How to trigger build after release is completed successfully in azure devops?

I have build and release definition in azure-devops. I want the build to be triggered after release is done, I don't repeat the steps, I want to trigger already existing build definition. I am trying to figure how to do this in azure-devops.

When I tell build it is end to end test. The idea is to run the end to end test after release is done. Note I already have E2E Tests build, here I have repeated the steps, instead I want to just refer the existing build and trigger it. Any suggestion or help on how to do this will be of great help.

This is not currently supported. This document has all Azure DevOps trigger events. Currently release completion cannot trigger a build.

As a workaround, we could open release definition and add task power shell at the end to call REST API to trigger build.

Power shell script:

$token = "{PAT}"   
$url = "https://dev.azure.com/{Org name}/{project name}/_apis/build/builds?api-version=6.1-preview.6"
$token = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($token)"))


$JSON = @"
{
  "definition": {
    "id": {Build Definition ID}
  }
}
"@

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers @{Authorization = "Basic $token"} -Method Post -ContentType application/json -body $JSON

Also, we could add the extension Trigger Azure DevOps Pipeline and then add task Trigger Azure DevOps Pipeline at the end of the job to trigger build.

Result:
