01
Start from a preset
Open ActivitySmith webhooks, choose Vercel, then pick a ready-to-use preset for a deployment Live Activity, production deploy push notifications, or failed-deploy alerts - the webhook is wired up in seconds.
Track Vercel deployments on your lock screen
Route Vercel deployment webhooks through ActivitySmith so builds, ready states, cancellations, and errors surface on your team's paired iOS devices. Send events as Push Notifications for fast alerts, or keep long-running work visible with Live Activities.

vercel.com/docsWebhook signal coverage
Use provider payload fields to keep each iOS update specific, routeable, and tied to the workflow event that caused it.
Vercel events ActivitySmith can route
- Deployment lifecycle events - for example queued, building, ready, canceled, and error - for Live Activity starts, progress ticks, and final outcomes.
- Production vs preview targeting so production ship notifications do not get lost in preview noise.
- Project, deployment URL, domains, Git metadata, and status fields for concrete titles and messages.
- Inspector-friendly payload fields so tap targets and messages point at the deployment you care about.
Set it up from the webhook settings
Create the ActivitySmith endpoint first, paste it into Vercel, then choose what appears on your device from the incoming payload fields.
02
Register the endpoint in Vercel
In your Vercel project, add the ActivitySmith URL under Webhooks and subscribe to the deployment events you care about.
03
Tune what lands on iOS
Use the preset as-is, or map Vercel payload fields into titles, messages, progress, channels, and action buttons so the right team sees each deploy.
Use it for
Dashboards stay at the desk. ActivitySmith puts Vercel deploy signal on your lock screen so releases stay visible when you step away.
Production ship line
Start a Live Activity when Vercel begins a production deployment, update it through build and promote, and close it when the deployment is ready or errors.
Broken deploy, fast push notification
Send a push notification when a deployment fails or is canceled so on-call sees the miss without refreshing the dashboard.
Preview deploys without alert fatigue
Use preview vs production fields to route preview updates to a quieter channel while production stays high signal.
Open the deployment in one tap
Add buttons that open the deployment in Vercel, the live URL, or an internal runbook when a rollout needs eyes.
