Interact with Frontify

Actions20

Overview

This node integrates with the Frontify platform, enabling users to interact programmatically with various Frontify resources such as assets, projects, folders, brands, creatives, and accounts. Specifically, for the Asset - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single asset by its unique identifier.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Fetching metadata and details of a specific digital asset stored in Frontify.
  • Retrieving asset preview URLs, tags, licenses, and permissions for use in automated workflows.
  • Integrating asset data into other systems or processes without manual lookup.

Practical example:

  • Automatically retrieve an image asset's preview URL and metadata after it has been uploaded, to display it in a custom dashboard or send it via email.

Properties

Additional Options Optional parameters including:
• Token (an additional token string, password type)

  • id: The asset's unique identifier.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Frontify API.
  • The node uses GraphQL queries and mutations to communicate with Frontify.
  • Optionally, the user can specify a custom Frontify domain URL.
  • No additional external services are required beyond access to the Frontify platform.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Asset ID: The operation requires a valid asset ID. Ensure the ID is correctly provided and corresponds to an existing asset.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key or token is missing, expired, or incorrect, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify that the correct access token is configured.
  • Network or domain issues: If using a custom domain, ensure the domain URL is correct and accessible.
  • Permission errors: The current user’s API token must have sufficient permissions to view the asset; otherwise, permission-related errors may occur.
  • GraphQL errors: Any malformed queries or unexpected API changes could cause errors. Review error messages for details and update the node or credentials accordingly.
