Vercel Webhooks Integration for Push Notifications and Live Activities

ActivitySmith Vercel webhooks integration

Use ActivitySmith to get Vercel deployment events on your iOS devices instead of buried in a dashboard tab. Add the generated inbound webhook URL to your Vercel project, choose the events you care about, and route them into Push Notifications and Live Activities for your team.

Start with a preset, not a blank canvas. Pick a ready-to-use preset for a deployment Live Activity, production deploy push notifications, or failed-deploy alerts and the webhook is wired up in seconds - then customize titles, actions, routing, and payload mapping however you want.

Why use this if Vercel already shows deploys in the dashboard

The Vercel dashboard is great when you are sitting in front of it. It is not great for shared visibility when a production ship is in flight and the team is in a meeting, on a walk, or heads-down in another tool.

ActivitySmith puts the same events on the lock screen and in the ActivitySmith log, with links and actions that take people straight to the right Vercel deployment.

Track production ships live. A production deploy is exactly the kind of long-running event Live Activities were built for. Start one when deployment.created fires, update it through build and promote, and close it when deployment.succeeded or deployment.error lands.

Route failures differently from the rest. Filter on target so production deployment.error and deployment.canceled page on-call, while preview deploys stay quiet on a low-priority channel.

Catch broken deploys without refreshing the dashboard. When deployment.error fires, send a push notification with the project, branch, commit, and inspector URL so whoever is closest can open the failing build in one tap.

You can use the preset as-is, or keep editing from there. Change the wording, map different payload fields (deployment URL, commit SHA, author, target), and add an action that opens the deployment in Vercel, the live URL, or an internal runbook on tap.
