Workflow

Chain KRONOS DRIVE operations together and automate them

Is routine work eating up your time? Connect the capabilities of KRONOS DRIVE — video editing, video conversion, caption editing, caption conversion, delivery package creation, approvals, platform delivery, and more — to build your own automated flows.

Hand it off to a workflow, then just wait

Build custom workflows with actions built for the media industry

File management as actions

Run a wide range of operations on files uploaded to KRONOS DRIVE. By combining operations into workflows, you can automate and streamline everything up to platform delivery.

Editing as actions

What do you do when you have a huge library of content and need to apply the same edits to all of it? With preset management and workflows, you can process large volumes of video in a single batch.

Notifications as actions

Send email or webhook notifications at exactly the right moments — when a file is uploaded, when an approval is completed, and more.

Features

Workflow controls that feel intuitive

Worried that workflow tools are hard to use? With the KRONOS DRIVE workflow feature, there is no need for concern. We built a visual UI that anyone can understand at a glance.

Create and edit workflows

Create new workflows or edit existing ones. You can also define default values of your choice and use them in your workflows.
Basic operations
  • Create
  • Edit
  • Set default values for input parameters
  • Delete

Configure triggers

Set triggers that start a workflow based on criteria such as folder location and file format.
Available triggers (partial list)
  • A file is placed in a specified folder (you can also match specific file formats or strings)
  • A catalog content item is created

Review execution history

See workflow results at a glance in a list view, so even if an error occurs mid-run you can spot it immediately. You can also review execution results intuitively alongside a flow diagram, and drill into detailed results for each action.
What you can review (partial list)
  • A list of execution runs
  • The output of a single workflow run
  • Actions where errors occurred

Run workflows manually

Start a workflow by hand by setting the input parameters for each of its actions.
Handy when
  • A file comes in a different format than usual, but you want to apply the same processing
  • You want to run a workflow again with a different output destination

Use cases

How about automation like this?

Caption conversion use case

Automatically convert broadcast caption files to web streaming formats on upload

When a broadcast caption file is placed in a pre-designated KRONOS DRIVE folder, it is automatically converted to a web-friendly format such as WebVTT and output to the location you specify.

Platform delivery use case

Automatically deliver uploaded video files to multiple streaming platforms

When a video file is uploaded to KRONOS DRIVE, a workflow can wait for the other files needed for delivery, such as thumbnails, then build delivery packages for each streaming platform and carry out delivery — all without stopping.
