Overview
An automation project may include a form, portal, or event intake endpoint. Separating preview and production environments lets you test a change before it reaches clients. A successful deployment confirms that the build completed, but not necessarily that the database connection and external service work. To check that a deployment is live, open an internal URL directly, send a test request, and verify that the response and saved data are as expected.
