ActionVercelUpdated September 2026
How do I trigger a new Vercel deployment?
Short answer: You can create deployment in Vercel by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Vercel Create Deployment action to a workflow, map its 5 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Project Name name | string | Required | Project Name. Example: my-app |
Git Ref gitSource_ref | string | Required | Branch, tag, or commit SHA to deploy |
Repository ID gitSource_repoId | string | Required | GitHub/GitLab repo ID (numeric) |
Git Provider gitSource_type | options | Required | Git Provider. Options: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket |
Target target | options | Optional | Target. Options: Production, Preview |
Sample request
{"name": "e.g. my-app","gitSource_ref": "e.g. main","gitSource_repoId": "e.g. 123456789","gitSource_type": "{{trigger.gitSource_type}}","target": "{{trigger.target}}"}
Returns
{"id": "dpl_abc123","url": "my-app-abc123.vercel.app","target": "production","createdAt": 1700000000000,"readyState": "QUEUED"}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Vercel 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 Create Deployment support batch operations?
Run Create Deployment 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 Vercel's rate limits.
