Update a Contentful space name from a task

Capture workspace naming requests where you already track the work.

Trigger

New Task Created

Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.

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

Small naming fixes linger when they require a separate handoff and admin session.

  • Capture naming requests in one place
  • Use the current Contentful version
  • Create an auditable report after the update

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Tasks and Contentful once in Notis.
  • 2Create a new automation with a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to read the requested name and space identifier from the task, fetch the current version, and update the space name.
  • 4Pick New Task Created as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real rename request.

Questions about this workflow

Why does the workflow fetch the current version?

Contentful requires the latest version number when a space name is updated.
