Documented steps
Copy the deploy hook URL from the service's Settings tab in the Render Dashboard. The URL embeds a secret key — treat it as a credential (https://render.com/docs/deploy-hooks).
Send a plain GET or POST to the hook URL — no special headers required. Other methods (PUT/DELETE) return 405 (https://render.com/docs/deploy-hooks).
Optional query params: `ref=<commit SHA>` deploys a specific commit (404 if the commit doesn't exist); `imgURL=<image>` for image-backed services deploys a specific tag/digest — everything in imgURL besides the tag/digest must match the service's default image URL (https://render.com/docs/deploy-hooks).
200 returns a deploy ID you can track; 202 means another deploy is already queued (https://render.com/docs/deploy-hooks).
Known gotchas
You cannot select a different branch via the hook — no branch query param exists (https://render.com/docs/deploy-hooks).
Image-backed services do NOT auto-deploy on registry pushes; call the hook with imgURL to ship new images (https://render.com/docs/deploy-hooks).
401 = invalid hook key, 409 = service suspended. If the URL leaks, regenerate it in the Dashboard immediately (https://render.com/docs/deploy-hooks).
