Users can generate and share a claim URL, which allows others to assume ownership of these deployments. This feature is particularly helpful for AI-generated deployments and facilitates the transfer of projects between different accounts with different owners. ## Related pages > **For AI agents:** Follow these links to understand how this page connects to the rest of the Vercel ecosystem.

These resources maintain their connections to the project, ensuring a seamless transition of both the deployment and its dependencies. The resource providers that currently support resource transfer are [Neon](https://vercel.com/marketplace/neon), [Supabase](https://vercel.com/marketplace/supabase), and [Prisma](https://vercel.com/marketplace/prisma). For more details on the transfer process, see [Resources with Claim Deployments flows](/docs/integrations/create-integration/marketplace-flows#resources-with-claim-deployments). ## Important endpoints - **Claim Deployments URL:** `https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?[...]` - **Initiate a project transfer request:** [POST /projects/:idOrName/transfer-request](/docs/rest-api/projects/create-project-transfer-request) - **Complete a project transfer:** [PUT /projects/transfer-request/:code](/docs/rest-api/projects/accept-project-transfer-request) - *This endpoint is not needed if you are using the Claim Deployments URL* ## Example use case: automated AI-generated deployment 1. **File upload:** The AI agent uploads the deployment files using the Vercel API: [POST /files](/docs/rest-api/deployments/upload-deployment-files). 2. **Deployment creation:** - Create a new deployment using the [Vercel CLI](/docs/cli/deploying-from-cli) - Or create a deployment with the Vercel API: [POST /files](/docs/rest-api/deployments/upload-deployment-files) followed by [POST /deployments](/docs/rest-api/deployments/create-a-new-deployment). 3. **Project transfer request:** - The agent initiates a transfer request with: [POST /projects/:idOrName/transfer-request](/docs/rest-api/projects/create-project-transfer-request). - This returns a `code` (valid for 24 hours) that allows the agent to transfer the project to another team, typically the end user who initiated the request. 4. **Generate claim URL:** - The agent generates a claim URL and shares it with the user: `https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=xxx&returnUrl=https://xxx` 5. **User claims the deployment:** - The user accesses the claim page using the URL and selects a team within their Vercel account to transfer the deployment. 6. **Project transfer completion:** - After the user clicks **Transfer**, the Vercel API ([PUT /projects/transfer-request/:code](/docs/rest-api/projects/accept-project-transfer-request)) completes the project transfer, assigning it to the user’s selected team. This step is not necessary if you are using the Claim Deployments Flow. Get started with [this template](https://github.com/vercel/claim-deployments-demo) of claiming deployments ([demo](https://claim-deployments-demo.vercel.app)). ## Team restructuring When reorganizing teams, you can easily transfer ownership of projects to another team using the Claim Deployments feature. ## Migrating personal projects to a company account Freelancers or employees can move deployments from their personal accounts to a company’s Vercel account by generating and sharing a claim URL. --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap)
