Connect Netlify and deploy your web app with one click. Rocket handles the build and deployment automatically, so you go from project to live URL in seconds.

Rocket includes a default Netlify account for deployments. Connecting your own gives you full control over deployment history, custom domains, and the Netlify dashboard.

## Connect Netlify

Netlify connects via OAuth, so no API key is needed. It is a **workspace-level** connector, so connect it once from Settings and it is available across all tasks.

</Card>

Click the **Netlify** card and click **Connect**. A Netlify authorization screen opens. Sign in if prompted, review the permissions, and click **Authorize**.

## Deploy your task

<Note>
  Netlify deployment is triggered from the Rocket UI, not chat prompts. Click the **Launch** button in your task to publish.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Launch">
    Click the **Launch** button in the Rocket preview toolbar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select environment">
    Pick the tab that matches your goal:

    * **Staging** — deploy to a temporary URL for testing and sharing. See [Publish to staging](/build/launch-web/launch-your-site#publish-to-staging) for the full flow (publish, update, unpublish).
    * **Production** — go live on your own domain. See [Custom domain](/build/launch-web/custom-domain) for setup instructions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for deployment">
    Rocket builds and deploys your app to a live Netlify URL automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

For a complete overview of the Launch dialog and release management, see [Launch your site](/build/launch-web/launch-your-site).

## Tips

* **Web apps only.** Netlify hosts web applications. Mobile apps built in Rocket cannot be deployed to Netlify.
* **Default account available.** If you do not connect your own Netlify account, Rocket uses a default one. Connect your own for full control over deployment history and custom domains.
* **Custom domains are configured in Netlify.** After deploying, go to the [Netlify dashboard](https://app.netlify.com) to connect a custom domain and update DNS records.
* **Build settings are automatic.** Rocket configures the correct build command and publish directory - no manual setup needed.
* **HTTPS is included.** All Netlify deployments come with free HTTPS certificates automatically.
