## About

Headless content management system with API-first content delivery for websites and apps

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria, verified in March 2026, when community testing found the marketing site loads but the login and sign-up pages return a regional unavailability error. The team contacted the company that same month; its support system sent only an automated acknowledgment, and the case remains under review with no resolution yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-15 — Company Responded. Contentful's support team responded to the unblocking request via an automated email from support@contentful.com. The response acknowledged receipt of the inquiry and assigned ticket #221260, indicating it is being reviewed by the support team. No timeline or specific action was provided. The response appears to be an automated acknowledgment rather than a human review.
- 2026-03-15 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Contentful's support team at support@contentful.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo on Syria, the removal of EU sanctions, and included supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources. This is the first outreach recorded for Contentful.
- 2026-03-15 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that Contentful's website (contentful.com) is accessible from Syria, but the service itself is restricted. Attempting to access the login page at be.contentful.com/login returns a JSON error response: {"sys": {"type": "Error", "id": "RateLimitExceeded"}, "message": "Sorry, our service is currently not available in your region"}. Sign-up is also blocked. The marketing site loads, but the CMS platform requiring authentication is region-locked.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
