  3. Open the Deployment module from the primary navigation
  4. Select Configure Netlify to set up the integration
    • Personal Access Token: Your Netlify personal access token
    • Account Slug (optional): Your Account Slug to filter sites to a specific account. Leave empty to show all accessible sites
  5. Click Save to connect and start adding sites

::callout{icon="material-symbols:warning" color="warning"} Removing Sites

Removing a site from the Netlify integration will permanently delete all deployment history for that site from Directus. This cannot be undone. ::

View Your Sites

Once set up, your connected Netlify sites appear in the Deployment module. From here you can:

  • See all connected sites at a glance
  • Access deployment controls for each site
  • Track deployment status and history

::callout{icon="material-symbols:shield" color="info"} Permissions

The Deployment module uses Directus native permissions to control access. See Deployment Security for details on configuring roles and access policies. ::
