Infisical's Vercel Sync lets you automatically push secrets from Infisical into your Vercel project's environment variables, keeping both platforms in sync without manual copy-paste.
The short video below walks through configuring a Vercel Sync end-to-end.
<div style={{ position: "relative", paddingBottom: "56.25%", height: 0, overflow: "hidden", maxWidth: "100%" }}> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pFKbhBTiutk" title="YouTube video player" style={{ position: "absolute", top: 0, left: 0, width: "100%", height: "100%", border: 0 }} allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen /> </div>Prerequisites:
- Set up and add secrets to [Infisical Cloud](https://app.infisical.com)
- Create a [Vercel Connection](/integrations/app-connections/vercel)
2. Select the **Vercel** option.
3. Configure the **Source** from where secrets should be retrieved, then click **Next**.
- **Environment**: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
- **Secret Path**: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.
<Tip>
If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out [secret imports](/documentation/platform/secret-reference#secret-imports).
</Tip>
4. Configure the **Destination** to where secrets should be deployed, then click **Next**.
- **Vercel Connection**: The Vercel Connection to authenticate with.
- **Vercel App**: The application to deploy secrets to.
- **Vercel App Environment**: The environment to deploy secrets to.
- **Vercel Preview Branch (Optional)**: Specify a branch for preview deployments if needed.
After configuring these parameters, click the **Next** button to continue to the Sync Options step.
5. Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Next**.
- **Initial Sync Behavior**: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync.
- **Overwrite Destination Secrets**: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical.
- **Import Secrets (Prioritize Infisical)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Infisical over Vercel when keys conflict.
- **Import Secrets (Prioritize Vercel)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Vercel over Infisical when keys conflict.
<Note>
Vercel does not expose the values of [sensitive environment variables](https://vercel.com/docs/environment-variables/sensitive-environment-variables), so Infisical cannot import them during the initial sync. As a result, these secrets are created in Infisical with empty values. After the first sync, you'll need to manually re-enter their values in Infisical to ensure both platforms stay aligned.
</Note>
- **Key Schema**: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using `{{secretKey}}` as a placeholder for the original secret name and `{{environment}}` for the environment.
<Note>
We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched.
</Note>
- **Auto-Sync Enabled**: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
- **Disable Secret Deletion**: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical.
6. Configure the **Details** of your Vercel Sync, then click **Next**.
- **Name**: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly.
- **Description**: An optional description for your sync.
7. Review your Vercel Sync configuration, then click **Create Sync**.
8. If enabled, your Vercel Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.

<Tab title="API">
To create an **Vercel Sync**, make an API request to the [Create Vercel Sync](/api-reference/endpoints/secret-syncs/vercel/create) API endpoint.
