Prepare Contentful authorization for deal research
Start a research request by retrieving the Contentful CMA token needed for authorized management API calls.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get CMA Token
Retrieves an access token for content management.
Why this helps
A deal research workflow can stall when it cannot obtain the Contentful authorization needed for its next step.
- Retrieves a CMA access token when a research request begins.
- Keeps authorization retrieval tied to an explicit workflow run.
- Can support an authorized downstream CMA call.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it Contentful Access Check.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve a Contentful CMA token for the submitted Affinity research request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the token retrieval action succeeds.
Questions about this workflow
Does retrieving the token query content?
No. This action retrieves a Contentful Management API access token. It does not execute a GraphQL query.
Does this update an Affinity record?
No. The workflow uses an Affinity-related request as its context and retrieves a Contentful token.
