About the IntelligenceBank Assets Connector for Optimizely CMS 12

Modified on Tue, 30 Jun at 1:35 PM

The IntelligenceBank Assets Connector for Optimizely CMS 12 makes it easy for users to browse, search and insert their approved IntelligenceBank assets as Public CDN links or local copies via a dedicated custom assets block.

Compatibility

The connector was built for Optimizely CMS 12 on a target framework of .NET 8.0. It works with any standard CMS 12 deployment - whether self-hosted (on-premise or your own cloud) or cloud-hosted on Optimizely DXP (PaaS). Self-hosted and DXP run the same .NET application and differ only in where it is hosted, so the connector installs identically on both.

This connector is not compatible with Optimizely CMS SaaS (SaaS Core). SaaS Core is a separate, headless, versionless product - not a "version" of CMS 12 - and does not run a server-side .NET application, so it cannot load the NuGet packages or the server-side TinyMCE configuration these connectors depend on. SaaS Core support may be added in the future.
