Wait for Vercel Preview — A GitHub Action ⏱

Do you have other Github actions (Lighthouse, Cypress, etc) that depend on the Vercel Preview URL? This action will wait until the url is available before running the next task.

Please note that this action is supposed to be run on the pull_request or push events.

environment

Optional — The name of the environment that was deployed to (e.g., staging or production)

max_timeout

Optional — The amount of time to spend waiting on Vercel. Defaults to 60 seconds

allow_inactive

Optional - Use the most recent inactive deployment (previously deployed preview) associated with the pull request if no new deployment is available. Defaults to false.
