In your Jenkins job configuration, tick the box named "This build is parameterized", click the "Add Parameter" button and select the "String Parameter" drop down value.

Now define your parameter - example:

Next to trigger the build with own/custom parameter, invoke the following URL (using either POST or GET):

http://JENKINS_SERVER_ADDRESS/job/YOUR_JOB_NAME/buildWithParameters?myparam=myparam_value
