Schedule a Contentful space name update

For a planned naming change, Notis can retrieve the latest space version and apply the new name you specify on your chosen schedule.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Update space

Updates the name of a specific space. notes: - the version number is required to ensure you're updating the latest version of the space. - you can get the current version from the sys.version field when fetching space details. - only the name of the space can be updated.

Why this helps

A planned workspace rename can fall through when it depends on someone remembering to return to Contentful and make the change.

  • Put a planned space rename on a schedule
  • Use the latest space version for the update
  • Receive a run report when the workflow executes

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Contentful once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Scheduled Contentful Space Name Update.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the current version of the space id you provide, then update only its name to the specified value.
  • 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real run and a space you are authorized to rename.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow update other space settings?

No. The allowed update action changes only the space name.

Why does the workflow retrieve the space first?

Contentful requires the current version number for an update. The space details include the sys.version value needed for that version check.
