Adobe Experience Manager Connector

Written by Jameson
Updated over 2 weeks ago

We now support a native integration with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). Using the AEM Connector, once Asset Delivery is triggered in a Creative Force Workflow, it will be automatically delivered to AEM. The connector also supports configurable folder structures and metadata mapping between the platforms.

Add On: AEM is an add-on Connector. If you are interested in using it in your studio, please contact your CSM.


Getting Started

Enable Connector

Once the connector is available in your account, head to Studio Settings → Connectors → Adobe Experiance Manager, and enable the connector.

AEM Setup

In order for AEM to connect with Creative Force, there are a few permissions that must be configured prior to using it in productions.

Add Group

From the AEM Homepage → hit the Hammer Icon (Tools) → then hit Security.

Under 'Groups', click Create:

Enter an ID & Name for the new group:

Then, select Save & Close at the top right.

New User

Back in the Security menu, select 'Users.'

Under 'Users', click Create.

Fill out the required fields, then move over from the 'details' tab to the 'groups' tab.

In the search field, enter the name of the group created in the Add Group step. Select it to associate it with the User, then hit 'Save & Close.'

Manage Permissions

Back in the Security menu, head to 'Permissions.'

Select the group created in the initial step, then hit Add ACE in the top right corner.

In the following menu, there will be a number of configuration options.
