Umbraco is a content management platform designed around the people who use it every day, allowing them to build pages by combining text, images, videos, and documents, drop visuals straight into articles, and reuse the same assets across websites, languages, and campaigns.
The Bynder connector for Umbraco, developed by Uxbee, integrates your approved brand assets directly into the Umbraco environment. Rather than executing manual downloads and re-uploads, content editors can search, filter, and select Bynder images, videos, and documents directly from the page they are editing. Editors authenticate with their individual Bynder credentials, ensuring they only access permitted assets. By linking rather than copying files, the integration prevents outdated duplicates, guarantees the correct format for each channel, and maintains synchronization of alt text and copyright metadata between Bynder and Umbraco, resulting in consistent brand presentation and more efficient workflows.
