Overview - Kontainer connector for Enterprise search
Updated 25 days ago
/ /
Introduction
The Kontainer connector allows Simpplr Enterprise Search to index your Kontainer content, making it easily discoverable and searchable directly within Simpplr, alongside all other configured sources.
Kontainer combines Digital Asset Management (DAM) and Product Information Management (PIM) in a single platform. With this connector, you can:
Search all Kontainer DAM files — brand assets, campaign media, and documents — directly within Simpplr
Search DAM content with permissions enforced — results are filtered to files the signed-in user already has access to in Kontainer (when document-level security is enabled)
Search results and AI-generated summaries from Kontainer appear alongside all other connected sources in Simpplr.
