Summary

This guide outlines the process of migrating content from Drupal 7 to Contentful, a headless CMS. The migration involves several steps, including a content audit to understand the existing content, creating a new content model with stakeholders, and exporting data using Drupal views and PHP scripts. The exported data is then imported into Contentful using its CLI. The guide also discusses how to handle fields like HTML and CSS, which can be converted using Turndown, and provides tips on avoiding common pitfalls during the migration process. It emphasizes the importance of planning and validation before starting the migration.
