SFTP - Kentico Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between SFTP and Kentico

• Secure publishing of approved website assets from SFTP to Kentico
  Marketing, creative, or agency teams place finalized product images, PDFs, banners, and campaign files on an SFTP server. Kentico then imports these assets into the CMS for use across landing pages, product pages, and campaign microsites. This reduces manual uploads, speeds content release cycles, and creates a controlled handoff from external vendors to the web team.
• Automated product catalog and pricing updates from SFTP to Kentico eCommerce
  Merchandising or ERP teams export product data, pricing files, and inventory feeds to SFTP on a scheduled basis. Kentico consumes the files to update product listings, category pages, and promotional pricing across the website. This improves data accuracy, reduces rework for content teams, and supports faster merchandising changes without direct CMS intervention.
• Localized content distribution from SFTP to Kentico for regional websites
  Translation vendors or regional marketing teams deliver localized page copy, metadata, and downloadable assets through SFTP. Kentico imports the files into the appropriate language sites or regional content structures. This supports consistent global publishing while allowing local teams to manage market-specific content efficiently.
• Secure transfer of customer or lead data from Kentico to SFTP for downstream systems
  Kentico captures form submissions, campaign registrations, quote requests, and newsletter signups, then exports the data to SFTP for CRM, marketing automation, or analytics processing. This enables secure handoff of sensitive customer information to internal systems or third-party processors while maintaining transfer logs for compliance and audit purposes.
• Scheduled delivery of compliance-approved documents from SFTP to Kentico document libraries
  Legal, compliance, or regulatory teams store approved policy documents, terms and conditions, and disclosure files on SFTP. Kentico retrieves and publishes the latest versions to the website document library or footer links. This ensures only approved content is exposed publicly and helps teams maintain version control across regulated materials.
• Campaign asset synchronization from Kentico to SFTP for external partners
  When internal teams create campaign pages, downloadable brochures, or promotional content in Kentico, selected assets can be exported to SFTP for use by print vendors, distributors, or channel partners. This keeps external stakeholders aligned with the latest approved materials and reduces duplicate asset management across teams.
• Disaster recovery and content backup from Kentico to SFTP
  Kentico content exports, media files, and configuration backups are transferred to a secure SFTP location on a recurring schedule. This provides an encrypted offsite backup option for critical web content and supports recovery planning in the event of a platform outage, accidental deletion, or content corruption.
• Bi-directional asset and metadata exchange between SFTP and Kentico for controlled content operations
  Organizations with multiple content sources can use SFTP as a secure staging layer for both inbound and outbound files. External systems deliver approved assets and data to SFTP for Kentico ingestion, while Kentico exports content packages, reports, or customer data back to SFTP for partner consumption. This creates a governed workflow that improves traceability, reduces manual handling, and supports cross-functional collaboration.
