Sharedien–Storyblok Connector: Central DAM meets headless CMS
Reading time:
minutes
Storyblok has established itself as a modern headless CMS and is particularly popular for flexible, component-based digital projects. Content can be maintained in a structured manner and delivered across various channels.
Here, too, the same applies:
Media is not only used for one platform, but across channels. A central digital asset management system such as Sharedien is indispensable for this.
Currently, however, there is no direct connection between Storyblok and Sharedien.
The familiar problem – even in the headless environment
Without integration, assets must be:
- manually exported from the DAM
- re-imported into Storyblok
- and maintained there separately
This leads to:
- redundant data
- lack of up-to-date information
- and limited transparency regarding asset usage
Especially in headless setups that rely on automation and reusability, this is a clear break in the concept.
Sharedien–Storyblok Connector
Based on our experience with the FirstSpirit Connector, we are currently planning a comparable connector for Storyblok.
The goal is to provide the same core functions:
- Direct use of Sharedien assets in Storyblok
- Maintaining the connection to the DAM
- Transparent asset usage across systems
Here, too, the connector is deliberately designed to be lightweight but highly integrated—in line with the philosophy of headless CMS.
Why this is relevant for companies
Companies with:
- multiple output channels
- agile content teams
- and growing media volumes
benefit enormously from a clean connection between CMS and DAM. A Sharedien–Storyblok Connector creates the basis for:
- consistent brand images
- up-to-date media
- and more efficient editorial processes.
Outlook
The Sharedien–Storyblok Connector is currently in planning.
Companies that use Storyblok and Sharedien as their DAM can look forward to a solution that consistently avoids media breaks.
