Automate Getty Images Workflows and Cut the Manual Work Out of Digital Asset Management
Connect Getty Images to your marketing, CMS, and creative tools to stop hunting for assets manually and get content out faster.
What can you do with the Getty connector?
Getty Images is one of the world's largest premium stock photography and media libraries, used by marketing teams, publishers, and agencies to source high-quality visuals for campaigns, editorial content, and digital experiences. Manually searching, downloading, and distributing licensed assets across teams and platforms is slow and error-prone. With tray.ai, you can build automated workflows that pull licensed imagery directly into your CMS, DAM, or creative tools the moment content is approved or a campaign kicks off.
Automate & integrate Getty
Automating Getty business processes or integrating Getty data is made easy with Tray.ai.
Use case
Automated Asset Sourcing for Content Campaigns
When a new campaign brief lands in your project management tool, automatically search Getty Images for relevant assets based on keywords or themes pulled from the brief and deliver curated results to the creative team. Creative coordinators stop burning time hunting for imagery, and campaigns move faster. Teams can review pre-matched assets directly in Slack, Asana, or Trello without leaving their workflow.
- Cuts time spent on manual image research by surfacing Getty results automatically from campaign metadata
- Keeps creative teams focused on design rather than asset sourcing
- Ensures only licensed, rights-cleared Getty content enters the production pipeline
Use case
CMS and Publishing Integration for Editorial Teams
Automatically fetch and attach Getty Images assets to new article drafts in WordPress, Contentful, or other CMS platforms based on article topics or tags. When a journalist or editor creates a new content record, the integration queries Getty's API, retrieves relevant editorial or commercial images, and attaches them to the draft for review. Publishing moves faster, and image quality standards stay consistent without anyone having to police them.
- Speeds up editorial publishing by auto-attaching Getty assets to draft content records
- Reduces license compliance risk by pulling only properly attributed Getty images
- Supports high-volume publishing without additional headcount
Use case
Digital Asset Management (DAM) Synchronization
Keep your internal DAM populated with the latest licensed Getty assets by syncing approved downloads and metadata automatically. When a Getty image is downloaded or licensed, tray.ai pushes the asset along with full metadata — licensing terms, contributor credits, keywords — into platforms like Bynder, Canto, or Brandfolder. One source of truth for all licensed imagery across the organization, maintained without manual uploads.
- Eliminates manual uploads to your DAM by automatically pushing Getty assets and metadata
- Keeps accurate licensing and rights information alongside every asset
- Makes Getty-sourced assets discoverable across teams without duplicating effort
Use case
E-commerce Product Page Image Automation
For brands and retailers that rely on stock imagery to supplement product visuals, automate the retrieval and assignment of Getty Images to product listings in Shopify, Magento, or similar platforms. Trigger image searches based on product categories or descriptors and route results for human review before publishing. Product pages stay visually consistent, and merchandising teams spend less time on manual sourcing.
- Speeds up product page publishing by pre-filling image candidates from Getty
- Keeps brand visuals consistent across large product catalogs
- Includes approval steps so a human signs off before any image goes live
Use case
Social Media Content Planning and Asset Delivery
Connect Getty Images to social media planning tools like Sprout Social, Hootsuite, or Airtable so that scheduled posts automatically get Getty asset recommendations based on campaign themes or post copy. Content managers pick the best image from pre-fetched options rather than starting a fresh search for every post. This matters most for teams managing high-frequency social calendars across multiple brands or regions.
- Cuts time-to-publish for social content by pre-loading Getty image suggestions
- Keeps visual quality consistent across social calendars at scale
- Supports multi-brand and multi-region teams with automated, context-aware asset retrieval
Use case
Rights and License Expiry Monitoring
Track the licensing status of Getty Images assets in use across your organization and trigger alerts or re-licensing workflows when rights are getting close to expiry. By connecting Getty metadata with your DAM or rights management system, tray.ai can surface assets that need to be renewed or replaced before expiry dates hit. Automated notifications go to legal, creative, or procurement teams based on asset type or usage, so nothing slips through.
- Surfaces Getty assets with expiring licenses before violations occur
- Routes renewal alerts to the right team automatically based on asset classification
- Reduces legal and compliance risk from expired image rights

Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating Getty — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
Manual Image Search Slows Down Content Production
Creative and editorial teams spend significant time manually searching Getty Images for every piece of content they produce, breaking their flow and delaying publishing timelines. As content volume grows, this bottleneck gets more expensive and harder to ignore.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai automates Getty image searches triggered by upstream workflow events — a new content brief, CMS draft, or calendar entry — so teams get pre-fetched image options without interrupting their work. Search queries are built dynamically from existing content metadata, so relevant results arrive without anyone asking for them.
Challenge
Licensed Assets Are Scattered Across Team Storage
Without a centralized sync, Getty Images downloads end up spread across individual desktops, shared drives, and Dropbox folders. Licensed assets become hard to find, and there's a real risk the same image gets licensed twice or used after its rights have expired.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai connects Getty download events directly to your DAM, automatically pushing every licensed asset with complete metadata into a centralized repository the moment it's acquired. All Getty assets are immediately findable, properly tagged, and tracked for licensing compliance.
Challenge
License Expiry and Rights Compliance Are Hard to Track at Scale
Organizations using large volumes of Getty Images assets often have no clear view of which licenses are close to expiry. Images get used past their rights window, and the financial and legal consequences can be significant. Spreadsheet tracking makes this worse, not better.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai runs scheduled scans of your Getty asset usage records, surfaces expiring licenses automatically, and routes targeted alerts to the right teams — creative, legal, or procurement — with enough lead time to renew or replace imagery before anything lapses.
