Mimir

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

Introduction

Mimir is a cloud-native, serverless platform that provides asset management capabilities for media companies. If your organization uses Mimir as the central source for images and other media, you can make those Mimir assets available directly in Prepr content items. This way, content editors can work with centralized DAM assets without switching between systems.

Embed Mimir assets in content items

Once your Mimir integration has been activated, content editors can select Mimir assets directly in their content items.

Example content item Mimir asset

When a content editor connects to Mimir for the first time, they need to sign in with their Mimir account credentials before they can choose the asset/s they want to add to the content item.

Retrieve Mimir 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.

Check out the example code snippet below.

Request


query {
  Articles {
    items {
      cover_image {
        _id
        url
      }
    }
  }
}

That’s it. The Mimir integration lets your team work with DAM assets directly in Prepr content.
