⟹ Best Module for XM/XP or XM Cloud

Description

⟹ In the thrilling arena of the Sitecore Hackathon, our team, the Sitecore Wizards, have worked on a groundbreaking Media Migration Tool designed to seamlessly transfer media content from Sitecore XP to Content Hub DAM. The Purpose of the module is to facilitate an effortless migration of media assets from XP to Content Hub DAM, by providing necessary credentials to the environment.

⟹ Currently, there is no direct module available to Migrate the Media from Sitecore to Content Hub. You have to download the media, and upload those media items into Content Hub Manually. Or you can bulk upload manually by creating an import File.

⟹ This Module, solves the problem of downloading the media items to some location and then reuploading them to Content Hub. Instead, once connected, we can directly upload the media item from Sitecore Media Library to Sitecore Content Hub DAM.

⟹ The Module works for Sitecore XM/XP as well as for Sitecore XM Cloud.

Comments

Future Enhancements:

  • The module can be extended to support Media items other than Image and Jpeg types.
  • The module can be extended to have bulk Media Upload, specifically, the whole folder, to have all the media items in Content Hub in one go.
  • The module can be extended to automatically approve the media item in Content Hub, so that it is available in Final Workflow State and is accessed through the Assets section.
  • WE are already generating the public link for the uploaded media items. We could install and configure the Cotnent Hub DAM Connector in Sitecore, and utilize this public link, such that, as soon as the Media item is uploaded in Content Hub, and Public Link is generated, the Module scans the complete content tree, and finds where all the given Media Item ID is available. It can then replace that with the Public Link URL.
