Integration and automation
On the Content Manager side and on the Content Delivery side, you have numerous options to integrate with your own software, third-party software, or other SDL software.
- Core Service
The Core Service is a remote API that lets implementers interact with Content Manager from any custom third-party application or GUI. It is the recommended interface to Content Manager. - Event System
The Event System handles events that occur in Content Manager. It is part of the TOM.NET API. The Event System lets you write event handlers and hook each one up to a specific type of event occurring in the Content Manager, such as an item being saved. Because the events are organized in a hierarchy, you can catch multiple events using the same event handler. - Context Expression Extension
The Context Expression Extension lets you use JEXL content expressions to personalize your web content. - Integration between SDL Tridion Sites and SDL Tridion Docs
As of SDL Tridion Sites 9, SDL Tridion Sites can be integrated with SDL Tridion Docs (release 13 SP2 or later) to facilitate a "content mashup" --that is, putting content coming from both products together on the same webpage. - Connector for Digital Media Management: integration with SDL Media Manager
This add-on product for SDL Tridion Sites lets you use multimedia stored in SDL Media Manager in your SDL Tridion Sites-driven websites. It provides direct access to all video and rich media assets stored in SDL Media Manager and let your drag & drop them onto your webpages. Moreover, it leverages SDL Media Manager's CDN-based capabilities for global content distribution. SDL Media Manager itself is a SaaS-based solution. - Translation Manager: integration with SDL translation management products
The Translation Manager feature enables you to submit content managed inSDL Tridion Sitesto any of the three SDL translation management products: SDL TMS, SDL WorldServer and SDL BeGlobal. You do so by creating translation jobs, whose status you can track from SDL Tridion Sites. - Content Interaction Services (CIS)
The Content Delivery server-side microservices, called Content Interaction Services or CIS for short, are RESTful web services that allow various parties to interact with the Content Delivery stack. - Ambient Data Framework
Add the Ambient Data Framework to your website visitor's request/response pipeline in order to gather and respond to ambient visitor information during a session. The Ambient Data Framework places all the data points it collects (such as IP address, geolocation or screen size) or deduces (such as demographics or median income) in a Claim Store. - Contextual web delivery
The Context Engine features enables you to discover and respond to contextual information about the visitors of your website. Its device database contains information about more than 15,000 devices, and is regularly updated, free of charge, with new devices. - Mobile delivery and mobile apps
You can use Templating and BluePrinting technology to localize transformations for a specific channel. This allows you to create multiple different representations of the same website content. Specifically, you can use patterns such as responsive design or grid representations to develop mobile pages that can adapt to a variety of devices. - Contextual Image Delivery
Contextual Image Delivery enables you to transform images in real time through URL manipulation. Append commands to your URL to resize, crop, trim, or even transform your image from one format to another, all at request time, while applying to caching to prevent unnecessary repetition of image transformations.
