JAMstack Deployments

This plugin does some really great stuff to trigger a deploy on Netlify (or other JAMstack hosts) based on activity on the WordPress website. 

Most often this would be used for headless WordPress, but since it's using build hooks (which essentially just tell the JAMstack host to process the build) it could be utilized for more than just headless CMS applications.

The setup was straightforward, and aided by screenshots. I've not explored using JAMstack providers other than Netlify for setup, but for Netlify this config setup procedure was very simple. 

One thing I'd love to see is a manual override option: sometimes I want to make a few quick changes in a row on my WP site that would (by default) trigger a build for each one. I'd like to be able to manually tell this plugin "don't trigger now" without having to manually deactivate it, and then when all changes are made I could deploy the changes all at once. This would save me some build minutes at Netlify. 

I'd envision this as a button in the top bar beside (or nested under) the deploy button that essentially allows "pausing" of deployments.

All told, great plugin that does exactly what it says!

Works fantastically with Netlify!

The perfect bridge between two awesome stacks: LAMP and JAMstack.
Great work, thanks for sharing!

Excellent Work

<p>Instead of going into <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a> and triggering a deploy everytime you make a change in WordPress, automate and make things easier with the <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> plugin. <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> lets you trigger deploys in <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a> (automatically!) without having to leave your WordPress Dashboard.</p>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
<p>So, you’ve build a headless static front-end for your WordPress site and hosted it on <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a>, good job! Wondering how would you trigger a deploy in <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a> everytime someone updates a post in WordPress? Forget going inside everytime an update is made and triggering a build manually, install <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> and let it run a deploy for you automatically on each update.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for a real-life example, I’ve build my personal site <a href="https://nahid.dev" rel="nofollow ugc">nahid.dev</a> (<a href="https://github.com/nfmohit/nahid.dev" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>) using <a href="https://www.gatsbyjs.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">GatsbyJS</a> with its source as WordPress and am hosting it on <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a>. I use <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> to automate deploys when I update pages and posts.</p>
<h3>Core Features</h3>
<p>The core features of the plugin include the abilities to:<br />
* Automatically trigger deploys on post publish<br />
* Automatically trigger deploys on post update<br />
* Automatically trigger deploys on post trash<br />
* Filter the post types for which you want automatic deploys to run<br />
* Add a button for manual deployments on the top admin toolbar.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>This plugin requires you have a site hosted on Netlify and a Build Webhook URL set up. Here’s how you can get a Build Hook URL:<br />
1. Log into <a href="https://app.netlify.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a>.<br />
2. From the list of sites, enter the site you want to set up <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> for.<br />
3. Go to <em>Site settings</em>.<br />
4. From the left sidebar, go to <em>Build and deploy<span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span>Continuous Deployment</em>.<br />

6. Click the “<em>Add build hook</em>” button, enter a preferred name for the webhook (e.g. “Deploy from WordPress”), choose the <a href="https://git-scm.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Git</a> branch to build and hit <em>Save</em>.<br />
7. You’ll be given a Build Hook URL that can be used in <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong>.</p>

2. Success/failure message on auto deploy trigger.<br />
3. Success/failure message on auto deploy status (after completion).<br />
