Rename a Contentful space after an account change

Keep a space name aligned with an account change by having Notis apply the approved new name using the latest space version.

Trigger

Account Created or Updated

Triggers when an Account is created or updated in Salesforce. Uses LastModifiedDate high-watermark to capture both creations and updates.

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

When an account is renamed, the related space label can lag behind and make it harder to find the right place for work.

  • Keep a specified space name aligned with account updates
  • Use the current version required by Contentful
  • Reduce a small but easy-to-miss cleanup task

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and Contentful once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis the approved Contentful space name to apply after the account changes, and instruct it to retrieve the current space version before updating.
  • 4Pick the Salesforce Account Created or Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real account change and confirm the intended space name is used.

Questions about this workflow

Can this rename a space automatically from the account name?

Only if the desired naming rule is clear and the relevant account name is available in the trigger context. State the rule in your instruction.

Can it change other space settings?

No. The available update action changes only the name and requires the current version.
