Triggering a build for a shared repo on a free plan

Hi everyone,

I’m on a free Vercel plan and collaborate on a GitHub repository with several colleagues. Until August, I was able to trigger a build of the latest push using a webhook, but recently the webhook no longer works.

Is there any way—perhaps a manual option in the Vercel dashboard—to trigger a new build of the latest commit for this shared repo while staying on the free plan?

Thanks a lot for any advice!

I’ve run into the same issue before on the free plan, Vercel limits webhook triggers for shared repos, so builds don’t always fire as expected. The easiest workaround is to use the “Redeploy” button in the Vercel dashboard, which manually triggers a build of the latest commit. Not as seamless as webhooks, but it works fine if you just need to refresh the deployment occasionally.

Thanks a lot for the help!

The thing is, when I hit “Redeploy” from the deployments list in Vercel, it doesn’t actually pick up the latest push from the shared repo — it just rebuilds the old commit. Do you know if there’s any way on the Free plan to make it grab the most recent push automatically?
