Our application programming interface (API) provides an easy way for developers to securely connect your WebDAM to other business applications and processes.  Wish you could be in your CMS and pull photos straight from your WebDAM?  Want to route sales enablement documents right to your CRM?  Dying to automate WebDAM uploads to your website?  If you’ve answered “Yes!” to any of these questions then today is your lucky day because now DAM integration has no limits.

Many organizations including Box, The American College of Physicians, salesforce.com, United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), among others have already benefited from the REST API by having WebDAM integrated with third-party applications to create automated environments. These players saw that saving time, energy, and money were determining factors for DAM integration and even requested access before this public release.   And now, anyone can get access to the WebDAM API. We’re excited to see how far developers take it and what types of integrations users will want.  With the REST API, customers can create even more convenient and efficient business workflows. Digital asset management has never been better!
