Build and deploy a CRM connector

Once you have developed your connector for a CRM, it is time to try it out. To do that, you will need to deploy your connector's server to a publicly accessible server

Deploying server to AWS

Technically your connector's server could be deployed anywhere. You could host it yourself, or deploy it to a third-party like Heroku or AWS. To assist developers, we have provided a serverless config file for AWS deployment under the serverless-deploy.

Customize your environment

cd rc-unified-crm-extension/serverless-deploy
cp sample.env.yml env.yml

Then edit env.yml.

Customize your serverless deploy config
```
cp sample.serverless.yml serverless.yml
```
Then edit serverless.yml

Build and deploy the server

npm run serverless-build
npm run serverless-deploy

Deploying to another platform

If you want to deploy it to other platform. Run npm run build-local and a build folder will be created for you in the build folder. You can then deploy this build folder to any other hosting provider.
