Contentful
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.

Resources
Content entries
The Contentful connector follows the standard integration model — see how integrations work for Connection, Channels, and Data Feeds. This page covers the Contentful-specific configuration.

Connection settings

Space ID
string
required
Your Contentful space ID — find it in Contentful under Settings → General settings.
Access Token
string
required
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.
Channel Name
string
required
A label for the channel in Frontic.
Available Translations
multiselect
required
Contentful locale codes the connector pulls per entry.
Fallback Translation
select
required
The translation used when an entry field is missing in another locale.

Data Feeds

The Contentful connector exposes one feed type:
FeedWhat it pulls
ContentEvery entry in the configured space and environment, with the Source ID resolved from sys.id.
The standard Settings → Updates → Schema setup wizard applies — see Data Feeds in the overview. For Contentful specifically:

Per-feed config

Environment
string
default:"master"
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.
The connector does not expose a manual feed Refresh — use Polling or trigger a webhook from Contentful to backfill.

What the data looks like

Source ID

Each record’s Source ID is taken from Contentful’s sys.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 Link references intact; resolution into denormalized fields is your Value Composer’s job.
