Before You Begin
Before you connect your custom Digital Asset Manager, make sure your service includes an adapter that supports Knak's required Application Programming Interface (API) endpoints.
Review the Custom DAM API documentation:
This documentation includes:
Required API endpoints
Expected response data
Authentication requirements
If you need help building an adapter, contact Knak Support.
Connect Your Custom DAM
In Knak, go to Admin > Integrations > Platforms.
Scroll to the Digital Asset Management section.
Click Connect on the Custom DAM tile.
Complete the required fields using your custom DAM credentials.
Configure OAuth Credentials
Enter the following values from the OAuth application configured for your DAM service:
Field | Description |
Client ID | The OAuth client identifier. |
Client Secret | The OAuth client secret. |
Your OAuth application must use the following redirect URL:
https://enterprise.knak.io/account/integrations/custom-dam/authorize
Configure Scopes
If your OAuth application requires custom scopes:
Enter each required scope in the Scopes field.
Save the configuration.
Configure the Endpoint URL
Enter the root URL for your DAM API.
For example, if the DAM Assets endpoint is:
https://yourService.com/yourDamApi/v1/dam-assets
Enter the following value in Endpoint URL:
yourService.com/yourDamApi
Manage Your Integration
After setup, view your integration in the My Platform Connection list on the Integrations page.
From here, you can:
View the configuration
Edit the integration
Delete the integration
To connect a new integration or re-add a deleted one:
Scroll to All Platforms.
Find the Custom DAM tile.
Click Connect or Add Another Connection.
Use Your Custom DAM
After your integration is connected:
Open a Knak asset.
Drag an Image block into your design.
Open the image filesystem selection screen.
Select your custom DAM from the available file systems.
Browse and select an asset.
The first time you access your custom DAM, you must sign in using your DAM account credentials. After authentication, you can browse and use assets stored in your Digital Asset Manager.
Troubleshooting
Images Do Not Appear
If an image does not load into the asset library, verify that the image URL ends with one of the supported file formats:
.png.gif.jpeg.tiff
If the URL does not use a supported file extension, the image may not display correctly.
