Integration Architecture
Digizuite has created a Web-plugin which use the App Toolkit provided from Contentful to communicate with the content in Contentful.
Digizuizte has an embedded ui (MM5.6 Unified DAM UI ) which posts messages when a user clicks on an asset. The web plugin the listens to those messages and forwards the asset urls to contentful for rendering.

How it works
When you have installed the plugin, then you need to create your content type to use in the actual content.
Go to ‘Content Model’ and click on ‘Add content type’:
Select the field type to be ‘JSON Object’
Go to Appearance and make sure to select Digizuite DAM and then provide url for your mm and remember /embedded.
Go to ‘Content’ and then create some content which then use your new content type. When you do that, you can see ‘Select asset from Digizuite’ which will open the UI from where you can search and find the assets.
The asset picker UI looks like this in MM 5.7.0.
