Automate Vercel

Watch your Vercel deployments and spending without refreshing the dashboard. Production deploys that error out, weekly deploy counts per project and budget thresholds get reported to the whole team, not just whoever pushed the commit. Explain to your assistant what should happen, confirm the steps it lays out, and the automation runs on its own after that.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every 5 minutes, check my Vercel projects for production deployments that failed and post each one to #deploys in Slack with the project name, branch and commit message.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in Vercel

Hear about a broken production deploy within minutes, see last week's ready and failed deploys per project, and get warned as spend approaches your budget. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
Every 5 minutes

Get a Slack alert when a production deploy fails

When a production deployment errors, you hear about it within minutes with the project, branch and commit.

See how it works
On a schedule

Get a weekly deploy summary per project

Each Monday you see how many deployments succeeded and failed in every Vercel project last week.

See how it works
Every 5 minutes

Send every failed deploy to the team channel

Any failed deploy in your team, preview or production, is posted for everyone to see along with who started it.

The moment it happens

Get a Slack message when Vercel spend nears budget

When your bill reaches 50%, 75% or 100% of your budget, the team sees the current spend straight away.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with Vercel, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any Vercel automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Vercel should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Check my Vercel deployments every 10 minutes and alert me if any production deployment fails, with an AI summary of the build log error.

When a Vercel production deployment finishes, post the project, commit message and URL to Slack.

When a Vercel preview deployment is ready, comment the preview link on the GitHub pull request, post it to Slack, and add it to the matching Linear issue.

Beyond chat

Have Vercel work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Vercel to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Vercel

Vercel connects with an access token you create in your own Vercel account. You decide whether it covers your personal account or one team, and when it expires.

Vercel

Developer / Hosting

  1. In Vercel, open Account Settings, then Tokens, and create a new token.
  2. Name it, choose the scope (your personal account or a specific team) and pick an expiration.
  3. Copy the token after it is created.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, save it as a secret on Connections & secrets. For team projects, also note your team ID so requests can include teamId.

Good to know

Vercel limits that affect automations

  • A token scoped to one team only sees that team's projects. Create a separate token for another team or for your personal account.
  • Spend alerts come from Vercel's Spend Management budget webhook, which is available on Pro teams and on Enterprise with Flexible Commitment, not on Hobby.
  • The budget webhook URL has to be added in Settings > Billing by an Owner or Billing member; the API token cannot set it up.
  • Vercel checks spend every few minutes, so a budget alert can arrive a little after the threshold is crossed.

FAQ

Questions about automating Vercel

What can ClickRuntime see in my Vercel account?
The projects and deployments your token's scope covers: each deployment's state, target, branch, commit and creator. The automations here only read; they do not trigger or roll back deploys.
How quickly will I hear about a failed deployment?
The deploy-failure automations check for errored deployments every 5 minutes and remember which ones they already reported, so each failure is sent once.
Can the whole team get failure alerts, not just the person who deployed?
Yes. The alert goes to a shared channel and names who created the deployment, so anyone can pick it up.
Which budget levels trigger a spend alert?
Vercel sends the budget webhook at 50%, 75% and 100% of the amount you set. The alert includes the current spend, the budget and the threshold reached. Older budgets may only notify at 100%.
Do Vercel automations use AI?
These ones do not; they check deployment states and numbers. If you want a short written summary added to the weekly report, the AI that comes with every ClickRuntime plan does that with no extra key.
Is this a Vercel connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Vercel data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Vercel while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Vercel event.
