Creating Neon branches using Vercel integration
I created a Pull Request, and can see a preview branch was created in Neon.
However, I can't see the Neon branch URL in the Pull Request comments.
I thought the Vercel integration was supposed to add the comment automatically 🤔

Do you mean the database connection string? We wouldn't add that for security reasons.
We do have an example repository that uses our GitHub Actions to mimic the Vercel intgeration's behaviour, with some added flexbility. This does add a comment with URL to the Neon console for the specific branch: https://github.com/neondatabase/preview-branches-with-vercel

sorry, I meant the Neon console URL.
Any reason why the Vercel integration can't create such comment?

I think because it's not connected directly to your GitHub. It's using Vercel data. I think we'd need to somehow post the comment via the Vercel permissions against the repo.
I'll run it by Mike our PM. We do have a GitHub integration in the works that could potentially handle some of this.
