Lindy Deploy Integration
Overview
Lindy agents run on Lindy's managed infrastructure. Deployment focuses on your integration layer: webhook receivers, callback handlers, and application code that Lindy agents interact with via HTTP Request actions and webhook triggers.
Prerequisites
- Lindy agents configured and tested
- Application with webhook receiver endpoints
- Deployment platform (Vercel, Railway, Docker, AWS, GCP)
- Lindy API key and webhook secrets
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Application for Deployment
// src/server.ts — Production-ready Lindy webhook receiver
import express from 'express';
import helmet from 'helmet';
const app = express();
app.use(helmet());
app.use(express.json({ limit: '1mb' }));
// Health check for load balancer
app.get('/health', (req, res) => {
res.json({
status: 'ok',
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
version: process.env.APP_VERSION || 'unknown',
});
});
// Lindy webhook receiver with auth verification
app.post('/lindy/callback', (req, res) => {
const auth = req.headers.authorization;
if (auth !== `Bearer ${process.env.LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET}`) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' });
}
// Respond immediately, process async
res.json({ received: true });
// Async processing
processWebhook(req.body).catch(err => {
console.error('Webhook processing error:', err);
});
});
async function processWebhook(payload: any) {
const { taskId, status, result } = payload;
// Your business logic here
console.log(`Task ${taskId}: ${status}`, result);
}
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Listening on :${PORT}`));
Step 2: Docker Deployment
# Dockerfile
FROM node:20-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --production
COPY dist/ ./dist/
EXPOSE 3000
ENV NODE_ENV=production
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s \
CMD wget -qO- http://localhost:3000/health || exit 1
CMD ["node", "dist/server.js"]
# Build and run
docker build -t lindy-integration .
docker run -d \
-p 3000:3000 \
-e LINDY_API_KEY="$LINDY_API_KEY" \
-e LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET="$LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET" \
--name lindy-app \
lindy-integration
Step 3: Vercel Deployment
# Install Vercel CLI
npm i -g vercel
# Set secrets
vercel secrets add lindy-api-key "$LINDY_API_KEY"
vercel secrets add lindy-webhook-secret "$LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET"
# Deploy
vercel --prod
// vercel.json
{
"env": {
"LINDY_API_KEY": "@lindy-api-key",
"LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET": "@lindy-webhook-secret"
}
}
Step 4: Update Lindy Agent Webhook URLs
After deployment, update all Lindy agents with production URLs:
- In Lindy dashboard, open each agent with a webhook trigger
- Navigate to the HTTP Request action (if agent calls your API)
- Update URL from dev/staging to production:
OLD: https://abc123.ngrok.io/lindy/callback NEW: https://api.yourapp.com/lindy/callback - For webhook triggers, callers need the Lindy-generated URL (unchanged)
- Test with a sample webhook to verify end-to-end
Step 5: Post-Deploy Verification
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Post-Deploy Verification ==="
PROD_URL="https://api.yourapp.com"
# Health check
echo "[1/3] Health check..."
curl -sf "$PROD_URL/health" | jq .
# Webhook endpoint reachable
echo "[2/3] Webhook endpoint..."
STATUS=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
-X POST "$PROD_URL/lindy/callback" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"test": true}')
echo "Webhook endpoint: HTTP $STATUS (expect 200)"
# Trigger a test agent run
echo "[3/3] Agent trigger test..."
curl -s -X POST "https://public.lindy.ai/api/v1/webhooks/YOUR_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"event": "deploy.verify", "env": "production"}'
echo "Agent triggered — check Tasks tab in Lindy dashboard"
Step 6: Rollback Plan
# If deployment fails, rollback:
# Vercel
vercel rollback
# Docker
docker stop lindy-app
docker run -d --name lindy-app-rollback \
-e LINDY_API_KEY="$LINDY_API_KEY" \
-e LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET="$LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET" \
lindy-integration:previous-tag
# Update Lindy agents back to previous URLs if needed
Deployment Checklist
| Step | Verification |
|------|-------------|
| Build passes | npm run build exits 0 |
| Tests pass | npm test all green |
| Secrets configured | API key + webhook secret in platform |
| Health check responds | GET /health returns 200 |
| Webhook auth works | POST with valid token returns 200 |
| Webhook auth rejects | POST without token returns 401 |
| Lindy agent URLs updated | HTTP Request actions point to prod |
| End-to-end test | Trigger agent, receive callback |
Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Webhook 502 | App crashed/not running | Check container logs, restart | | Webhook timeout | Slow processing | Respond 200 immediately, process async | | Wrong URL in Lindy | Not updated post-deploy | Update HTTP Request action URLs | | SSL error | Certificate issue | Verify HTTPS cert is valid | | Secret mismatch | Dev secret in prod | Verify production secrets match Lindy config |
