Is there a way to trigger a specific step in a pipeline with an api call ?

Question

I am looking at this page, 
https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Busername%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D/pipelines/#post

and can't really understand if pipeline definition has a generic meaning and can be applied to a specific step.

If the triggering is doable can you do the same with a specific parallel step?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi Aris,

No, you can't trigger just a particular step or parallel group. You have to trigger a whole pipeline. However you may be able to achieve what you want by defining additional custom pipelines that contain just the step or steps that you want to run: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/run-pipelines-manually-861242583.html
