Linking to Backend

[gideongrinberg]

So this is probably a stupid question, but I'm trying to deploy this application so I can use it and make some changes. I've deployed my backend to Heroku by following the instructions in the backend repo. I've deployed my frontend to Vercel (formerly ZEIT Now). How do I link the two? Is that what the endpoint env vars are for? The Heroku URL just shows the GraphQL IDE, which I assume is correct.

Thanks in advance,
