CI/CD deploy hook

What this means

What this means

A deploy hook is a unique HTTPS URL tied to your app. Calling it from a CI workflow triggers a fresh deploy — pulling the latest code, running the build command, and restarting the service. You never need to share portal credentials with your pipeline.

Before you start

Before you start

Have a deployed app in the portal, a GitHub Actions or other CI pipeline configured, and access to your repository's secrets settings.

Step-by-step guidance

Step-by-step guidance

1. Open the app service in the portal and scroll to the CI/CD Deploy Hook section.
2. Click Generate Token to create a unique hook URL for this app.
3. Copy the hook URL and add it as a secret in your GitHub repository under Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions.
4. In your GitHub Actions workflow YAML, add a step after your build that sends a POST request to the hook URL.
5. Push a change to your repository and watch the Runtime Logs panel in the portal to confirm the redeploy was triggered.
