Find Brandfolder assets in Salesforce Marketing Cloud’s Content Builder.
Brandfolder’s integration for Salesforce Marketing Cloud allows you to quickly find and easily use assets from Brandfolder to build impactful, on-brand, and always up-to-date marketing content in Salesforce Marketing Cloud’s Content Builder.
Set up the integration
Please reach out to your designated Brandfolder representative.
Navigate the integration
- On your Salesforce landing page, navigate to the Content Builder.
- Once in the content builder, you can edit previously created content or create new content.
- In this example, we will create a new email template by navigating to the Create button in the top right-hand corner. Select the email template > from the existing template.
- Once within the template, select a Brandfolder custom block by selecting the Brandfolder under the Custom section.
Navigate the Brandfolder panel
- If this is your first time using the plugin, input your API key to access your assets.
Your Brandfolder content will appear. The integration panel allows you to navigate your content just like you would within the Brandfolder by visiting the different levels of the Brandfolder hierarchy (Organizations, Brandfolders, and Collections).
- Once you are at the Brandfolder or Collection level, you have the following options to narrow down your content.
- Search assets by inputting search syntaxes into the search bar.
- Select Pin Next to the search bar, utilize pinned searches.
- Filter by asset status, tags, file types, custom fields, orientation, SKU, and upload date by selecting the Filter icon next to Pin.
- Search for labels by selecting the Label icon below the search bar.
- Filter by section or collection by selecting the arrow to the right of All Sections or Collections.
- You can view asset details by hovering over the asset, selecting the ellipses, and selecting View Details.
Use Brandfolder assets
- Once you locate the assets you want to use, hover over the asset, select the More menu, and choose Place.
- You will arrive at a new window where you can adjust the following:
- Alignment
- Image label (alt text)
- Image link
- Image width and height
- Crop
- Crop Type
- Once adjustments are final, select Preview. Your preview will show up in the center pane.
- You can drag and drop the asset wherever you want within your project.
- After adjusting the asset and viewing the preview, select Done Editing.
The integration utilizes Brandfolder CDN. If your account does not include CDN, it utilizes thumbnail URLs. You must update the image before sending it; if the asset is in an email, you must make updates.
