Serve your content around the world with its global CDN ## Agility CMS and Vercel Vercel offers an extremely helpful marketplace that allows you to extend and automate your workflow by integrating with your favorite tools, such as Agility CMS! Our integration with Vercel will set the environment variables that allow you to connect to your data from Agility CMS in your Vercel applications. In addition, it will also configure your Agility CMS instance with a preview and production domain, which enables direct links for your editing team. ## Deploy from the Content Manager You can deploy our template starters using the Vercel integration built-in to the Agility CMS Manager. ### Step 1: Deployment Settings Start by heading into **Settings > Sitemaps**, then clicking **Setup Deployment.** ![](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-12.57.25-PM-09292021142839-11112021185354.png) ### Step 2: Vercel Automated Deployment Select the Vercel Automated Deployment option to connect to Vercel and deploy your website. ![](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen-Shot-2021-03-11-at-12.58.19-PM-09292021142900-11112021185506.png) ### Step 3: Create Git Repository First, create a Git Repository for your project to ensure you can easily update your project after deploying it. ![](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen-Shot-2021-07-13-at-12.49.54-PM-09292021142919-11112021185555.png) ### Step 4: Add Agility CMS Integration Next, Install the Agility CMS integration that will authorize access between Vercel and your Agility CMS content so that we can automatically configure your **Production** and **Preview** domains, as well as set up your **Environment Variables**. ![](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen-Shot-2021-07-13-at-12.51.04-PM-09292021142944-11112021185731.png) ### Step 5: Deploy Lastly, Vercel will fetch the source code for the template starters and it will be cloned into your Git repository.

This button will *create an instance* in Agility, and automatically *deploy* it to **Vercel**, also configuring the necessary environment variables for you. Vercel provides a frictionless experience that handles all of the hard things for you: Vercel is an all-in-one platform for frontend frameworks, supporting the best of both worlds with static and hybrid deployment options, as well as providing dynamic computations with the use of serverless functions. ![How to deploy Vercel with Agility CMS](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen_Shot_2021-10-04_at_12.37.19_PM-10132021184955.png) Upon clicking the button, you will be taken into the deployment flow. ### Step 1: Create Git Repository First, to ensure you can easily update your project after deploying it, a Git repository must be created. ![Create Git Repository to deploy Vercel with Agility CMS](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen_Shot_2021-10-04_at_12.38.57_PM-10132021185025.png) ### Step 2: Add Agility CMS Integration Next, you'll need to add the Agility CMS Integration. ![CMS integration to deploy Vercel with Agility CMS](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen_Shot_2021-10-04_at_12.43.42_PM-10132021185036.png) ### Step 3: Authenticate with Agility CMS When you add the integration, you'll be prompted to sign in or sign up. ![Authenticating Agility CMS](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen_Shot_2021-10-04_at_12.44.07_PM-10132021185050.png) ### Step 4: Create a New Agility CMS Instance After creating a new account or logging into your existing account, you will be able to create a new Agility CMS Instance. ![Creating new instance in Agility CMS](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Group_2-10132021185102.png) When your Agility CMS Instance is created, you will be able to click to open your new Instance or click **OK** to continue with the deployment process. ![Open a new blog with Agility CMS](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Group_2_copy-10132021185113.png) Once the Agility CMS Integration has been added successfully and your instance has been created, Vercel will deploy your project, automatically configuring any necessary environment variables. ![New blog started with Agility CMS](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen_Shot_2021-05-26_at_5.25.02_PM-10132021185122.png) ## Adding the Agility CMS Integration from Vercel Marketplace To add our Integration, search for the Agility CMS Integration in the [Vercel Marketplace](https://vercel.com/integrations/agility-cms), then click on **Add Integration**. ![Add Agility CMS integration from Vercel marketplace](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen_Shot_2021-10-05_at_10.17.41_AM-10132021185203.png) ### Step 1: Select your Vercel Scope You will then be asked to select a Vercel Scope to add the Integration to, select your Personal Account or your Vercel Team. ![Add Agility CMS to a Vercel scope](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen_Shot_2021-10-05_at_10.20.26_AM-10132021185214.png) ### Step 2: Project Selection Next, select the Projects to which the Integration will be added. ![Add Agility CMS to Vercel project ](https://cdn.aglty.io/agility-cms-docs/block-editor/developerarticles/Screen_Shot_2021-10-05_at_10.31.15_AM-10132021185228.png) ### Specific Projects Selecting **Specific Projects** will apply the environment variable values from a **Single Instance** to the **Selected Project**. You will most likely want to select this option. ### All Projects Selecting **All Projects** will configure and apply the environment variable values from a **Single Instance** to **ALL** of your Vercel projects.
