No — you will NOT need to do it again and again. You only need to fix it ONE TIME, correctly.

Right now the problem is simply this:

The Vercel project is connected under the wrong GitHub user.

Because you created the Vercel project, but the repo is owned by someone else → GitHub only sends push events for the owner, not contributors.

Once you connect it properly, everything will work automatically.

✅ Do this ONE TIME and it will work permanently

✔ The OWNER must:

1. Install the Vercel GitHub App (or reinstall)
2. Connect the repo from THEIR Vercel account, not yours

After the owner connects the repo to THEIR Vercel:

✔ All pushes from everyone will trigger auto-deploy

• Owner push → deploy
• Your push → deploy
• Contributors → deploy

✔ You don’t need to do anything again

No reconnect No reinstall No repeating

⭐ BEST FIX (PERMANENT & CORRECT)

Step 1 — Owner creates the Vercel project

Owner logs into their Vercel, clicks:

New Project → Import → Select the GitHub repo

Vercel automatically installs webhooks + permissions.

Step 2 — You become a Vercel collaborator

Owner adds you in:

Vercel → Project → Settings → Members → Add Member

Now you can deploy, but the repo is owned by the correct GitHub user.

🔥 Why this works forever

GitHub only sends webhooks to Vercel if:

• The Vercel project belongs to the same GitHub user or organization who owns the repo.

Right now that’s not true → that’s why contributors’ pushes don’t trigger.

📌 If you want, I can tell you EXACTLY who created the current Vercel project

Just send me a screenshot of:

Vercel → Project → Settings → Git

After that, I will give you the correct step based on your setup.
