Move an application from an active Interactive Chat sandbox into a managed Revolte Preview environment.
This flow is for an existing application with a connected repository and a preconfigured cloud provider. If cloud access is not configured, connect a provider before launching the deployment.
1

Request a Preview deployment

When the application is ready to test outside the chat sandbox, click View Preview. If GitHub is not connected, connect it through the GitHub repository integration before continuing. If the repository does not have deployment configuration yet, select Generate revolte.yml configuration file.

Review the generated deployment files

Revolte analyzes the application and prepares the files required for deployment. Depending on the application, these can include:
  • revolte.yml for environments, services, resources, branches, and scaling
  • A Dockerfile for the production runtime
  • A health-check endpoint used during deployment
Review every generated file under File changes before continuing.

Create the project and application if needed

If the project or application does not already exist, create them as new before continuing. This ensures the Preview deployment is associated with the correct workspace and app configuration.
