We are excited to share an improvement to our Contentful integration that makes your automated localization workflows even more robust.

### The Problem: The “Missing Asset” Gap

Previously, the automatic import focused primarily on **Entries**. If you updated an Asset but didn’t update the Entry it was attached to, the Asset wouldn’t trigger a new import into Transifex.

### What’s New: Full Automation for Entries & Assets

We’ve updated the logic of the **“Automatic import of newly/updated published content”** settings.

Now, when these settings are enabled:

- **Standalone Asset Sync:** If an Asset is **published** in Contentful but hasn’t been added to an Entry yet, Transifex will detect and import it automatically.
- **Independent Asset Updates:** If you update an existing Asset that belongs to one or more Entries—even if the Entries themselves remain unchanged—the updated Asset will be triggered for import.
- **Unified Logic:** You no longer need to “touch” an Entry just to get its associated Assets to sync to Transifex.

### How it works

There is no new button to click! If you already have **Automatic Import** enabled in your Contentful integration settings, this behavior is now active.

1. **Publish in Contentful:** Whether it’s a new Entry or just a stand-alone Asset.
2. **Automatic Detection:** Transifex scans for the “Published” status across both content types.
3. **Instant Localization:** The content (and now all associated media assets) appears in your project for translation immediately.

### What this enables

- **Complete Context:** Translators get access to updated media files the moment they are ready, not just when the text changes.
- **Reduced Manual Work:** Eliminate the need to manually “Pull” assets or re-save Entries in Contentful just to trigger a sync.
