How to Use The Connector
After configuration, you can manually add Bynder assets to products and CMS pages through Backoffice and SmartEdit. In addition, you can search, browse, and filter Bynder assets within SAP Commerce Cloud. When uploading a new asset to Bynder, you can tag it with a unique identifier linked to a product in SAP. For example, a product ID. This way, the connector can automatically sync the asset with the corresponding product in SAP. The information coming from SAP can be used to tag your Bynder metaproperties with the correct data automatically. Optionally, you can set up a Bynder metaproperty that indicates for which SAP multiple media attribute fields this asset needs to be used. By selecting the appropriate metaproperty options upon upload to Bynder, you can automatically ensure that the asset will be used for the appropriate SAP multiple media attribute fields.
