Overview
This node integrates with the Frontify platform to manage digital assets within libraries. Specifically, the Asset - List operation retrieves a list of assets from a selected library in Frontify. This is useful for workflows that need to fetch and process collections of digital assets such as images, documents, or other media stored in Frontify libraries.
Common scenarios include:
- Automating asset inventory or audits by listing all assets in a library.
- Triggering downstream processes like asset metadata updates or usage tracking based on the retrieved asset list.
- Integrating Frontify asset data into other systems or dashboards.
Example: You want to get all assets from a specific Frontify library to generate a report or sync them with another DAM system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Means of authenticating with Frontify; currently supports "Access Token" authentication. |
| Library | Choose the Frontify library from which to list assets. The options are dynamically loaded from available libraries in your Frontify account. |
| Additional Options | Optional parameters: • Token: An additional token string (password type). • Domain: The Frontify domain URL, defaulting to https://example.frontify.com. |
Output
The output JSON array contains objects representing each asset in the selected library. Each asset object includes at least:
id: The unique identifier of the asset.title: The title or name of the asset.
This minimal structure allows you to identify and reference assets for further processing. The node does not output binary data for this operation; it only returns metadata about the assets.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with Frontify via access token.
- Needs network access to the specified Frontify domain (default
https://example.frontify.com). - Uses GraphQL queries to interact with the Frontify API.
- The node dynamically loads available libraries from Frontify to populate the "Library" property options.
Troubleshooting
- Empty Asset List: If no assets are returned, verify that the selected library ID is correct and that the library contains assets.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure the provided access token is valid and has sufficient permissions to read assets.
- Network Issues: Confirm that the Frontify domain URL is reachable and correctly set if customized.
- API Rate Limits: If requests fail intermittently, check if Frontify API rate limits are being exceeded.
- Invalid Library Selection: If the library dropdown is empty or incorrect, try refreshing credentials or reloading the node to update available libraries.
Common error messages may include authorization failures or GraphQL query errors indicating invalid parameters. Resolving these typically involves checking credentials, input parameters, and network connectivity.
