Strapi Integration Guide

With Kontainer's Strapi integration, you can easily insert images, videos, and files directly from your DAM into Strapi's admin panel — without manually downloading and uploading.

The integration ensures that your editors and developers always work with the latest, brand-approved assets directly within Strapi.

Go to the Kontainer integration page to find out more about the use cases, benefits, etc.

What is the Strapi integration?

Kontainer's Strapi integration is based on the Kontainer File Picker plugin, which connects your Strapi project with Kontainer DAM & PIM.

The plugin allows you to:

  • Access your entire Kontainer library directly inside Strapi's admin panel
  • Search, filter, and browse files using metadata
  • Insert assets into your content types and components with just a few clicks
  • Work without leaving the Strapi admin panel

Because Strapi is a code-first, headless CMS, the plugin is added directly to your Strapi project and connects to Kontainer via API — giving your developers full control over how and where the File Picker is exposed across content types.

Getting started

  1. Install the plugin

Contact Kontainer support to receive the Kontainer File Picker plugin for Strapi. Your developer adds the plugin to your Strapi project and registers it in the project's plugin configuration, then rebuilds the admin panel to activate it.

  1. Connect to Kontainer

Once the plugin is installed:

  • Open the plugin settings in Strapi's admin panel
  • Enter your Kontainer API credentials
  • Connect to the desired library

You now have access to your Kontainer assets directly inside Strapi.

  1. Using Kontainer in Strapi

Once the integration is active, you can:

  • Open the Kontainer File Picker from a media field in your content type
  • Search for assets using metadata, tags, or filenames
  • Preview assets before inserting
  • Insert assets directly into your content types and components

All assets are delivered directly from Kontainer, so you always work with the latest version, while metadata, permissions, and versioning are managed centrally.

NOTE: Setup requires basic developer involvement on your Strapi project. Contact us for more information and a quote.
