Last reviewed by Netlify Support staff: July 2025 Sometimes your projects may really benefit from automatic deploys, sometimes they won’t. For such sites, you can create them entirely as manual deploys or using Netlify’s CLI . If you want to turn off automatic deploys from git for a site that was …

Hello, I stumbled upon this thread as I was trying to block automatic deploys to both my production and staging branches until CI passes but I don’t want to block Deploy Previews. My approach was similar to option 2, stop auto publishing and triggering a deploy with either a hook or the CLI from my…

Unless you’re deploying using netlify deploy --prod this should work fine. --prod is for production deploys.

This was done with a --prod flag, that’s what I want to deploy via the CLI or API only after the CI passes

One solution would be to use the CLI in the following way. If all CI tests pass: The CLI is used to make an API call to enable auto-publishing. The manual deploy is made using netlify deploy --prod. The CLI is used to make an API call to disable auto-publishing again. Would that solution work for…

I tried that approach but to lock/un-lock deploys via de API, I needed to either save the previous deploy id or find it every time since the endpoint requests it. We ended up disabling builds completely and building on the CI to then deploy with the CLI with a mix of --prod and --alias flags based …

Hello all, Is there any way of knowing if a deploy originated from a build hook from inside the ignore builds script? With Vercel we have the deployment.meta.deployHookId which is very useful to short-circuit their Github App for preview environments deployment and take control over when to deploy…

This is a bit of a kludge but there is an environment variable which only exists when a webhook is used to trigger a deploy. The environment variable is named INCOMING_HOOK_BODY. Even if no body is sent, the variable will be created for all webhook triggered deploys. If no webhook is used, the vari…

Yeah this could work, as far as I understand that endpoint, it returns a list of all the deploys but again I have to find in all of them the one that my site is “locked” too. Is there a way to filter the query to get just that one deploy id?

No, but filtering is not too difficult either: const requiredDeploy = deploys.filter(deploy => { return deploy.id === '123' // check any condition that you need })[0]
