# Chili Publisher Integration Release 1.0
Hello world! Learn more about the features and technical requirements in our new 4App Chili Publisher Integration.
Note on individualization: Our release notes describe the standard product. If your 4ALLPORTAL is strongly customized or if you installed individual apps, we recommend contacting our support before upgrading.
# New Features and Improvements
# Connect via External Assets
Tag and import 4ALLPORTAL DAM files as External Assets into a CHILI publisher document by creating asset filters in your 4ALLPORTAL GUI. Retrieved files can be filtered on a user-specific basis by mapping user data with your 4ALLPORTAL. A secure web token is used to encode and decode parameters or sensitive user data.
For external assets, we provide two endpoints:
/chili/api/directories
/chili/api/{filter}/assets?token={token}
# Connect via External Snippets
Retrieve data from different 4ALLPORTAL modules to create and use complex data models in a CHILI publisher document, e.g., if you need specific product data combined with marketing content and images.
# Connect via File Synchronization
Make 4ALLPORTAL files available in your CHILI publisher without configuring External Assets. Define a folder to synchronize with CHILI's own DAM feed in admin snap-in CHILI Publish Integration/Sync configuration
.
# Connect via DataSource
Select or upload databases for use with Variable Data by creating a DataSource filter in the CHILI Publisher and configuring a DataSource row mapping in your 4ALLPORTAL.
# How to Get These Improvements
