# Execute Pipeline

> **Note:** Ensure you have installed the [required package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/pipelines/overview/#prerequisites) to use this SDK method.

You can initiate a Catalyst pipeline run by passing the [pipeline ID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/pipelines/help/pipelines/create-a-pipeline/) and the branch name to the `runPipeline()` SDK method. You can also pass environment variables required for the pipeline execution in a JSON object to this method, and it is completely optional. This method returns the execution history details of the pipeline as the response.

The `pipelines` reference used in the code snippets below is the [component instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/pipelines/create-instance/) created to perform these operations.

```javascript
// run the pipeline
const execution_details = pipelines.runPipeline("PIPELINE_ID", 'BRANCH_NAME',{"EVENT": "push", "URL":"https://www.google.com"}); // replace the params with your pipeline id, branch, event and url
```

#### Example of Expected Response

```json
{
    "history_id": "5000000021007",
    "pipeline_id": "8431000000162051",
    "event_time": "Mar 20, 2024 02:02 PM",
    "event_details": {
      "BRANCH_NAME": "main",
      "EVENT": "push",
      "URL": "https://www.google.com"
    },
    "history_status": "Queued"
}
```
