Contentful is a content management system (CMS) that allows developers to manage and deliver content across multiple platforms and devices.
The Contentful component allows managing spaces, environments, content types, entries, assets, organizations, webhooks, and bulk actions.
API Documentation
This component was built using the Contentful Content Management API Reference.
Connections
OAuth 2.0
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0
To connect to Contentful, create a new OAuth application.
Prerequisites
- A Contentful account with developer access
Setup Steps
- Navigate to the Developer Account Settings for OAuth applications
- Click Create New Application
- Enter the Redirect URI as
https://oauth2.flowbuilder.eu.lansweeper.com/callbackfor EU sites orhttps://oauth2.flowbuilder.us.lansweeper.com/callbackfor US sites - Select Confidential for the client type
- Select the applicable scope (e.g., Content management manage)
- Save the application
- Copy the Client ID and Client Secret
Important: Contentful only accepts a single scope per authorization request. The
content_management_managescope includes read access, so a separatecontent_management_readscope is not needed.
Available Scopes
| Scope | Description |

content_management_manage |
Manage and read content in all Spaces |
content_management_read |
Read content in all Spaces |
Configure the Connection

- Client ID: Enter the Client ID from the OAuth application
- Client Secret: Enter the Client Secret from the OAuth application
