You can set up CICD pipelines to update Vercel environment variables (via Vercel API) when a PR is created.

Doesn’t railway sync env vars with vercel?

I don't think there's native sync...? Nevermind 💀

This exists:

-# Thanks medim

Thanks I've already connected this 😊

The problem seems to be that the railway integration doesn't sync preview env vars to be branch specific.

Is there an example of this? I can't get seem to get mine working

Not sure. Sorry.

No worries I appreciate it!

What's the best way to get support from the team?

Here...

Is it Railway's API you're having trouble with?

I am now yes

to retrieve an env var for a preview environment via the api, I need a token.

but the tokens are per environment, so this wouldn't work because I'd need to generate them on demand

I may have found it under another page

nope that token doesn't work

Project tokens should use RAILWAY_TOKEN. Account/workspace tokens should use RAILWAY_API_TOKEN.

Tokens are not per-environment.

They are either account based or project based.

where do you find this?

Oh thats interesting tokens are now locked to environments…

Try using an account scoped token.

Go to account settings > tokens to create one.

(This is for CLI btw.)

does an account scoped token need to use RAILWAY_API_TOKEN?

Yes.

Where are the docs that say RAILWAY_API_TOKEN should be used?

Are you using the public API or the CLI?

the CLI

I found where it's documented

it's just not documented from where you create the account token

The docs point to this but say nothing about needing to use RAILWAY_API_TOKEN

Thanks for the help @pepper!

Honestly this whole process has been one of the most frustrating I've ever had with a vendor.

np

All good now? Going to mark this thread as solved if it is.

Let me provide the answer first for anyone else who bumps into this
