Can I automate Continuous Deployment trigger for Release Definition activation with the Azure Devops REST API 6.0?

Question

I worked to automate all the creation and setup of an Azure DevOps project from a PowerShell script using the Azure DevOps REST 6.0 API. I have ONLY ONE step left for the configuration to be fully automated ... This is the activation of the Continuous deployment trigger in the definition of a release pipeline ...

Is this a step that can be automated? Is there a way with the API?

Thank you for your answer ????

If you look at the history tab after enabling continuous deployment via the UI, you will see the JSON you need to provide:

    "triggers": [
        {
            "triggerType": 1,
            "triggerConditions": null,
            "artifactAlias": "_MyArtifact"
        }
    ],

With a branch filter:

  "triggers": [
    {
      "artifactAlias": "_MyArtifact",
      "triggerConditions": [
        {
          "sourceBranch": "main",
          "tags": [],
          "tagFilter": null,
          "useBuildDefinitionBranch": false,
          "createReleaseOnBuildTagging": false
        }
      ],
      "triggerType": "artifactSource"
    }
  ],
