Overview

AEM Edge Delivery Services is Adobe’s composable approach to building fast, high-impact web experiences. Edge Delivery decouples authoring from delivery, allowing content teams to author in familiar tools (Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or AEM) while serving pages from the edge for maximum performance. Gradial’s AI agents integrate with Edge Delivery Services environments to automate content creation, updates, and quality assurance across your Edge Delivery projects.

Prerequisites

  • An active AEM as a Cloud Service subscription with Edge Delivery Services enabled
  • A configured Edge Delivery project (GitHub-backed repository)
  • Admin access to Adobe Admin Console for service credential creation
  • Gradial account with admin permissions

Authentication

Edge Delivery Services uses the same Adobe IMS (Identity Management System) authentication as AEM as a Cloud Service. You will need a technical account with the appropriate permissions scoped to your Edge Delivery project. Refer to the AMS/AEM Cloud Service setup guide for instructions on generating IMS credentials.

Configuration Steps

1

Generate IMS Service Credentials

Follow the AEM Cloud credential setup guide to create a technical account and download the JSON credentials package from Adobe Developer Console.
2

Access Integrations in Gradial

In the Gradial app, go to Settings and click Integrations.
3

Add Your Edge Delivery Authoring URL

Enter the authoring URL for your Edge Delivery environment. This is typically your AEM Cloud author instance (e.g., https://author-p{programId}-e{environmentId}.adobeaemcloud.com).
4

Select AEM Cloud / IMS Authentication

Choose AMS/AEM Cloud Service as the integration type and upload the IMS credentials JSON package.
5

Configure Content Paths

Select the folder paths within your Edge Delivery project that Gradial will manage. For Edge Delivery, this typically corresponds to your content tree in AEM (e.g., /content/<your-site>).
6

Validate Permissions

Use the permission validation tool to confirm Gradial has the correct read/write access to your content paths.
7

Configure Live URL Domain Mapping

Map your AEM authoring paths to the live Edge Delivery URLs (e.g., https://<branch>--<repo>--<org>.hlx.page or your production domain).
8

Create an Environment

Combine your Edge Delivery integration with other integrations (ticketing, design tools) into a Gradial Environment.
9

Add the Environment to a Workspace

Assign the Environment to the appropriate Gradial Workspace to make it available to your content team.
