FAQ

Questions about Create Deployment.

What does the Create Deployment action do in Vercel?
Triggers a new deployment for a Vercel project from a Git ref or uploaded files. Use to re-deploy on content-only changes (CMS publishes) or to promote from a non-Git workflow.
What inputs does Create Deployment require?
Required: Project Name, Git Ref, Repository ID, Git Provider. 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 Vercel returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Create Deployment support batch operations?
Yes. Run Create Deployment inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Vercel's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
