Adding a domain via API requires redeploy

[okjake]

Question

When I add a domain to a project via the API I end up in this state:

No deployment
Your domain was not yet assigned to the latest commit on your Git Branch. To assign it, please push a new commit to the <branch name> Git Branch.

I have a deploy hook set up to trigger a redeploy which is working as expected but I'm wondering if there's a better way.

• Is it possible to replicate the behaviour of the dashboard via the API? ie. apply the new domain to the current deployment straight away?
• If not is there a recommended way to redeploy the current build with the new settings, without running a full build step?

Thanks!

Looks like this isn't relevant on the production branch, so all good. I couldn't find anything about this in the docs FWIW but happy that it's working well :)
