How do I trigger a Netlify build?

Short answer: You can trigger netlify build in Netlify by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Netlify Trigger Netlify Build action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Trigger Netlify Build.

What does the Trigger Netlify Build action do in Netlify?

Manually triggers a build/deploy for a site. For "content changed in CMS → rebuild static site" or "scheduled daily rebuild for fresh data" patterns.

What inputs does Trigger Netlify Build require?

Required: Site. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Netlify returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Netlify returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Trigger Netlify Build support batch operations?

Run Trigger Netlify Build inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Netlify's rate limits.
