Bulk Publish
contentful.bulk_publish
ActionBusiness appsconnection required
Calls the Contentful API with the connection's credentials.
Queue a bulk publish of many entries or assets and return the job id and status rather than a verdict.
Connection
- Required
- Yes — the node will not save without one
- Auth type
- Bearer token
- Providers
- Contentful
- Secret shape
- the CMA access token, or {"access_token": "…"}
- Config it needs
- space_id, environment_id, base_url
- Resolved by
- config.connection_id, else node.connection_id
Configuration
4 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
entity_ids The entry or asset ids to publish, as a JSON array or a comma-separated list. | array | Yes | — | ≥ 1 characters; array of string | — |
entity_type Whether the ids name entries or assets. | string | No | Entry | one of "Entry", "Asset" | — |
space_id The space to act on. Leave blank to use the connection's space. | string | No | — | — | — |
environment_id The environment to act on. Leave blank to use the connection's environment, or 'master'. | string | No | — | — | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"entity_type": "Entry"
}Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
bulk_action_id The bulk action's id, to poll with get_bulk_action. | string | — |
status created, inProgress, succeeded or failed. | string | — |
action The action the job performs: publish or unpublish. | string | — |
completed False while the job is still created or inProgress. | boolean | — |
succeeded True only once the job reached the succeeded state. | boolean | — |
error Contentful's per-entity error detail when the job failed. | object | — |
entity_ids The ids the job covers. | array | — |
entity_count How many entities the job covers. | number | — |
space_id The space the job runs in. | string | — |
environment_id The environment the job runs in. | string | — |

}Notes
- Publishing links each entity at a version, so this node reads each id's current sys.version first — one extra GET per id.
- The job is queued, not finished: poll contentful.get_bulk_action until 'completed' is true, then read 'succeeded' and 'error'.
See Bulk Publish run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Contentful connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
