Hi,

For the past four days, we’ve been encountering deployment failures on Netlify through GitHub actions, with the following error log message: “Error: Site not found. Please rerun ‘netlify link’”.

Previously, we experienced a failed SSL certificate update and we had to update it manually. After that, we updated our Netlify login credentials: we previously accessed Netlify via GitHub, but we updated the email and set a password. We are not sure if these changes might be related to the current issue.

We have tried to update the site IDs environment variables in GitHub, but the issue persists.

Could you provide any insight into the potential cause and steps we should take to resolve this issue?

Thank you!

Hi there, often this error happens in the Netlify CLI when it is unable to locate the site specified by the NETLIFY_SITE_ID environment variable. You want to make sure you specify the site ID.

Let us know if that solves your issue!

Hi! Thanks, but I’ve already specified the site ID and ensured that it’s correctly updated, so I’m afraid this isn’t the issue.

This would usually happen if there’s any kind of a connectivity issue or a network failure when Netlify CLI tries to connect to Netlify API.

Hi, thanks for your reply! However, we have tried to run the deployment multiple times at different moments, so I don’t think that’s the issue…

Could you ensure your auth token is updated or try changing that? Maybe try using that auth token in curl to see if you’re able to load that site?

Hi, thanks for your help. The problem was indeed related to the auth token. It hadn’t expired, but I believe something occurred due to the change of email. Thanks again!
