If you are deploying a web application that uses Uniform capabilities to Netlify, it can be helpful to have easy access to the build status for your Netlify site. The Netlify integration for Uniform enables this.

Before you start

You must have the following available to complete the instructions in this section:

  1. An account in Netlify. You can use their free tier if you don't have one.
  2. Site in Netlify.

  1. In Netlify, navigate to personal access tokens.

  2. Click New access token.

  3. Enter a description and click Generate token.

  4. The access token is displayed. Note this value. You will need it when you add the Netlify integration to your Uniform project.
