Configure the Bynder app

The Bynder app lets you connect your Bynder account to Optimizely Connect Platform (OCP) to sync Bynder asset data and receive real-time changes to assets through Bynder webhooks.

This app imports the Bynder data to OCP, where you can then use the Sync Manager to sync this data to your other Optimizely products.

OAuth 2.0 authentication in Bynder

Create an OAuth app in your Bynder account before connecting it to OCP. 

1. Log in to the Bynder app as an administrator. 
2. Go to Settings > Portal Settings > Security > OAuth Apps.
3. Click Add new app and enter the following details:
   • Application name – Enter Optimizely Connect Platform.
   • Description – Enter Integration with Optimizely Data Platform.
   • Redirect URI – Copy and paste the OAuth Redirect URI (https://auth.zaius.app/grant/bynder) from Settings > Authorization in OCP. See Install and configure the app in OCP. 
   • Scopes – Select the following permissions:
     • offline – Required for token refresh 
     • asset:read – Required to read asset data
     • asset.usage:read – Required to read asset usage data
     • meta.assetbank.read:read –  Required to read asset bank metadata
     • webhooks.config.read – Required to view webhook configurations
     • webhooks.config:write – Required to manage webhook configurations  
   • Click Save.

After you authorize the app using OAuth per Bynder’s requirements, the Bynder asset data is downloaded to OCP, and future updates are synced through the supplied webhook URL.

Install and configure the app in OCP

1. Go to Data Setup > App Directory.

2. Select the Bynder app.

   

3. Click Install App. The Settings tab displays.
4. Enter your Bynder Instance URL.

5. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret. 

   If you cannot see the Client ID or Secret, uninstall and reinstall the app.

6. Click Authorize with OAuth. You are redirected to Bynder to approve the connection. After approval, you are redirected to OCP again to complete the configuration. 

   

   You must have Webhooks Permissions in the Set user profile field of your Bynder user profile to authorize this integration.

   

Sync Bynder data to other Optimizely products in OCP

1. Go to Data Setup > Sync Manager.
2. Click New Sync.
3. Enter a Sync Name, like Bynder Assets to Optimizely Graph.

4. Complete the following for the sync Source:

   • Source – Select OCP App.
   • App – Select Bynder.
   • Object – Select the data type that you want to sync from Bynder, like Asset.

   

5. Complete the selections for your sync Destination:
   • If you select Content Graph (now called Optimizely Graph) as the product to which you want to sync your Bynder data, you must also select the Instance, Object, Status, and Language.

   • If you select OCP App as the product to which you want to sync your Bynder data, you must then select the App and Object.

     

6. Connect specific Bynder fields with your chosen destination fields in the Field Mapping section.

   To autopopulate the field mappings based on your chosen source object, select Inherit Source Object in the Object drop-down list of the Destination section, and then click Apply.

   

7. Toggle off any field mappings that you do not want to sync (all are on by default).

   

8. Click Save. Your Bynder data now syncs to your chosen destination.

   

9. Repeat these steps if you want to sync different Bynder data to different destinations.
