What does an Engineer-led migration mean anyway?

Speed & Accuracy: Our Blended Method

We blend automation (smart scripts, bulk APIs) with human expertise for speed without risk. Our engineers manually check every mapping, validation, and exception.

You get:

  1. Speed of automation for bulk record migration
  2. Precision of engineers verifying integrity and business logic
  3. Pilot migrations and sandbox testing to catch issues early
  4. Real-time validation reports and rollback readiness
Result: 50x faster migrations than manual imports — with near-zero error rates.

Handling the Tricky Tech and API Details

The Contentful and Xperience by Kentico APIs each behave differently, which is where our engineers shine. We build custom logic to handle the data quirks where generic tools typically break.

We handcraft API logic for:

  1. Field mapping and transformation
  2. Pagination, rate-limit handling, and throttling
  3. Preserving content relationships, media, and revision history
  4. Syncing custom fields, taxonomies, and templates without breaking structure
Our scripts: Natively retry failed calls, re-queue large attachments, and ensure data parity.

No Guesswork

We don't just promise smooth migrations—we measure and prove them. Every client receives a Migration Validation Report with all metrics.

Typical results across projects:

  1. 100% record-count parity between your Contentful data and Xperience by Kentico
  2. Zero downtime during staged cutovers
  3. 99.9% attachment integrity (verified via checksum)
  4. Full automation and preservation of all business rules
Our standard: Includes full SEO and redirect preservation and 30 days of engineer-assigned support post go-live.

We Adapt to Your Setup (Not the Other Way Around)

No two teams configure Contentful or Xperience by Kentico exactly the same way—with unique content models and data. We customize every migration script to fit your exact workflow, taxonomies, and templates.

Our engineers adapt for:

  1. Custom fields, content types, and workflows
  2. Multi-site or multi-language setups
  3. Historical imports and partial (date-based) migrations
  4. Integration re-mapping for search, analytics, or forms tools
The promise: If your data doesn't fit a standard template, we build one just for you.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about migrating from Contentful to Xperience by Kentico. Can't find what you're looking for? Talk to our team.

What happens to my Contentful webhooks when I migrate to Xperience by Kentico?
Contentful webhooks have no native equivalent in Xperience by Kentico, so they cannot be lifted and shifted. ClonePartner exports all webhook definitions (endpoints, triggers, headers, secrets) to JSON for documentation, then creates a Custom Module in Xperience to store the configuration records. Outbound HTTP calls must be re-implemented using Xperience Global Event Handlers in C# or routed through middleware such as Azure Logic Apps — this is a rebuild effort on your team's side, not a data migration.
How do Contentful Tags migrate, and do I need to set anything up in Xperience by Kentico first?
Contentful Tags are flat labels; Xperience by Kentico requires them to sit inside named Taxonomy groups, so a direct import is not possible without preparation. Before migration, the target Taxonomy structure must be created in Xperience — either manually in the admin UI or via CI/CD serialization files — so ClonePartner has valid parent groups to map each tag into. Any tag that cannot be matched to an existing Taxonomy will stall unless a default group is agreed on during scoping.
Will my content be live in Xperience by Kentico immediately after migration, or do I need to publish it again?
Xperience by Kentico defaults all imported content items to Draft state; published or archived status from Contentful is not preserved during import. After the data lands, your team must publish items through the Xperience admin UI or via Management API calls — ClonePartner flags this during handover so you can plan a publish workflow before cutover. For large content sets, building a bulk-publish script in C# ahead of launch day is worth considering.
What happens to Contentful Environment Aliases during the migration?
Environment Aliases are a Contentful-specific DevOps concept with no counterpart in Xperience by Kentico; they are treated as infrastructure metadata, not migratable content. ClonePartner can preserve the alias definitions in a lightweight Custom Table in Xperience for audit or documentation purposes, but the functional equivalent — staged publishing and environment branching — must be re-implemented using Xperience's own CI/CD Continuous Integration module and separate DEV/STAGE/PROD database instances.
Do Rich Text fields with embedded entries migrate safely, and is there anything that can break silently?
Rich Text fields that embed other Contentful entries must be migrated in dependency order: the embedded entries must exist in Xperience before the fields that reference them are written, otherwise the references break silently with no import error. ClonePartner resolves the dependency graph before writing records to avoid this. Separately, circular references between content types — where Type A embeds Type B and Type B embeds Type A — can cause import failures and are identified during scoping so the structure can be flattened or sequenced correctly.
Does my Contentful version history or snapshot data come across to Xperience by Kentico?
No — only the current published state of each entry and asset can be migrated; Contentful snapshots and version history have no import path and are not carried over. If audit history matters for compliance, export and archive the snapshot data from Contentful before migration and store it externally, since it will not exist in Xperience after cutover. This is a hard platform limitation, not something ClonePartner can work around.
How long does the Contentful to Xperience by Kentico migration take?
Most migrations complete within 1–5 business days, depending on data volume and complexity. We provide a detailed timeline after the initial assessment and can often complete small migrations in under 24 hours.
Will my team lose access to Contentful during the migration?
No. Your source system remains fully operational throughout the entire migration. We run the migration in the background with zero downtime to your current operations.
Will there be downtime when migrating from Contentful to Xperience by Kentico?
No. Our migration process is designed for zero downtime. We use a staged approach with background sync and a fast cutover, ensuring no disruption to your live business operations.
How do I validate that everything migrated correctly?
Every client receives a Migration Validation Report with comprehensive metrics including record-count parity, attachment integrity verification via checksum, and full audit logs. We also offer unlimited sample migrations so you can verify before committing.
Do I need professional help for this migration?
While simple migrations can sometimes be handled in-house, professional help ensures zero data loss, proper field mapping, and preservation of relationships between records. Our engineer-led approach catches edge cases that automated tools miss.
Does ClonePartner provide guidance before committing?
Yes. We provide a free consultation and assessment. We'll review your data structure, discuss your requirements, and provide a detailed migration plan and fixed-price quote before you commit to anything.
