Netlify
The Netlify connector helps you build, deploy, and host the frontend of your web applications via Contentstack. For instance, consider a scenario where you update some content in Contentstack. This update triggers a webhook that notifies the Netlify connector to create a production build and deploy the frontend changes.
Set Up Netlify
Perform the following steps to set up the Netlify action connector:
- Click Configure Action Step from the left navigation panel.
- Click Action Step to configure third-party services.
- Within the Configure Action Step, click the Netlify connector.
- Under Choose an Action tab, select the Deploy Site action.
- Click the + Add New Account button to set up your Netlify account (see screenshot in next step).
- In the Authorize modal, enter a Title and a Token.
- You can generate a new token from the Personal access token section in your Netlify console. Navigate to User settings > Applications > New access token > Generate token.
Additional Resource: For more information, refer to the Obtain a token in Netlify UI document.
Then click Authorize. - On the Configure Action page, click the Site ID textbox and select an ID from the Lookup drop-down. The Site ID is a unique identification given to a project configured in Netlify. You can select the desired project for which you want to configure the Netlify connector.
- Click Proceed.
- You will see the input values which you have configured in the Configure Action modal.
- Check if the details are correct. If yes, click Test Action.
- Once the action is successfully executed, you will get the final output, and the build gets initiated in your Netlify console. Click Save and Exit.
- Log in to your Netlify console and navigate to the Deploy log window to check whether the build has been initiated or not.
This sets up the Netlify action connector.
