Slack

The app for Slack allows you to be notified in Slack about content changes happening in Contentful. When editors make changes to entries of a particular content type, this app can automatically post these updates to a channel in your Slack workspace.

This way, editors are notified when content is created, updated, deleted, or published.

The app provides the following functionality:

  • Be notified when entries are (un)published, deleted, and created.

  • Selection of one or more channels to be notified.

  • Can be used for several different content types and events at the same time.
