Setup

Connect Contentful

Attach a Contentful space, sync schema, and scope what content should show up in Inverb.

1 min readUpdated Mar 21, 2026

Use Settings > Contentful to connect the project to a Contentful space.

Connection fields

The current setup expects:

  • Space ID
  • Environment ID
  • Preview token
  • Management token

Once those are saved, you can refresh schema and start working with synced content.

Refresh schema

After connecting, run schema refresh so Inverb can inspect the content model it should work against.

Do this again when:

  • new content types are added
  • fields change
  • locale configuration changes in Contentful

Top-level content types

Use the top-level content type selection to decide what should appear in the Content listing.

This is a practical scoping tool. It helps keep the main queue focused on the entry types your team actually localizes.

Publishing mode

The Contentful settings also include publishing mode.

  • all_locales: standard publish behavior for the entry
  • locale_based: intended for locale-scoped publishing flows

Choose the mode that matches how your Contentful environment handles publish actions. If your team relies on locale-specific publishing behavior, validate that end to end before turning on automation.

Good first check

After setup:

  1. Open the Content screen.
  2. Confirm expected entries appear.
  3. Open one entry and verify the source locale content is what you expect.
