Sync code-first workflows between environments
Hey everyone, I’m running into an issue with syncing environments in Novu.
I initially set up a new Novu project using the development environment key. Now, I’m trying to sync changes to the Production environment.
When I try using the CLI (with the production key and the production bridge URL in the command), I get this error:
Signature does not match the expected signature. Please ensure the signature provided in the 'novu-signature' header is correct and try again.
Additionally, Novu Studio seems to have cached the development environment key, and I can’t sync from Studio (local) either. Even after updating the environment file to use the production key, it looks like Studio still holds onto the old dev key somewhere.
How can I sync changes between environments locally — and is there a way to clear Novu’s cache (for both the CLI and Studio) to reset the environment keys properly?
Thanks in advance! 🙌7 Replies

Did you restart the servr after updating the secret key in env file?
To sync the workflows using CLI, you need to use --secret-key value. Are you sure you are you are using correct secret key?
Hey @Pawan Jain
Sure, I restarted the server.
When using the CLI, I’m in the root bridge project, and the key is correct — it’s from the production environment.
npx novu@latest sync \
--bridge-url {url} \
--secret-key {key} \
--api-url https://eu.api.novu.co
If I specify the secret key from the development environment, it syncs and updates the bridge URL to development. However, production is not syncing.@Gurami
I will check it from my end and update you
@Pawan Jain Thank you 🙏
@Pawan Jain Update: I specified my local Studio URL as my tunnel URL, and then it synced changes to production (using the CLI with the production key). Development doesn’t require that tunnel update — it only needs the private key.
@Gurami, you just advanced to level 1!
@Gurami
Thanks for the update. Any specific reason you were using locla studion to sync to production environment?
Its in active development and I was just experimenting.
