Placing images In Indesign via a .csv spreadsheet from a DAM with CI Hub

[Tara34102948yr8z]

Hi, I am trying to find a way to data merge images (primarily icons) into Indesign templates from our  Brandfolder (Digital Asset Management library) from a .csv spreadsheet. We use CI HUB as the connector between Brandfolder and Indesign, so I would presume that CI HUB holds the solution, but have not been able to figure it out?

We can store the images on the local drive and the link work,s but I need to find away to get the .csv to draw from Brandfolder and place into Indesign Templates? Any ideas?

What kind of paths are reported for your placed links in InDesign, that is the links placed from Brandfolder? Select a link, then post a screenshot from the Links panel that shows the path. If it's not a standard path recognized by InDesign, then CI HUB will need to create a custom solution for you via their connector. At least as far as I understand your scenario.

Hello,

you can data merge images from Brandfolder into InDesign using CI HUB. Use CI HUB to select and export assets with a CSV, ensuring image paths are relative. Then use InDesign’s Data Merge panel to insert text and image placeholders. The key is:

Use @IMAGE column headers

Keep images and CSV in the same folder

Use graphic frames for images.

Best Regard,
