Update a Contentful space name during onboarding

Keep onboarding related spaces aligned with approved naming standards.

Trigger

New User Created

Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.

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

Onboarding exceptions create small Contentful tasks that are easy to forget after the user is created.

  • Handle approved exceptions promptly
  • Use version-aware updates
  • Keep onboarding work visible

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Contentful in Notis once
  • 2Create an automation and name it
  • 3Tell Notis to update the identified space only when the event includes an approved replacement name, using the current version
  • 4Pick New User Created as the trigger
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one approved user event

Questions about this workflow

What happens without an approved replacement name?

Notis should report that no update was authorized and make no change.

Can it rename multiple spaces?

Only if the event and instruction clearly identify each space and approved name.
