Onboard DAM to CMS (SaaS)

At present, you must contact Support to integrate Optimizely DAM in CMS (SaaS). After the connection is established, you can choose which asset types to use through the Settings / Optimizely DAM Features page. You can enable each asset type individually by selecting Activate this feature for the asset type you want to use and save.

Delivery to the frontend

Optimizely Graph is the delivery channel for content in CMS SaaS and this is also true for DAM assets. Content is indexed into Optimizely Graph including the reference of the DAM assets identity. Optimizely Graph queries for CMS content include the DAM asset with its data in a shared result. You do not need additional lookups to retrieve DAM data because the data is included in the response.

Query example of CMS and DAM content

In Optimizely Graph, the following code shows how to query an Examplecontent type page that has three ContentReference properties, MainImage, Video and Pdf and return a joint result of CMS and DAM data. In the example is Video and Pdf ordinary ContentReference properties without item type specified. The ContentReference property MainImage on the other hand has item type specified as 'cmp_PublicImageAsset' and therefore that does not need to be projected/casted in query.

query PageWithAssetsQuery {
  Example(
    where: { _metadata: { key: { eq: "303ddcad1b7c4895a730abbb0730a677" } } }
  ) {
    items {
      _id
      Title
      MainImage {
        url {
          graph
        }
        item {
           Id
           Url
           Title
        }
      }
      Video {
        item {
          ... on cmp_PublicVideoAsset {
            Id
            Url
            Title
          }
        }
      }
      Pdf {
        item {
          ... on cmp_PublicRawFileAsset {
            Id
            Url
            Title
          }
        }

Export and import across instances

Currently exporting content that uses DAM assets from one CMS instance and importing it into another is currently not supported.
