Contentful to Sisense Integration

How Datrise loads Contentful into Sisense

Datrise syncs Contentful's entries, content types, assets, spaces, locales, and publish events into Sisense as modeled tables for a Sisense ElastiCube (or live connection). Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns for the cube, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as date/time fields.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental ElastiCube builds on changed rows, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned facts to speed cube builds. ElastiCube is an in-memory model, so Datrise lands incremental, build-friendly tables rather than forcing full rebuilds.

Ideal for embedded analytics on an in-memory engine.

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Contentful's custom fields in Sisense?

Flexible values are stored as flattened columns for the cube, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Sisense types.

How does the Contentful to Sisense sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses incremental ElastiCube builds on changed rows.
