# Vercel deployment canceled when using Ignored Build Step with Deploy Hooks

I just want to be able to deploy via **web hook**. Right now I have “Don’t build anything” and I think that’s why the deploy is canceled, but I also don’t know what other option to put so that it’s only via hook the deployment

“Don’t build anything” will cancel all type of deployment. If you particularly want to disable git deployment, you can set following in `vercel.json`

```
{
  "git": {
    "deploymentEnabled": false
  }
}
```
