Content workflow and wordpress plugin

A potential client is looking in to using bynder, and i have been asked to look at the plugin for content workflow and see if its viable for there current website. And have a couple of question, and hopefully someone could shed some light on them for me please.As all the content ( posts )is currently on the site, is there a way to import all this into bynder on initial set up?With the ACF field selection the plugin offers, will this work if field groups have been created pragmatically in code( PHP )? ie acf_add_local_field_group or do they have to be created in the UI of ACF.Any help would be greatly receivedMany Thanks

Enhancing Bynder Version Control with Detailed Usage Analytics

Currently, when an asset in Bynder is updated with new versions, the data continues from version 1 to the final version, offering a consolidated view of asset performance. However, it would be beneficial to track usage of each version and then overall asset performace. This would allow for deeper insights into which versions perform best, how changes impact engagement, and whether specific updates influence asset adoption. Implementing version-specific tracking alongside aggregated asset analytics could improve decision-making around content optimization and lifecycle management.Share your thoughts on this.

Assistance Required: Handling Metadata in Workflow for Specific Assets

Hi Team,Good day!I have a question regarding workflow and its related metadata properties based on a scenario I encountered while working on a project.Scenario Details:A new workflow job has been created, specific to one request. The job involves two assets: Asset 1: Front (view of the front page). Asset 2: Back (view of the back page). Metadata properties: Count 5: Common metadata properties for both assets. Count 3: Metadata properties with different values for each asset (e.g., color). Challenge:I understand the limitation where metadata properties in a workflow job are applied uniformly to all assets. When assets are sent to the "Assets" space in Bynder, the same metadata values are assigned to both assets, making it impossible to differentiate values for shared metadata properties within the same job.Request:I’d like to explore alternative approaches to meet this requirement, such as:Modifications or configurations within the current workflow to allow different metadata values

Webhooks example

Can someone share with me a real life example of how webhooks is used? The documentation seems like you can send an alert to a system about assets being uploaded, but you can’t send alerts about specific assets? Thank you

How common are custom CDNs?

Your portal needs to be set up with a custom CDN in order to use the Universal Compact View component, as noted here:https://support.bynder.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013871340-Quick-Start-Guide-for-Universal-Compact-ViewHow common is it for customers to use a custom CDN?Is there an issue with the default CDN (Bynder’s AWS Cloudfront) that would prevent Universal Compact View from functioning?thank you

Bynder with Strapi CMS Integartion

Hi Bynder Community,I’m exploring ways to streamline content and asset management workflows by integrating Bynder with Strapi CMS, a popular headless CMS known for its flexibility and developer-friendly approach.Before diving into custom development or third-party solutions, I wanted to ask:Does Bynder offer any out-of-the-box integration with Strapi CMS? If yes, could you provide details about the plugin or connector, including features, installation steps, and configuration? If no official integration exists, are there any recommended best practices, APIs, or community-built tools for connecting Bynder’s digital asset management (DAM) with Strapi?Any guidance, documentation, or insights on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone want a FirstUp integration?

My organization uses an internal employee communications platform called FirstUp. (Firstup: The First Intelligent Communication Platform) I don’t see a Bynder integration for it. Anyone use FirstUp or can share their workflow for ideas for otherwise connecting FirstUp to our DAM?

Do you know if there has been a fix yet for PDF's in Bynder that have links to open in new window automatically for improved UI?

Description of issue: Open a Bynder PDF that has links embedded, the links do not open in new window, but do if document is original on computer. So expected behavior is not the same once loaded in Bynder and shared using asset link viewing in browser. Issues when opening a link on page 20 of PDF, then having to hit back button to get back to Bynder PDF doc and it starts at the top of the document vs if PDF ink opened in new browser window, the PDF reading place on page doesn’t change and user can continue reading easily, clicking on links related to subject area of document.Simply, can you automatically have PDF links open in new window.Thank you so much.

A few questions:Is there a Bynder connector that can use Google Cloud Platform as the middleware? I have some properties I need to fill out in the PIM system I want to connect to.  it’s asking for the “Client ID” and the “Client Secret”?  Can anyone explain what these properties are and where I might find the values for them?Thanks!

Have live links in Print Brand Template PDFs

It would be great if we could have live links in our Print Brand Templates. A lot of our staff create PDFs with the purpose of emailing them and they need to have live links in there. Is this something Bynder is looking to add? I would also say having them on Digital Brand Templates could help, but that is less of a priority for us. Thanks!

Question About Bynder API Usage

I am currently using Bynder API (/api/v4/media/) to retrieve assets and save the information into our system. But I cannot catch the images which were deleted in website because from what I saw, the assets will not return by API when it was deleted in website. So, I would like to know how I can catch those deleted images by API.

Embed Bynder Content

Hello everyone,I am currently working on integrating media from Bynder into my website. My goal is to allow users to access these media via embedded links without needing to log in to Bynder. However, in my Bynder interface, I only see the Secure Embed option, which requires authentication to display the media.My questions are as follows:Public Media Integration:While reviewing the documentation, I noticed that embedded links are available here: Embed Bynder Content, but I don't see this option for my media. I only have the Secure Embed option. What can I do to enable this feature?I also tried making the assets public, but it seems that this option is not visible to me either.Download Links for Non-Logged-In Users:I want my non-logged-in users to receive a direct download link for a specific media file based on its ID. For this, I am using the Bynder API with the following endpoint:https://your-bynder-domain/api/v4/media/{id}/download/Is it mandatory to use an access token to access th

Asset Workflow Usability

Does anyone use Asset/Creative Workflow?Having used Bynder DAM in a small creative agency for a number of years we have always been keen to incorporate the workflow module to streamline how we work with clients and integrate better with the DAM.Unfortunately, any attempts to use it have been abandoned due to it being hard to use. The most noticeable issue has been the asset review page. The zoom feature never works, so small text is hard to read. Comments are inaccurate (probably because you can’t zoom). Unable to rotate artwork, which is not ideal if reviewing packaging. I have already spoken to Bynder about reviewing multipage PDFs and have been advised against it, which I can accept and workaround but we still struggle to use this module. It would be great to hear thoughts from other users as it doesn’t appear that Bynder are making any improvements. Do you use the integrated Asset Workflow or do you use an alternative reviewing platform?

Set the size of assets (images) through the API

Adding Assets to a public Online Collection that you don't own

Hi All, PLEASE Can you help me figure out why I'm struggling to do this simple procedure. I took over the Administration of our Bynder Portal at the beginning of this year and following a big push to get all our assets into Bynder, I now need to add a large amount of display files to a public collection my predecessor created before leaving. This collection is one of the tiles on the landing page of our Bynder Portal. I pulled up all the "Display File" assets and began the process of adding them to the collection, however, I see every other collection option except the one I need.I then did some research in the Bynder knowledge base and found the details to transfer ownership, so that I can have access to add more assets. I began the process and as the Admin, I'm able to pull up the collection under my predecessor's name and I'm able to select it, and I'm able to start the transfer process, HOWEVER, when I need to select a name of someone to transfer it too, I don't find any of the nam

Duplicate Finder Issue

We are having an issue when very similar files are showing up in our duplicate finder. We have many images with only a slight difference in them. I wish there was an option to ignore when file names are different. Here are lifestyle images with different file names that showed up as duplicates  If we want to keep both I guess they will forever show up on our duplicate finder list. Which after a while makes it time consuming to manage.Is anyone else having an issue with this, and does anyone have a work around?My apologies if this has been brought up before. Thanks, Glenn Bassett
