Contentstack is a headless content management system. It provides the infrastructure to create and manage content but it is not coupled to any single presentation layer. It also provides REST APIs to deliver content channels such as websites, mobile apps, devices, marketing kiosks or any digital platform that displays content. All translatable fields (e.g., either Text or Rich Text) are imported for localization unless the field is flagged as non-localizable in Contentstack.
Translatable media assets are also supported. To access assets, select as the when setting up the connector or as a folder to be monitored in APC. Target files are uploaded to locations defined in APC or CJ.
There are a number of use cases for the connector:
-
Project managers can add files directly to projects from an online repository.
-
Set up the submitter portal to allow Submitters to add files to requests directly from the online repository.
-
Use automated project creation (APC) to have new projects automatically created when a change in the last modified date is detected for monitored files or a folder.
-
Selected files are imported the very first time APC runs.
-
Note
Creating more than one connector per stack is not recommended as Contentstack API auth tokens are limited to 20 per stack. If this limit is breached, one of the stack connectors would stop working.
