Configuration Notes
'Brand ID' Notes
To retrieve your Brand ID, you can place an API call directly to your browser. Replace insert-your-bynder-domain in the URL with your domain name.
The retrieved data from the call will contain a string for the 'ID' value, which is your Brand ID:
'Meta Properties' Notes
If a custom property in Bynder is a 'Select' metaproperty, it only accepts predefined values. This means the value in Creative Force must exactly match one of the allowed values in Bynder.
For example, if Bynder has a 'Day of the Week' metaproperty with these options: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Only those values will be accepted.
If "Saturday" is entered in Creative Force, it will not successfully transfer to Bynder.
'When File Exists' Notes
Create a New Asset: CF will always save a new asset in your Bynder instance. This option will overwrite the existing files based on the filename. You must enable Search for existing assets by filename.
Make a New Asset Version: CF will scan the Bynder instance to check for existing assets by Bynder Media ID (from the backend) and also by filename (if the Search for existing assets by file name is enabled).
If we receive one result, CF will save a new version of the existing asset.
If we receive multiple results, CF will create a new asset. (Overwrite existing files based on filename)
If we receive zero results, CF will create a new asset. (Overwrite existing files based on filename)
If we cannot find the Bynder Media ID, and 'search for existing assets by file name' is disabled, CF will create a new asset. (Overwrite existing files based on filename)
