Frequently asked questions

Does Indexa use the Contentful CMA or CDA?▾

Indexa uses the Content Management API (CMA) with write permissions to create and publish Entries. The Content Delivery API (CDA) is read-only and not used for publishing.

Does Indexa generate Contentful Rich Text format?▾

Yes. Indexa generates proper Contentful Rich Text node trees (document → paragraph → text nodes) rather than raw HTML, ensuring perfect rendering in your frontend.

Can Indexa publish to multiple Contentful environments?▾

Yes. You specify the target Environment ID in Indexa. Common setups include publishing to a "staging" environment for review before promoting to "master".

Does Indexa support Contentful's scheduled publishing?▾

Indexa has its own scheduling system. It can publish Entries as drafts on Contentful and then trigger publication at the scheduled time, or you can use Contentful's own Scheduled Publishing feature.
