Is there a way to add a build step in TeamCity which sends a request to Jenkins server, run some automation test scripts in Jenkins and sends back a response to Teamcity. 

The idea basically is to automate the whole deployment process which also includes running of some automation tests created using python scripts (which will be done on Jenkins).

I am not sure if this is the best way of doing it but are there any better ways to achieve this? Also any hints on how to send command from Teamcity to Jenkins?
