Integrate Google Vision within your DAM

Add the generated Google Cloud Platform API generated into the Catalo Settings in your DAM, go to Settings>Database> and select the "catalogsettings" table and add a new record with id: googleapikey

Now, to enable the Google Vision event in your DAM go to Settings>Scheduler>Events. Select assets from the dropdown menu and click on the Apply Google Vision event.

Make sure it has a valid time period and that it's enabled, then hit the save button. The event will come enabled by default, with a running period of 1 minute.

Depending on the chosen period, your event will send a copy of your asset to the Google API, which will respond with a list of tags that will be assigned to each asset sent under the "Google Tags" metadata field.
