Publish Entry
contentful.publish_entry
ActionBusiness appsconnection required
Calls the Contentful API with the connection's credentials.
Publish an entry at a known version so the delivery API serves it.
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, 2 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
entry_id The id of the entry to act on. | 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 |
|---|---|---|
sys.id The entry id. | string | — |
sys.type The entity type, which is 'Entry'. | string | — |
sys.version The entry's version after this call. | number | — |
sys.contentType.sys.id The id of the entry's content type. | string | — |
sys.createdAt When the entry was created, as an ISO 8601 timestamp. | string | — |
sys.updatedAt When the entry last changed, as an ISO 8601 timestamp. | string | — |
fields The entry's field values, keyed by field id and then by locale. | object | — |
sys.publishedVersion The entry version that is now published. | number | — |
sys.publishedAt When the entry was published, as an ISO 8601 timestamp. | string | — |

}Notes
- The 'version' is the entity's current sys.version — read it from the entry, asset, content type or locale first; Contentful answers 409 when the version is not the latest.
See Publish Entry 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.
