Automatic deployments are disabled for this application

Error message

Automatic deployments are disabled for this application

What it means

Same deploy webhook handler: the application was found by refresh token, but its autoDeploy flag is false, so the endpoint refuses with 400 'Automatic deployments are disabled for this application'.

Solutions

Enable 'Automatic Deploy' in the application's deployment settings
Or remove/disable the external webhook if manual deploys are intended
Re-verify with a test payload after enabling

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const app = await db.query.application.findFirst({ where: eq(application.refreshToken, token) });
if (!app?.autoDeploy) throw new Error('Enable auto-deploy first');

Try / catch

if (res.status === 400 && body.message.includes('disabled')) { await enableAutoDeploy(appId); retry(); }

Prevention

Check the autoDeploy toggle before wiring external CI
Include the flag in deployment checklists

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the deploy webhook while the application's 'Automatic Deploy' toggle is off in Dokploy settings.

Common situations: Someone disabled auto-deploy temporarily and forgot to re-enable; the app was recreated with autoDeploy defaulting to false; external CI still firing on every push.
