Contentful : Install & use our Application

This guide walks you through installing and configuring the AB Tasty app on the Contentful Marketplace. It explains how to connect your Contentful space with AB Tasty so you can:

• Add variation containers inside entries,

• Link them with AB Tasty campaigns,

• And run experiments directly on your content.

👉 If you’re looking for general information about Contentful and AB Tasty’s compatibility, see the Contentful: General Info 👉 To access the app directly, go to the Contentful Marketplace (link to be replaced with the public URL). --

Prerequisites:

• A Contentful account with a dedicated space for your website.

• An AB Tasty account with a Feature Experimentation project available

• You have configured your website so you can use AB Tasty SDK to serve the right variation

You can work with the app in two different ways, depending on your workflow:

• Create new AB Tasty Containers: Add a fresh container each time you want to set up a new experiment or variation flow.

• Enrich existing entries: Insert a Variation Container directly into an existing entry. This container will host the campaign’s variations and map them to your entry’s reference fields, allowing you to test different content versions without duplicating your entry.
