Novence

Integration

Does Novence work with GitHub Actions?

Yes — it connects. GitHub Actions deploys a pre-built folder with npx novence deploy ./dist --no-input and NOVENCE_API_KEY.

What does the GitHub Actions integration sync?

  • Upload the built static directory (or one HTML file)
  • Run Lighthouse/axe/link checks on verified plans
  • Print the live URL; failures exit non-zero so the job fails

How do I set up GitHub Actions with Novence?

  1. Step 01 · Build first

    Novence does not run next build. Export static HTML in the workflow, then deploy the output folder.

  2. Step 02 · Store the key

    Add NOVENCE_API_KEY as a GitHub Actions secret. Never commit it.

  3. Step 03 · Deploy

    npx novence deploy ./dist --json --no-input. Node 18+ on the runner.

Example GitHub Actions workflow

name: Deploy static site
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 20
      - run: npm ci && npm run build
      - run: npx novence deploy ./dist --json --no-input
        env:
          NOVENCE_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.NOVENCE_API_KEY }}

Is this on the Free plan?

Yes after the account is email-verified. The key is an nv_ key from bootstrap or claim.
