What can you do with Contentful on Tray.ai?
Contentful is a headless content management system where teams model structured content, store entries and media, and deliver them to websites and apps through APIs. Tray.ai connects to Contentful through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Contentful API alongside the rest of your stack.
- When Contentful sends “Entry published”, clear the matching pages from your CDN cache so the new content shows.
- When Contentful sends “Entry unpublished”, remove the page from your site search index.
- Create an entry for each product added to your product information system.
- Publish an entry once legal signs it off in your review tracker.
- Connects through
- HTTP Connector
- Authentication
- A bearer token or OAuth 2.0
Set it up
Connect Contentful to Tray.ai
Each step uses Contentful's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save Contentful's API token
Save the token Contentful issues as a Tray.ai authentication. The HTTP Client sends it as a bearer token on every call. The token stays out of the workflow and out of the logs.
Step 2
Import a request from Contentful's docs
Add an HTTP Client step and paste a cURL example from Contentful's API docs. Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and query.
Step 3
Start with “Get all entries”
It's one of 24 documented actions, under Entries. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Start workflows from Contentful events
Give Contentful the URL of a Tray.ai webhook trigger. “Entry published” can then start a workflow, and so can 5 other events.
