Generate a Personal Access Token

Personal Access Tokens (PATs) authenticate against the Contentful Content Management API.
The token inherits the permissions of the user who creates it and starts with CFPAT-.

1

Navigate to CMA tokens

Sign in to your Contentful account. Click your profile
avatar in the top-right corner, select Account settings, then click CMA tokens
in the top navigation.

2

Create a new token

Click Create personal access token (top right of the CMA tokens page).

3

Fill in the token details and generate

Enter a descriptive Token name (e.g., StackOne) and choose an Expiration date
(default: 30 days). Click Generate.

  • Token name: Enter a descriptive name — e.g., StackOne.
  • Expiration date: Required — defaults to 30 days. Adjust to match your integration’s needs.
  • Click Generate.
4

Copy the token immediately

Contentful displays the token only once. Click Copy to clipboard and store it securely —
you will need it for the Personal Access Token field in StackOne.

  • Click the copy icon next to the token value.
  • Store the token securely — it starts with CFPAT- and cannot be retrieved again.

​
Find your Space ID

Space IDs are passed as an input parameter on each space-scoped CMS action call
(entries, assets, content types). For webhook event delivery, enter one or more
space IDs in the Webhook Space IDs field (comma-separated).

1

Open Space General settings

From inside any space, click the Settings gear icon in the top-right navigation bar
and select General settings under the Space settings section.

  • Click the Settings menu (gear icon, top-right of the space navigation bar).
  • Under Space settings, click General settings.
  • Copy the value shown in the Space ID field. It is a 12-character alphanumeric string (e.g., abc123xyz789). Use this value as the space_id input when calling CMS actions, or paste it into Webhook Space IDs for webhook event delivery.
