Contentstack CMS Plugin

Work smarter with your content by integrating Kontainer with Contentstack CMS. Easily insert images, videos and files directly from Kontainer via the filepicker – saving time, ensuring consistency, and keeping all your material updated in one place.

CONTENTSTACK CMS |


Description

Seamless media management in Contentstack using Kontainer

With the Kontainer plugin for Contentstack, editors can access images, video and files stored in Kontainer DAM directly within the Contentstack interface — without physically uploading them into the CMS. Instead, each media item is inserted as a CDN link, which ensures the original files remain managed in Kontainer.

This approach delivers multiple benefits: your CMS stays lightweight and lean, all media content is always versioned and controlled at a single source, and performance improves thanks to fast delivery from Kontainer’s CDN. When a file is updated in Kontainer, it reflects immediately everywhere it’s used in Contentstack.

Editors get a smooth workflow: within Contentstack’s editor, they open Kontainer’s filepicker, browse or search for the desired media (images, video, files), and insert them into content. The filepicker supports filtering via metadata so the right assets surface quickly.


Benefits

Why use Kontainer’s Contentstack plugin?

✔ No duplicates or local copies — images, video and files stay in Kontainer and are referenced via CDN links

✔ Instant synchronization — updates in Kontainer automatically propagate to all Contentstack references

✔ Improved performance — media delivered via Kontainer’s global CDN for faster load times

✔ Reduced CMS overhead — Contentstack stores only references, not the actual media

✔ Single source of truth — one canonical repository ensures consistency and correctness

✔ Advanced metadata search — leverage tags, categories, license fields and more to find media

✔ Central access control — permissions managed in Kontainer, automatically reflected in plugin

✔ Security & compliance — secure API integration, encryption, audit trails

✔ Scalability — support for expanding metadata schema, filters, and user roles


Features

What the integration offers

  • Insertion via CDN links
    All images, video and files are embedded as URLs from Kontainer’s CDN, not physically copied into Contentstack.
  • Metadata-driven search & filtering
    The filepicker surfaces media based on metadata fields, making discovery fast and accurate.
  • License & expiry display
    Media items show license status and expiration in the picker, preventing usage of invalid assets.
  • Preview & crop / resize
    View media thumbnails and optionally crop or resize before insertion.
  • Version management
    Switch between versions of images, video and files in Kontainer — updates automatically reflect in Contentstack.
  • Access-based filtering
    User roles and permissions limit which media are visible to each editor.
  • High security
    Integration via secure APIs (OAuth, HTTPS), with logging and audit trails.
  • Batch insertion
    Select multiple media items at once and insert them into content in a single step.

Plugin

Why a CMS-DAM integration?

While Contentstack excels at managing structured content, it isn’t built to handle large volumes of media, advanced metadata, version control, or permissions granularly. When media is uploaded directly into CMS, you risk duplication, outdated versions, licensing issues, and lack of oversight.

By combining Contentstack with Kontainer DAM, you get the best of both worlds:

  • Contentstack handles content modeling, structure, and delivery
  • Kontainer manages your media (images, video, files) with full governance, delivered via CDN references

This integration ensures editors work in a unified interface, while media stays controlled, updated, and performing optimally.

FAQ

Are media files copied into Contentstack?

No — all media (images, video, files) are embedded as CDN links, and the original files remain in Kontainer.

How do updates propagate?

When a file is updated in Kontainer, it is automatically updated everywhere it’s referenced in Contentstack.

Is this secure?

Yes — the integration uses secure API calls (OAuth, HTTPS) and maintains logs and audit trails.

Can I control which media each editor sees?

Yes — access is managed via user roles and permissions in Kontainer, which the plugin respects.

How about performance?

Media is delivered through Kontainer’s CDN, which speeds up loading and reduces strain on the CMS.

Can we migrate existing media into Kontainer?

Yes — we can assist with migrating your current content to Kontainer and replacing direct uploads in Contentstack with CDN-linked references.
