Contentful and Salesforce: personalised content on every channel, from one place.
Contentful is a composable content platform that lets businesses create content once and deliver it across websites, apps and email. Salesforce agreed to acquire Contentful for around $1.5 billion. At the time of writing the deal had not closed.
What is Contentful, and why did Salesforce buy it?
Contentful stores content, text, images and product information, separately from where it is shown. The same content can then appear on your website, in your app and in your emails without being rebuilt for each one.
Salesforce says Contentful will become a native content layer within Customer 360, so Agentforce can assemble personalised content for each customer using their data and context.
