Contentful is where your editors and developers build structured content; Slack is where they discuss it. FlowMattic sends Contentful's changes to the people they affect: published entries to the editorial channel, new images to design, comments and tasks to reviewers, content model edits to developers. Everyone hears about the change that concerns them without watching the Contentful activity log.

1. TriggerAsset2. ActionSend Channel MessageWhen Contentful fires Asset, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateWhen an editor uploads an image or file, the design team sees its title and link in Slack and can check crops, alt text and licensing before it goes live.

View the template The Entry trigger runs on saves and autosaves too. A Filter keeps only publish events, so the channel hears about an article or product page once, when readers can see it.

A published change to a content type can break the front end that reads it. Developers get a message in their private channel with the content type's name before the next build fails.

Tasks created on entries are often requests for a fact check or a legal read. Posting them to the reviewers' channel means they are picked up without a separate ticket.

Comments left inside Contentful are easy to miss. Each new comment posts to the content channel with the entry it belongs to, so the author answers it the same day.

When a release is created or saved, the launch channel's topic changes to its name and Slack posts what is in it, so the whole team knows which bundle of content ships next.

By the end, each asset added to your Contentful space posts to the design channel with its title and a link to it.
In FlowMattic's Connects, add a Slack account that has joined the design channel.
Create a workflow with the Contentful Asset trigger and follow its instructions to link the space you want to watch.
Add an image to the space in Contentful, so the workflow captures an asset event with its fields.
Add Send Channel Message, choose the design channel and map the asset title, file name and link. Test it and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Contentful and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Editors, designers, reviewers and developers get the Contentful events that concern them in their own channels, not one noisy feed.
Work requested inside Contentful shows up where people reply quickly, so reviews do not stall while an entry waits.
FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site with unlimited runs, so autosave-heavy spaces cost no more than quiet ones.
Create a FlowMattic workflow with a Contentful trigger such as Entry or Asset, then add Slack's Send Channel Message. Make a test change in Contentful so the fields are captured, map them into the text, test the step and switch it on.
Add a Filter after the trigger that passes only the event type you care about, for example publish. Autosave and save events then stop at the Filter and nothing is posted.
Yes. Put a Router after the Entry trigger with a path for each content type, such as blog posts, product pages and help articles, each with its own Send Channel Message.
Yes. Template Installation runs when installing a Contentful template is complete. Post it to the developers' channel so they know the new content types are ready to use.
