// Vercel integration

Monitor Vercel.Hear only when it matters.

Hear about a failed production deploy — and nothing at all about your preview builds.

What Beaam does with Vercel

Beaam imports every Vercel project the token reaches — personal and every team — and checks each project's recent deploys every minute. Only production failures alert: preview builds fail constantly by design, and paging for them would teach you to ignore Beaam.

What raises an incident

Curated deliberately: a short list worth your attention, not every metric that exists. Each one needs repeated evidence before Beaam calls it — a single bad reading is not an incident.

SignalWhen Beaam speaks up
Production deploy failedAny production deploy failed in the last hour → degraded.

Also collected, but quiet

Charted on the service page and there for context when something does break — but it will not wake you unless you ask it to.

setup

Designed to stay small

Paste a Vercel access token. Beaam finds every team it reaches, no team id needed.

Beaam applies sensible defaults. Threshold configuration is optional, not onboarding.

access

Read-only, and revocable

Beaam never writes to Vercel. Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key held as a deploy secret, and are deleted immediately when you disconnect.

Questions

What does Beaam alert on for Vercel?

1 signals can raise an incident: Production deploy failed. Everything else is collected for context but stays quiet until you opt in.

How long does it take to connect Vercel?

Paste a Vercel access token. Beaam finds every team it reaches, no team id needed. Most connections are watching within a few minutes, and you can send a test alert immediately to prove the path works end to end.

Does Beaam need write access to Vercel?

No. Beaam only ever performs read operations — there is no code path that writes to a connected provider. Worth separating from that: what Beaam *does* and what a token *permits* are different things. Where Vercel offers a read-scoped credential, use it; some providers only issue tokens carrying broader rights than Beaam uses, which is a property of their API rather than of Beaam's behaviour. Scope it as narrowly as the provider allows. Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage and deleted the moment you disconnect.

What does Vercel monitoring cost?

The free plan covers two integrations and five watched services, with email, push, Slack and webhook alerts. Solo is $19/month flat for unlimited integrations and services, adding SMS — there is no per-host, per-check or per-alert metering.

Watching more than Vercel?

Most stacks are several services with seams between them, and the seams are where the damaging failures hide. Beaam correlates across every connected integration, so a database problem reads as one incident rather than five alarms from five tools.
