Comments API Endpoints and Webhooks for Comments

We have a new release that we think is worth commenting on...

Contentful CMA (Content Management API) now includes Comments

Contentful’s Comments API, allows organizations to distribute key editorial information for their editorial teams using comments to ensure they can work quickly and avoid communications problems.

You can find more details in our developer documentation.

Contentful webhooks also now support events for Comments.

These new event topics help Contentful developers to manage automations at scale.

Webhooks can be accessed from the webhook configuration page in any Contentful space (/spaces/[space-id]/settings/webhooks).

To learn more about our new webhooks and how to use them in your content delivery workflows, feel free to visit our Help Center article.

Use cases for the new API and Webhooks include:

  • Automatically add comments to a content entry from other applications, ensuring consistent information communication
  • Notify digital teams when a comment is created or deleted in the apps they normally use to communicate, eg. Slack or Teams
  • Trigger actions in other apps based on comments events, such as copying a comment, updating a status, etc.
  • Use comments events in your app by leveraging app events

Both the API endpoint and webhooks are now avaiable to Contentful users on all tiers.
