Trigger builds in response to content changes

Remote SSG builds can be triggered on Netlify or Vercel using webhooks. This setup is common when using a project with a third-party SSG like Gatsby.js or Next.js. It allows editors to save data and automatically trigger a build on Netlify or Vercel to publish the updated site. If a project is using the Ship SSG the build is handled automatically and a "Static Site" is configured instead.
