What is Contentful?
Contentful is a cloud-based headless content management platform that stores content as structured data and delivers it through APIs to websites, mobile apps, and other digital channels.

In June 2026 Salesforce signed a definitive agreement to acquire Contentful, with the deal expected to close later that year.
