Integrate Contentful with your tech stack

Flexibility to design your tech stack

You can use any combination of Contentful’s many integration services to build your tech stack how you want, the way you want. In contrast to monolithic suites, Contentful offers a more modular and custom tailored approach, and Contentful’s apps are decoupled from your content through an API—something that’s impossible with monolithic suites.

If you’ve ever used a legacy CMS, you may have worked with a monolithic suite—one product that tries to do it all. And when one monolithic suite couples together a variety of services it can lead to a very inflexible platform. 

Tools for extending, customizing, and integrating Contentful

Contentful offers a variety of tools for extending, customizing, and integrating Contentful with other services and platforms, including:

Webhooks

Custom HTTP callbacks sent to any third party system when data changes in Contentful.

Public apps

Available apps and open source app templates that you can customize (e.g. Marketplace, open source apps, and app packages).

Custom apps

Your own custom integrations to connect off-the-shelf or proprietary software (e.g. App Framework). These tools will help you be more flexible and responsive to change and allow you to evolve and adapt your tech stack without breaking your entire application.
