Configure Connector

Follow the description and instruction in the Basic Configuration Menu to configure the mandatory settings.

Frontify Configuration

Configure the Frontify Instance: Set the URL and the service token from the Frontify Domain the connector should traverse. The service Token should be created by your technical user. Download and install a chrome driver for your Chrome web browser. Configure the chrome driver settings and use your technical admin as user.
Frontify Connection Configuration
To access Assets from Libraries and/or Workspace Projects, please activate the supplementary Asset traversal feature.
Asset Settings
Add additional configuration for the Selenium driver and filter options for Guidelines. Decreasing the rendering time fastens the traversal, but can also lead to item failures, so not all Guideline pages will not be processed by the connector.
