NewsCred
Add NewsCred to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a NewsCred integration so your product can work with the content a marketing team already plans and stores in their content marketing platform. NewsCred, since rebranded as Welcome and now sold as Optimizely's content marketing platform, holds content items and their versions, an asset library, the editorial calendar, and the tasks and approvals a piece moves through before it is published. Each customer authorises their own account, so access runs under their own grant and their existing content permissions apply rather than being widened by your integration. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, retries, pagination and API upkeep, and the same governed connection is what your AI agents use.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each customer connect their own account so content items and assets are reachable inside your product with no per-customer code.
Create or update a content item from your product so a draft your workflow produced enters the team's own editorial process.
Read the editorial calendar and approval state per tenant so your product can show what is scheduled without a second tool.
File assets your product generates into the customer's own library so they stay under their permissions and versioning.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent finds the approved version of a piece of content and reports where it sits in the workflow, reading only that tenant's account.
An agent drafts a content item and files it for review within scoped permissions, with the write logged.
An agent summarises what a team has scheduled for the next month from their own calendar records.
Example prompt
What content is scheduled for next month, and which pieces are still waiting on approval?

Why teams use the NewsCred integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a NewsCred integration without building it. Your customers connect their own NewsCred account inside your product and work their files, documents and versions there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: permissions and versioning are easy to get subtly wrong, and mistakes expose content. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a NewsCred update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed NewsCred connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you let your product work with your customers' documents in place without wiring it twice.

AsanaNewsCred integration FAQ
How do I add a NewsCred integration to my product?
Enable the NewsCred connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own NewsCred account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no NewsCred client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own NewsCred account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own NewsCred account and only ever sees their own files, documents and versions. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this NewsCred integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent finds the approved version of a piece of content and reports where it sits in the workflow, reading only that tenant's account.
Who maintains the NewsCred integration?
fastn does. When NewsCred changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Whose permissions does the NewsCred integration run under?
Each customer's own NewsCred grant. Where NewsCred holds a library, their existing folder and item permissions apply and your product cannot reach content the connected account could not reach itself. Where it processes content you supply rather than storing it, the call runs under that customer's own credentials and is logged per tenant.
Can my product create or update content in NewsCred automatically?
Where NewsCred supports writes, documents, entries and assets can be created, updated and filed from your product or by an agent within scoped permissions, with each action logged. Where it is a read surface, the same connection serves reads only.
What can I build with the NewsCred integration?
A common starting point: let each customer connect their own account so content items and assets are reachable inside your product with no per-customer code. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the NewsCred integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding NewsCred does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
