Contentful Integrates Optimizely Tool For Simplified Content Experimentation

Published: October 14, 2019

Contentful, an enterprise back-end CMS platform, unveiled an integration with customer experience optimization company Optimizely. The integration aims to help users test content effectiveness and optimize for conversions without leaving Contentful’s web app.

FEATURES/FUNCTIONALITY

By not having to leave the Contentful platform to run content experiments, users gain a unique advantage in terms of speed, agility and flexibility of the types of content they can deliver. The Optimizely app removes hurdles by integrating the two products so users can focus on content versus configuration.

The application minimizes slowdowns caused by content switching and mistakes from manual copying. It also adds context variations to reference fields, assigns variations to experiments and monitors experimentation status.

TARGETED USERS

Together, Contentful and Optimizely enable editors and content managers to run experiments on content without having to ask for code changes, enabling workflow.
