Republishing without having to click the button?

Following up on this post.

Now that we can publish to Connect Cloud from non-Github repositories on our computer with Posit Publisher, I'm curious about automated publishing workflows beyond GitHub. Specifically, something like rsconnect::deployApp() but supporting Connect Cloud.

Does this functionality exist and I just missed it? Or, is it on the roadmap?

Hi Kyle, good question and great timing. We are currently testing rsconnect support and I'm hopeful it will available within the next month. I'll circle back here with a link to documentation when it is fully wired up.

Just wondering if it's possible to republish on a schedule, or when the linked GitHub repo is updated, or if there's some feature like that might be coming up soon? I was trying to find an option other than manually clicking to republish as I'm experimenting with deploying a Quarto dashboard which needs updating daily.

At the moment, republishing has to be done manually. There’s no built-in way to schedule it or sync it with GitHub changes yet, but that kind of automation is on the roadmap.

Thanks, Sara.

There are creative ways to use GitHub actions to achieve this right now. Here is an example repo: GitHub - alex-chisholm/stocks-scheduled-r

But... we also expect that scheduling from Connect Cloud will be available within the next several weeks. So I'll circle back here for both product updates (rsconnect and scheduling) shortly.

Thanks for using Connect Cloud!

Hi @kylewalker, rsconnect now supports deployments to Connect Cloud!

You can now deploy from an R session in any IDE, including RStudio

The rsconnect R package now supports Connect Cloud deployments. This means that you can programmatically deploy to Connect Cloud from any R session, including from the RStudio IDE for the first time. Learn more
