Digizuite DAM integration service provides an API where integration endpoints can register for notifications regarding asset and metadata changes. We have made it easy to setup the connection between Sitecore and Digizuite. You registrer an url and your Sitecore instance will receive notifications from Digizuite whenever an asset changes. In Sitecore we have a controller, which is located at the following route [siteUrl]/damforsitecore/silo/update. This is the endpoint that receives notifications from Digizuite. An important thing to note here is, that the endpoint must be reachable by the Digizuite server. Otherwise, the notifications won't be sent. This is usually the case for developers on local environments.

let’s talk about what the controller does when it receives a notification. The data coming from Digizuite will be serialized in to an object of this type:

public class UpdateNotification
{ 
    public List<ChangeData> Data { get; set; }
}
    
public class ChangeData
{
    public ChangeType ChangeType { get; set; }
    public int ItemId { get; set; }
    public int BaseId { get; set; }
}

The property ChangeType indicates whether it's an AssetChanged, MetafieldChanged, ComboValueChanged or TreeValueChanged. The DAM for Sitecore connector only support the event type AssetChanged. The following happens when we recive the AssetChanged event:

  1. Run the pipeline DFS.DigizuiteUpdateNotification

    1. Call Digizuite api to fetch the asset information.

    2. Save the asset in the asset silo (/sitecore/media library/Digizuite/Assets).

    3. Clear local asset cache.

    4. Send remove event to all CD servers and clear cache.

Setup the endpoint

Go to DFS 11.0 - Digizuite Integration

Verify the connection

If Digizuite DAM server can access your site, change an asset in the Digizuite DAM Center and verify that the notification has been sent to Sitecore.

  1. Go to the DAM Center and find an asset that is published to the Sitecore channel.

  2. Change some of the metadata, e.g. the title. The Digizuite DAM will notify all registered integration endpoints with the update.

  3. You should see the following log statement in the file dfs.digizuiteintegration.log. This indicates that Digizuite DAM has delivered the notification to the controller inside Sitecore.

    DFSDigizuiteIntegrationLog 40008 13:03:11 INFO  DigizuiteIntegration UpdateEvent: ID: 2095 ChangeType:AssetChanged
