Deploy care flows to any of Awell's default environments, **sandbox** or **production**, or to a custom
environment, directly from a CI/CD pipeline.

Through [Source Control](/docs/data/source-control), the same pipeline that ships the application can
promote a care flow.

## When a pipeline beats clicking publish [#when-a-pipeline-beats-clicking-publish]

* Care flow releases should follow the same process as code releases.
* Deployment should be an automated, auditable step rather than someone clicking publish.
* The target is a custom environment that isn't Awell's sandbox or production.

To promote by hand instead, see
[Sandbox to production promotion](/docs/design-care-flows/sandbox-production-promotion).

> **The mechanics of wiring this into a pipeline aren't documented yet.** For help setting it up, email
