Contentful to Sanity Migration in Lincoln
Moving Lincoln organisations from Contentful to Sanity, where the body content is what needs work. The two platforms represent rich text as different structures — with embedded entries, links and marks arranged their own way — so article bodies have to be transformed rather than transferred, and that transformation is the migration.
Why this comes up
The problem
Rich text exported from Contentful arrives as a structure Sanity cannot interpret.
What you get
What we deliver
- Rich text converted between the two document structures, not copied across
- Embedded entries and assets within body content preserved through the conversion
- References between documents remapped, since identifiers change
- Content model translated to Sanity's schema definitions in code
- Assets migrated with their metadata rather than only their files
- Conversion verified on real content, because the difficult cases are in the archive

Contentful to Sanity Migration in Lincoln — common questions
- Why can rich text not simply be moved?
- Because the platforms model it differently. Both represent formatted content as structured data rather than markup, but the shapes disagree — so a converter has to be written and, more importantly, checked against the varied content that has accumulated over years.
- What happens to embedded entries?
- They need handling explicitly. Content with an embedded product card, callout or related article inside the body is the part conversions break on, and a migration tested only against plain paragraphs will appear to work until an editor opens something real.
- Do references survive?
- Only if remapped. Documents referencing each other by identifier need those identifiers translating as part of the migration, and a run that imports documents before their targets exist produces references pointing at nothing.
- How should the conversion be verified?
- Against the oldest and strangest content you have. Recent articles follow current conventions and convert cleanly, whereas the archive contains formatting decisions nobody remembers making — and those are exactly the pages that will be noticed if they arrive broken.
- Do you work with businesses across Lincolnshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Lincoln and the surrounding Lincolnshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Lincoln businesses do you usually work with?
- Agri-food traceability and processing systems, and engineering supply chain integration on long procurement timelines. Beyond that we work across Agriculture, Food Production, Engineering, Higher Education and Defence.
- Do you cover the areas around Lincoln?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Peterborough, Sheffield. Lincoln is an urban area of roughly 130,000+, and we take on work across the wider Lincolnshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
