I would like a System Environment Variable to know when a Deploy Hook has triggered a Deployment (for use in an Ignored Build Step script).
This is close to what I ultimately wanted but was closed prematurely https://community.vercel.com/t/deploy-hook-only-in-ignored-build-step/1188
Hey ! If you want deployments only via Deploy Hook, you could disable Git deployments with git.deploymentEnabled. But I suspect you've got a more nuanced reason that you need a Deploy Hook flag for your Ignored Build Step script.
If you can describe the scenario a bit more, I'll try to find an existing option that would work for you or open a ticket with the engineering team if we need something new added.
Howdy, I have a production environment and custom environment that both build from the main git branch. In addition to git deployments, I also want one of these to build via Deploy Hook and the other to not. I don’t want to have to manage multiple git branches to do this (though I might investigate https://git-scm.com/docs/git-symbolic-ref as an alternative option).
Thanks for sharing that. I reached out to the engineering team for more ideas and I'll let you know what I hear back from them.
Would you want it to be a simple boolean to indicate whether the deployment was trigger by a deploy hook? Or do you need to know the name of the deploy hook too?
A boolean would be excellent and sufficient to solve my issue!
I don't have specific timeline for the new environment variable, but the team confirmed they have a ticket to work on this once they're freed up from current projects.
