Get a Contentful space reference for each deployment

When a GitHub deployment is created, receive a current list of accessible Contentful spaces alongside the run report.

Trigger

New Deployment Created

Triggers when a new deployment is created in a GitHub repository. Fires an event for each newly created deployment detected in the configured repository. Deployments can optionally be filtered by target environment. The payload includes the deployment ID, commit SHA, ref, task, environment, creator details, and timestamps.

Action

List spaces

Lists all spaces that the authenticated user has access to in contentful. this is a fundamental operation needed before performing any other content management actions since most operations require a space id.

Why this helps

Deployment work can involve switching between repository activity and Contentful just to check which spaces are available.

  • See accessible Contentful spaces when a deployment is created
  • Keep the deployment event and space reference in one report
  • Avoid a separate Contentful lookup for a basic access check

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Contentful once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list accessible Contentful spaces when a new GitHub deployment is created and include the results in its run report.
  • 4Pick the new deployment created trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real deployment event and review the report.
