Description
Let your files and product data drive your workflows – across 9,000+ apps
Zapier lets teams automate work between the apps they use every day, without writing code. A workflow – a Zap – starts with a trigger in one app and carries out actions in others.
By integrating Zapier with Kontainer, your DAM & PIM becomes part of those workflows. Kontainer remains the single source for approved digital assets and product data, while Zapier moves information to the right place at the right time.
Integration via API makes it possible to:
- Start workflows when files or product data are added, updated or approved in Kontainer
- Send approved files and metadata on to the tools your teams use
- Reduce manual work around copying, uploading and notifying
- Keep control of which files and data are shared

Why?
Why a Zapier – Kontainer DAM integration?
Zapier is strong at connecting apps and automating the work between them – from e-mail, chat and CRM to project tools and spreadsheets. But images, brand material and product data are rarely best managed in an automation tool.
By combining Zapier with Kontainer, you get the best of both worlds:
- Kontainer manages files, metadata, product data and rights
- Zapier moves information between Kontainer and the rest of your tools
Kontainer’s API makes it possible to connect to Zapier and ensure an automatic, consistent exchange of files and data without manual processes.
Kontainer also connects directly to many of the tools that workflows tend to touch, such as Slack, Monday.com and HubSpot. Zapier is the flexible option for everything in between, and for tools without a dedicated integration.
Use Cases
How the integration is used in practice
- Notify a team in chat or by e-mail when new files are approved in Kontainer. For file notifications in Slack alone, Kontainer also offers a dedicated Slack integration.
- Create tasks in a project tool such as Monday.com when a campaign folder is ready for review.
- Send approved product images and data on to other systems, such as webshops (for example Shopify), CRM and marketing tools such as HubSpot.
- Log asset activity in a spreadsheet or database for reporting and overview.
- Connect product data and files to AI tools by combining Zapier with Kontainer’s MCP integration.
