SFCC Content Assets Integration
The purpose of this integration is to allow users to create Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) content assets from content entries within Builder. This is an API-only integration and doesn't require a cartridge installation.
How the integration works
SFCC Content Assets Integration works via a webhook that listens for any content changes on the Builder side and creates, updates, or deletes the HTML equivalent as content assets in your SFCC library.
Setting up the integration
Setting SFCC API Client
Set up a new API Client in the SFCC account manager, you’ll need admin access for this:
- go to the API Client screen.
- Click Add API Client
- Enter a display name to identify the API Client, for example, “Builder.io SFCC Sync”
- Enter a password. This will be your client secret.
- From the “Token Endpoint Auth Method” menu choose “client_secret_basic”
- Click ‘Add’
- Make a note of the API Client ID that is generated and the password to be used in next steps
Assign the access permissions to your API client
- In SFCC Business Manager, go to Administration > Site Development > Open Commerce API Settings
- From the Select Type field, select ‘Data’
- From the Select Context field, select ‘Global’
- In the text field add the client ID from step 1 to the following json and paste it
Use the client ID and secret to connect to Builder
Go to integrations tab and Install the SFRA/Site Genesis plugin
add the client ID, password, main content assets library name and your instance path in the plugin configurations
Creating a Section model
