App Identities and Events are now generally available. Apps can now function without a logged-in user or UI component, enabling numerous asynchronous workflows.

App Identities allow an app to request an access token and use it to interact with Contentful. This allows apps to call the Content Management API without using a user-scoped API key.

App Events are similar to webhooks, but are scoped to an app and the environment it's installed into. These are automatically created on app installation and removed on uninstallation, reducing any configuration time.

Try out App Identities and Events by following our new guide, where we’ll walk you through building an app that leverages these new additions to the App Framework.

Both these features are available for all customers (excluding those on legacy pricing plans).
