How to replace characters in incoming URLs?

@martinwunderlich-cel What do you mean by “manual deployments”?

If you mean Drag and Drop that doesn’t support functions.

Deploying via the CLI does as indicated in the documentation:
https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/#deploy-directories

There is an old conversation regarding it all here:

Netlify functions without connected Git repo

Can we use Netlify functions without connecting a site to Git? How can I use Netlify functions if my build is handled in an external CI/CD service (and no need/willing to change)? Can I “connect my site to a Git repo” (to benefit from Netlify functions) while disabling all Netlify build step and still have Netlify functions working?
