We are excited to announce App Event Function!The feature is currently available in beta. You can request your access here.

App Event Functions are a new capability of the Contentful App Framework where development teams can use Functions (in multiple contexts) to execute serverless code on the Contentful platform, removing the need for dependence on external infrastructure.

App Event functions come in three flavors:

• Filter functions - designed to filter out unneeded app events.
• Transformation functions - designed to modify the structure of an app event before processing.
• Handler functions - allow apps to take action based on the received event.

All three functions also include access to an authenticated contentful-management.js client, allowing function code to read and write back into Contentful using the App Identity as needed. Check out examples here.
