Embeddables are bundles of code that embed assets on third-party platforms like WordPress, Drupal, Brand Connect, and anywhere else you can embed code.
Embeddable downloads give you the added option to embed a thumbnail plus a link to download the asset. You can track where the assets are embedded and how many times the asset has been downloaded.
Example: You display your products on your website, including downloadable brochures that explain the product in more depth. With embeddable downloads, you grab an embed code for a brochure directly from your DAM. This code is then embedded on your website, allowing you to embed a thumbnail of the selected brochure.
The code also lets subscribers download the brochure on your website while hosting it in your DAM—no more staging servers, and FTP sites required. If you update or change the brochure in your DAM, the changes are reflected on your website so that visitors are always downloading the latest version or seeing the latest thumbnail.

Embeddable download reporting
