#426

Enable programmatically setting the URL of a deployment

Requested

Submitted October 29, 2026

Problem: Sometimes users need preview deployment URLs as env vars in other services’ PR environments. The URLs are only known after the deploy finishes, so today they deploy, wait, copy the URLs over by hand, then redeploy their other services.

Ask: Let the deploy command set the URL up front, e.g. convex deploy --preview-name pr-444 --identifier 444 → <team>-<project>-444.convex.cloud. It should fail if the name is taken.
