Approved in Content Hub, Live on the Site: Event-Driven Asset Publishing with Triggers and Next.js Revalidation

-
Sitecore Content Hub DAM + Next.js — a working implementation In most DAM-to-website setups, the moment the business cares about is approval. Legal signs off, the asset is marked Approved , and the campaign manager expects to see it on the site. What usually follows is a wait: for a cache to expire, for a scheduled job to run, or for someone to trigger a deploy. This article builds the alternative. When an asset’s status changes in Content Hub, the site’s cache for the affected campaign is invalidated within seconds — no rebuild, no polling. It includes working code for the three moving parts, the Content Hub configuration that connects them, and the section I spent the most time on: what happens when something in the chain fails. When this pattern applies. It fits sites that read approved assets from Content Hub at render time: campaign galleries, download centres, brand portals....

Guardrails for Agentic Sitecore: What to Do Before You Let an Agent Near a CM Instance

-
Part 3 of the Agentic Sitecore series Previously on the blog: MCP‑Powered AI Development Workflow in Sitecore XM Cloud introduced why Model Context Protocol matters for XM Cloud. From Prompt to Production: Agentic Sitecore Workflows with MCP walked through two working setups — Marketer MCP and the open-source community server — that take a single prompt from "create this page" to a published route on Experience Edge. Both posts end at the same place: it works. This one starts from a different question, which is the one that actually comes up once a working demo turns into something a team uses every week — what has to be true before this is allowed to run against something you'd mind losing? The demo in the March post is safe by construction: one page, one component, one publish, a non-production tenant, and a person reading every response before the next prompt goes in. None of those conditions survive contact with real usage. Someone will eventually ...

Fixing Module Access in Sitecore Content Hub with a Sign-in Script

-
Sitecore Content Hub · C# · Sign-in Scripts Auto-Assign Modules to Users on Sign-in in Sitecore Content Hub Content Hub DAM  ·  Scripting  ·  User Management One of the most common and frustrating issues in a fresh Sitecore Content Hub project is users getting 404 errors after logging in — even though their permissions look correct. The culprit is almost always module access . This article covers why module access doesn't cascade from user groups, how to diagnose it, and how to fix it permanently using a C# Sign-in Script that auto-assigns all available modules to users on every login. Real scenario: We assigned the Content module to a user group CH.CMP.Everyone . Users in that group still got 404. Assigning the module directly to individual users fixed it. This led us to investigate and implement the sign-in script solution documented here. The Problem — Module Access vs Group Permissions In Content Hub, there are two distinct layers of acces...

Wrapping OOTB Search as a Swiper Carousel in Content Hub

-
Sitecore Content Hub · React · TypeScript ·  Content Hub DAM  ·  External Components  ·  Practical Implementation Sitecore Content Hub's OOTB Search Component renders asset cards with everything built in — Download, Quick View, permissions, lifecycle status. But its layout is a fixed grid. What if you need it as a horizontal carousel with a custom header? This article documents a pattern we implemented in production: an External React Component that hides the OOTB Search, waits for its cards to fully render, then moves them into a Swiper carousel — keeping all native functionality intact. Key insight: We never rebuild what the OOTB component already does. We let it do its job invisibly, then steal its output and re-present it in our own UI shell. Architecture CONTENT HUB PAGE YOUR EXTERNAL COMPONENT OOTB Search Component opacity:0 — invisible but active Renders cards · Permissions · Download · Quick View Filters ·...
