What CoIsland watches in Vercel

Each monitor kind brings its own query and its own card in the notch.

How to monitor Vercel from your Mac’s notch

Vercel emails you when a production deployment fails, and tells you nothing when a preview hangs in the queue or a domain stops resolving. A CoIsland monitor checks what you pick on its own schedule and speaks up only about what changed.

team:acme project:web target:production
project:web state:ready target:preview branch:main
for:20m
project:web problem:misconfigured,unverified cert:14d

Connect Vercel walks through the token, its scopes and every monitor kind.

Connect it in three steps

  1. Create an access token at vercel.com/account/tokens, scoped to your account, a team or one project.

  2. Add a Vercel connector with the token. Test connector shows who it is, its scope and its expiry.

  3. Pick a monitor kind or an example, choose the team and projects, and choose when it alerts.

Built for Vercel

  • Read only: it never redeploys, promotes, cancels or edits a domain.
  • A failed build shows its failing step and the end of its log.
  • Team and project pickers filled from your Vercel account.
  • The token stays in the macOS Keychain and goes only to api.vercel.com.

Then hand it to an agent

A click on the alert opens the agent in a terminal under it, with the whole alert as its first message.

Vercel questions

How do I get notified on my Mac when a Vercel deployment fails?

Add a Vercel connector in CoIsland, then a Deployments monitor, or the Failed production deploys example. The first check learns what already failed and stays quiet; after that each new failed deployment opens the notch with its project, environment, error and author.

Does CoIsland work on Vercel's Hobby plan?

Yes. Deployments, stuck builds and domain problems all work on Hobby.

Can a Vercel token be read-only?

No, Vercel tokens have no read-only setting. CoIsland only sends GET requests, and a token scoped to one team or one project limits what it can reach.
