If you do not see the deployment you want to use, make sure it is active. You can check if it's active by navigating to https://abacus.ai/app/deploy_list/<your_project_id> . If the status is Suspended, click Re-Start on the Actions bar. It will take a few minutes to re-start, but once the Status is Active, you should see it in the Deployments drop-down.
