Process Asset File
contentful.process_asset
ActionBusiness appsconnection required
Calls the Contentful API with the connection's credentials.
Ask Contentful to fetch and process an asset's file for one locale, which it does asynchronously.
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
5 fields, 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
asset_id The id of the asset to act on. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
locale The locale code whose file should be processed, such as 'en-US'. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
version The entity's current sys.version. Contentful refuses the write when it is stale. | number | Yes | — | ≥ 1 | — |
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 | — | — | — |
Output
One shape.

| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
asset_id The asset whose file is being processed. | string | — |
locale The locale whose file is being processed. | string | — |
status Always 'processing'; Contentful answers 204. | string | — |
processed Always false here — the file is not ready when the call returns. | boolean | — |
poll_with The node type to poll for the finished file. | string | — |
space_id The space the asset lives in. | string | — |
environment_id The environment the asset lives in. | string | — |

}Notes
- Contentful returns 204 and processes the file afterwards, so this node reports the request as accepted, not the file as ready. Poll contentful.get_asset until fields.file.<locale>.url is set.
See Process Asset File 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.
