Installing Frosmo Segments for Contentful

Before you install the Frosmo Segments for Contentful app, make sure you have the following information available:

  • API token. This is your personal access token for the Graniitti API. The app needs the token for fetching segments from the Frosmo Platform. For instructions on how to get the token, see Graniitti API authentication. The token is valid for a limited period of time from the moment of creation.

    warning

    The token allows you to both read (get) and write (create, update, delete) data to and from the Frosmo database using the Graniitti API. Do not share the token with outside parties or parties you do not trust. In addition, since the token will be visible in the app settings in Contentful, make sure only trusted users have permission to access the settings.
