WP Buildhook Deploy ("LittleBot Netlify")
This plugin was formerly know as "LittleBot Netlify". It was renamed to avoid confusion as it can be used to trigger build hooks at, say, AWS Amplify, GitHub or any service that provides a WebHook – not just Netlify.
Connect your WordPress website to Netlify (or any service that provides a buildhook) by triggering stage and or production build hooks on post save and or update. This plugin is not tied to Netlify, you can connect other CI systems with webhooks enabled like CircleCI, Travis, AWS Amplify, etc.

Q & A
Q Do you need two sites at Netlify?
A No. This plugin will call your build hook and build your Gatsby (or whatever) site no matter what. The starter mentioned above facilitates a two environment Gatsby set up but other than that, this plugin is totally front end agnostic and you could just as easy trigger one build hook by only adding one build hook URL.
Q Does this plugin support Gutenberg?
A This plugin supports both GutenLOVERS and GutenHATERS. How? It supports Gutenberg as that is what the WordPress editing experience is now. Don't like Gutenberg? This plugin also supports the Classic Editor.
Q Can I use this plugin with other similar system to Netlify like for example AWS Amplify?
A YES. You can use a CI like Amplify, Circle, Travis etc. Depending on what you are trying to do, the plugin may still work as it just calls a webhook URL with some logic around various publishing hooks.
