The Contentful connector syncs entries from a Contentful space — and a specific environment — into Frontic. Each entry becomes a record on a Content feed; the connector preserves Contentful’s
sys.id as the Source ID so updates land deterministically. Auth

Content entries
Connection settings
Your Contentful space ID — find it in Contentful under Settings → General settings.
A Content Delivery API token (read-only) for your space, with access to the environments you’ll connect.
Channels
A Contentful channel carries which translations the connector pulls per entry.A label for the channel in Frontic.
Contentful locale codes the connector pulls per entry.
The translation used when an entry field is missing in another locale.
Data Feeds
The Contentful connector exposes one feed type:| Feed | What it pulls |
|---|---|
| Content | Every entry in the configured space and environment, with the Source ID resolved from sys.id. |
Per-feed config
Which Contentful environment this feed reads from. Defaults to
master. Use this to point a feed at a sandbox/preview environment without changing the connection itself.Update methods
- Trigger — wire a Contentful webhook (Settings → Webhooks) to the feed’s inbound webhook URL to push changes in near-real-time.
- Polling — scheduled refresh.
What the data looks like
Source ID
Each record’s Source ID is taken from Contentful’ssys.id. References between entries (sys.type === "Link") come through on the raw payload — resolve them in your Data Sync if you want denormalized fields.
Assets
Contentful asset entries come through alongside content entries. If you want them on a dedicated storage, configure a separate feed and filter by content type at the Data Sync layer.Good to know
- Read-only via the connector. Edits happen in Contentful. The Ingest API path is for systems that supplement Contentful with extra records, not for editing entries.
- Reference resolution lives in the Data Sync. The connector emits entries with
Linkreferences intact; resolution into denormalized fields is your Value Composer’s job.
