If you are deploying a web application that uses Uniform capabilities to Netlify, it can be helpful to have easy access to the build status for your Netlify site. The Netlify integration for Uniform enables this.

## Create Netlify access token

In order for Uniform to be able to display build status details,
it must be able to make API calls to Netlify. This requires
Uniform have an access token.

1. In Netlify, navigate to [personal access tokens](https://app.netlify.com/user/applications?_ga=2.132429518.1950433579.1659047666-1085983306.1658930187#personal-access-tokens).
2. Click **New access token**.
3. Enter a description and click **Generate token**.
4. The access token is displayed. Note this value. You will need
   it when you add the Netlify integration to your Uniform project.

> **Next steps:**
