SharinPix Media Import feature allows the users to easily transfer any media content including images, documents and other files from Salesforce into SharinPix. Media sources can be Content Document, Attachment, and even external sources with a public URL.

After the import is completed, you will see the files in the SharinPix Album component on the Salesforce records.

• SharinPix Media Imports Object: This custom Salesforce object stores the details of the media files that need to be imported into SharinPix.
• Automated Sync: Once a record is inserted into the SharinPix Media Imports object, an automated batch process starts to synchronize the media files with SharinPix.

• The permission set SharinPix Media Import needs to be assigned to the users who will be using this feature.
• To be able to use this feature, you will need to grant API access to SharinPix. Link: Basic Setup - Step 2 - Register your Salesforce organization to SharinPix
