Vercel integration
Overview
The Vercel integration allows you to seamlessly synchronize environment variables from your Vercel projects with the corresponding Defer environments. It also enables those Vercel projects to use Defer without any configuration.
Requirements
To use our Vercel integration, you’ll need at least a Vercel project linked to a Github repository.
If you don’t yet have a Defer account, you can go and integrate Vercel with Defer, the integration flow will take you to Defer to do so.
Step by step integration
- Log in to your Vercel dashboard.
- Navigate to the Defer integration page.
- Click “Add integration”. The installation popup will appear.
- Choose the account / team owning the projects you want to integrate. Click “Continue”.
