Bynder

In this guide, you’ll learn how to activate the Bynder integration in Prepr CMS. This integration allows content editors to access Bynder assets so teams can work with approved media from an enterprise DAM platform directly in Prepr.

The Bynder integration is only available if you’ve activated the DAT module for your Bynder account.

Introduction

Bynder is an enterprise digital asset management (DAM) platform. If your organization uses Bynder as the central source for images and other media, you can make those Bynder assets available directly in Prepr content items. This way, content editors can work with centralized DAM assets without switching between systems.

Retrieve Bynder assets using the API

Now that the assets have been embedded in content items, you can retrieve the asset details together with the content items in your front end. For each embedded image from Bynder, you can get the following details when making the API request:

url: The URL location of the image.
name: The title of the image.
author: The author of the image.
description: More detailed info about the image.

Check out the example code snippet below.

Request


query {
  Cars {
    items {
      image {
        url
        name
        author
        description
        alt_text
      }
    }
  }
}
