Overview

Workflow automation with CreativeEditor SDK (CE.SDK) enables you to programmatically generate, manipulate, and export creative assets—at scale. Whether you’re creating thousands of localized ads, preparing platform-specific variants of a campaign, or populating print-ready templates with dynamic data, CE.SDK provides a flexible foundation for automation.

You can run automation entirely on the client, integrate it with your backend, or build hybrid “human-in-the-loop” workflows where users interact with partially automated scenes before export. The automation engine supports static pipelines, making it suitable for a wide range of publishing, e-commerce, and marketing applications. Video support will follow soon.

What Can Be Automated with CE.SDK#

CE.SDK supports a wide variety of automation use cases, including:

  • Design generation at scale: Create thousands of variants from a single template, such as product cards or regionalized campaigns.
  • Data-driven customization: Merge external data (e.g., CSV, JSON, APIs) into templates to personalize text, images, or layout.
  • Responsive output creation: Automatically resize designs and export assets in different aspect ratios or dimensions for various platforms.
  • Pre-export validation: Detect issues like empty placeholders or low-resolution images before generating final output.
  • Multimodal exporting: Automate delivery to multiple formats including JPG, PNG, PDF, and MP4.

Automation Contexts#

Headless / Server-Side Automation#

Server-side automation provides complete control over content generation without rendering a UI. This is ideal for background processing, such as creating assets in response to API requests or batch-generating print files for a mail campaign.

Client-Side vs. Backend-Supported Workflows#

Many automation workflows can run fully in the browser thanks to CE.SDK’s client-side architecture. However, a backend may be required for use cases involving:

  • Secure access to private assets
  • Large dataset lookups
  • Server-side template rendering
  • Scheduled or event-based triggers

Customization Capabilities#

CE.SDK gives you deep control over how your automation pipeline behaves:

Data Sources#

Connect to a variety of inputs:

  • Local or remote JSON
  • CSV files
  • REST APIs
  • CMS or PIM systems

Template Customization#

  • Define dynamic variables and conditional placeholders
  • Use reusable templates or generate them on-the-fly
  • Lock or constrain specific fields to preserve brand integrity

Design Rules#

Enforce visual and content constraints:

  • Brand-compliant colors and fonts
  • Overflow handling and text auto-resizing
  • Show/hide conditions and fallback logic

Output Formats#

CategorySupported Formats
Images.png (with transparency), .jpeg, .webp, .tga
Print.pdf (supports underlayer printing and spot colors)
Scene.scene (description of the scene without any assets)
Archive.zip (fully self-contained archive that bundles the .scene file with all assets)
