# Automated deployment for reviews

The project level test and deploy code features will be deprecated in a later P4 Code Review release. We recommend you use test integration to automatically deploy code within a review. For more information, see Add a test.

Deploying code in a code review automatically involves enabling Automated Deployment in your project's configuration and providing a trigger URL. When the trigger URL is requested, P4 Code Review expects a deployment program to be executed.

When the deployment processing ends, P4 Code Review expects either a success callback URL or failure callback URL to be requested by your deployment program. These callback URLs should include a url parameter (either via GET or POST); when a valid-looking URL is included, clicking the deployment status indicator directs the user to the specified URL. This is intended to facilitate easy viewing of the successfully deployed review, or a report indicating why the deployment failed. The url parameter is mandatory for successful deployments, but is optional for failures.

1. Navigate to the project page.
2. Click the project Settings tab to display the Project Settings page.

4. Provide a URL that triggers your deployment execution.

   Special arguments are available to inform your deployment program of various details from P4 Code Review:
