## TL;DR

When an agent provisions Tinybird ingestion, define APPEND tokens in the.datasource file and deploy with tb deploy instead of hand-creating tokens in the UI: the token is created for you and tb token ls retrieves it for the webhook config.

## Steps

1. When an agent provisions Tinybird ingestion, define APPEND tokens in the .datasource file and deploy with tb deploy instead of hand-creating tokens in the UI: the token is created for you and tb token ls retrieves it for the webhook config. Preconfigure the schema in the datafile when you need raw JSON preserved; inferred schemas from first events are a common source of type surprises later.

## When to use

You are seeing this: Fetch the value afterwards with tb token ls. Use this skill when you run into "Tinybird APPEND tokens are declared in datafiles, created on deploy".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
