When i run the below command i am getting “Unable to find command: deploy add” error in terminal.

Command : ionic deploy add --app-id=“51c98ce5” --channel-name=“Production” --update-method=“background”

Anyone can help me setup my app to deploy using IONIC Appflow? I have already connected my GitHub repository to app flow

Did you copy and paste that straight from appflow? If so - I had to paste it into a notepad first, delete some spaces and copy and paste it from there into the command line before it worked.

A little bit of trial and error and using [https://ionicframework.com/docs/appflow/deploy/api#plugin-variables](https://ionicframework.com/docs/appflow/deploy/api#plugin-variables), I got to the setup below and it worked.

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-ionic   
–variable APP\_ID=12345   
–variable CHANNEL\_NAME=Master  
–variable UPDATE\_METHOD=background
