Contentful
Add Contentful to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Contentful integration so your customers can work their own spaces, environments, content types, entries, and assets from inside your product, with governed agent access to the same content. Because every space models content differently, field and content type mapping is configuration per customer rather than code, so an unusual model does not need a release from you. fastn handles per-customer authorisation, token refresh, and API upkeep.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers read entries and assets from their own Contentful space into your product.
Create, update, and publish entries from your product so content changes happen where the work is.
Read content type definitions at runtime so your product renders each customer's own fields.
Trigger your product when an entry is published, unpublished, or archived.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reads entries from a space to ground an answer in the customer's own content.
An agent drafts a new entry or updates an existing one within governed permissions.
An agent reacts to a publish webhook and starts the next workflow step.
Example prompt
Find entries in this space with a missing SEO description and list them by content type.
Set up Contentful in 4 steps
- 01Open the Contentful connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their Contentful account and select spaces.
- 03Map the content types, environments, and fields your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Contentful integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Contentful integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Contentful account inside your product and work their files, documents and versions there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: permissions and versioning are easy to get subtly wrong, and mistakes expose content. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Contentful update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Contentful connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you let your product work with your customers' documents in place without wiring it twice.

AsanaContentful integration FAQ
How do I add a Contentful integration to my product?
Enable the Contentful connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Contentful account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Contentful client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Contentful account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Contentful account and only ever sees their own files, documents and versions. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Contentful integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads entries from a space to ground an answer in the customer's own content.
Who maintains the Contentful integration?
fastn does. When Contentful changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Whose permissions does the Contentful integration run under?
Each customer's own Contentful grant. Where Contentful holds a library, their existing folder and item permissions apply and your product cannot reach content the connected account could not reach itself. Where it processes content you supply rather than storing it, the call runs under that customer's own credentials and is logged per tenant.
Can my product create or update content in Contentful automatically?
Where Contentful supports writes, documents, entries and assets can be created, updated and filed from your product or by an agent within scoped permissions, with each action logged. Where it is a read surface, the same connection serves reads only.
What can I build with the Contentful integration?
A common starting point: read entries and assets from their own Contentful space into your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Contentful integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Contentful does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
