Deploying on Netlify

Netlify works seamlessly with BCMS. There’s no special configuration required - just set your environment variables properly.

Set environment variables

In your Netlify project dashboard, add the following environment variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_ORG_ID
NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_INSTANCE_ID
NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_API_KEY_ID
NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_API_KEY_SECRET

These should match what you use in local development.

Reference them in code

Use the environment variables when initializing the BCMS client:

import { Client } from '@thebcms/client';

export const bcms = new Client(
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_ORG_ID,
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_INSTANCE_ID,
  {
    id: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_API_KEY_ID,
    secret: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BCMS_API_KEY_SECRET,
  }
);

Trigger builds on content updates

For static builds, you can connect a webhook in BCMS to trigger Netlify deploys when content is published or updated.
