How to add a custom post deployment script to azure websites?

Question

My problem is that I need to run a custom cmd file after the build. Instead of modifying the deployment scripts I just want to run few MSDOS commands to my deployment easily

Answer 1

At the azure portal on the CONFIGURE tab of your website add a "app settings" entry called POST_DEPLOYMENT_ACTION with the value of source/copyextrafiles.cmd Save and the next deploy will run the cmd for you after the deploy.

An alternative in addition to the solutions already provided is to copy the script in to a specific folder provided for post deployment action hooks.

So after creating a new directory in "D:\home\site\deployments\tools\" named "PostDeploymentActions", you could just add script files (.bat, .cmd or .ps1) into the directory and they will all run, one by one, after each deployment.
