Deployment of matrix artifacts

I'm trying to figure out how to make two builds (from a matrix, each with a different API url in the environment), each deploy to their respective deployment environments;

environment:
  NODE_ENV: production
  matrix:
    - API_URL: https://PROJECTNAME-dev.azurewebsites.net/
    - API_URL: https://PROJECTNAME.azurewebsites.net/

install:
  - npm install

build_script:
  - npm run deploy

artifacts:
  - path: dist
    name: project-name

 deploy:
- provider: Environment
  name: PROJECTNAME-Dev
  application: project-name
  on:
    branch: master
- provider: Environment
  name: PROJECTNAME-Release
  application: project-name
  on:
    branch: release/*

Currently, I get two build artifacts as expected, but no way to deploy one to PROJECTNAME-Dev and the other to PROJECTNAME-Release. I know I could use $(API_URL) in the artifact name, but when that's a url it's not clean?

   Why would you need two build jobs for that?

   Am I correct to understand that you are trying to deploy to "dev" environment on any push to "master" branch and to "release" environment on "release/*" branch?

   Correct... but also, the environment variable is used in the build, to set a url into the artifact output (it's a ReactJS single page app being built with webpack, so the artifact is a bunch of js). The dev environment points to a dev API, and release to a live API - as static assets, we can't set these values at 'runtime' from the webserver.

   OK, then you can solve this problem with a little of PowerShell:

   environment:
     NODE_ENV: production
   
   install:
     - npm install
     - ps: |
         if($env:appveyor_repo_branch -eq 'master') {
           $env:API_URL = 'https://PROJECTNAME-dev.azurewebsites.net/'
         } else {
           $env:API_URL = 'https://PROJECTNAME.azurewebsites.net/'
         }
   
   build_script:
     - npm run deploy
   
   artifacts:
     - path: dist
       name: project-name
   
   deploy:
   - provider: Environment
     name: PROJECTNAME-Dev
     application: project-name
     on:
       branch: master
   - provider: Environment
     name: PROJECTNAME-Release
     application: project-name
     on:
       branch: release/*
