# AEM Edge Delivery Services

> Connect Gradial's AI agents to Adobe Experience Manager Edge Delivery Services for high-performance content delivery.

## Overview

[AEM Edge Delivery Services](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/edge-delivery/overview) 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](/docs/integrations-administration-and-setup/integrations/aem/aem-cloud) for instructions on generating IMS credentials.

## Configuration Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Generate IMS Service Credentials">
    Follow the [AEM Cloud credential setup guide](/docs/integrations-administration-and-setup/integrations/aem/aem-cloud) to create a technical account and download the JSON credentials package from Adobe Developer Console.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Access Integrations in Gradial">
    In the Gradial app, go to **Settings** and click **Integrations**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select AEM Cloud / IMS Authentication">
    Choose **AMS/AEM Cloud Service** as the integration type and upload the IMS credentials JSON package.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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>`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Validate Permissions">
    Use the permission validation tool to confirm Gradial has the correct read/write access to your content paths.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an Environment">
    Combine your Edge Delivery integration with other integrations (ticketing, design tools) into a Gradial Environment.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Environment to a Workspace">
    Assign the Environment to the appropriate Gradial Workspace to make it available to your content team.
  </Step>
