Vercel events, straight into Custom Webhook
Every deployment succeeding, failing, or being promoted — posted to Custom Webhook the moment it happens. No automation-platform subscription just to relay one webhook.
Why not call Vercel's API directly from your own endpoint? You can — but then you own Vercel's signature verification, retry handling, and payload quirks yourself. ZestyGlue verifies the signature, normalizes the event into a clean JSON body, and POSTs it to your URL — you only write the part that's actually yours.
What it looks like
ZestyGlue
Vercel — Deployment.Succeeded
my-app
my-app-git-main-myteam.vercel.app
A real Vercel event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Custom Webhook.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Vercel → Custom Webhook connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Vercel at it. Go to your team's Settings → Webhooks → Add Webhook, paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL, and select the deployment events you want.
- Copy the signing secret. Vercel shows a secret when you create the webhook (shown only once) — paste that into ZestyGlue's connector setup so every event can be verified as genuinely from Vercel.
- Point it at your endpoint. Paste the URL of your own server, script, or automation tool's webhook receiver — no signup, no app to install.
Under the hood: Vercel's webhook secret is only ever displayed once, at creation — copy it into ZestyGlue immediately, since there's no way to view it again afterward (only rotate to a new one).

Questions
Is my Vercel Webhook Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
Can I scope this to just one project instead of my whole team?
Yes — when creating the webhook, choose specific projects instead of "All Team Projects" to limit which deployments trigger it.
Will this fire for preview deployments too, not just production?
Yes, deployment events fire for preview and production deployments alike unless you scope the webhook or filter by branch on Vercel's side.
Do I need to write my own server to receive this?
Yes — this destination expects your own endpoint (or a tool like a serverless function, a script, or another automation platform's webhook trigger) to receive the POST. If you don't have one yet, pick one of ZestyGlue's built-in destinations instead.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Vercel's side — Vercel never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
