Have you ever wanted to update or delete your assets within Bynder, but couldn't remember on which external websites your assets were used? Optimize your asset flow and know where your assets are used with the Asset Tracker. The Asset Tracker easily tracks which assets are used where in your external CMS solutions and warns users when they try to archive or delete an asset that is used on a different channel.
How to track asset usage?
Follow the steps below to view the tracking data of an asset.
-
Log in to your Bynder portal.
-
Open the asset you want to track and click on the Statistics tab.
-
Go to the Asset tracker section. Here you can see in which CMS system the asset is used, on which page the asset is integrated and when it was added.
-
Click on the URL to directly go to the page where the asset is used.
How to integrate and set up the Asset Tracker?
-
Have a look at our out of the box solutions or integrate the Asset Tracker yourself.
I want to use an out of the box solution
The Asset Tracker currently works out of the box with the following solution:
-
Drupal 8
-
Episerver
-
Wordpress
I want to manually integrate the Asset Tracker
If you have built a custom Bynder integration for one of the systems listed below, you can also implement the Asset tracker yourself by using our asset usage API calls. Save yourself the hassle of implementing these calls yourself and make use of our SDKs. Our SDKs already have the Asset Tracker usage calls implemented by default. Check out the three calls below if you want to manually integrate them into your code.
Create asset usage
The moment a Bynder asset is integrated into an external CSM system, you use this call to create a record for the Asset Tracker that the asset is used externally.
Retrieve asset usage
This call be used to retrieve information on where your assets are used externally.
Delete asset usage
When you no longer use the asset on your external CMS, the record also needs to be removed from the Asset Tracker. This removal can be done via this API call.
More information on the calls you need to implement can be found here.
In the list below you will find the IDs for the external systems you can manually integrate with.

FAQ
Which CMS solutions work with the Asset Tracker?
You can read more about our out of the box solutions and custom integration possibilities here.
Why do I not see the Statistics tab?
You don't have the permission to access the Statistics tab. Contact your portal administrator for more information.
Why do some assets not show any tracking information?
Your asset is most likely not used on an external CMS solution. When you add an asset to one of our supported CMS solutions, the data in the Asset tracker gets automatically updated. If you are sure your asset is used externally, make sure that your CMS is supported natively or check whether your custom Asset Tracker integration is working correctly.
Can the Asset Tracker track multiple channels?
Yes, as long as the CMS solutions are supported, multiple channel tracking information should be available. If an asset is used on for example your Drupal 8 solution as well as on your Hippo instance, the information of both of these channels will be available in the Asset Tracker.
