In this topic, we classify tasks into different types.

1. Adding files to artifact storage

In the most common scenario, you will need to render a personalized design that the user approves before checkout. To get this data from the project, use these tasks:

  • extract-project-design
  • extract-project-resource

You can also get an asset from the Asset Storage or download files from the specified link through these tasks:

  • extract-assets
  • download-files

All these tasks save the assets as artifacts.

2. Artifact processing

Input or output artifacts sometimes require additional processing.

For example, to populate your design with custom data, you can add these tasks:

  • invoke-dynamic-image
  • populate-design

To display full-size images instead of preview images from Depositphotos, you must first purchase them by completing the following task:

  • purchase-images-from-deposit-photos

To place designs on a larger sheet (imposition), use the following task:

  • produce-imposition

Combining pages into one print file can be performed by the following task:

  • merge-separate-pages

If you need to add markup to the print file, use these tasks:

  • combine-with-cut-pattern
  • draw-crop-marks

The processing results will be saved as artifacts.

3. Design rendering

The rendering of designs created in Customer's Canvas editors to print files can be performed by the task:

  • render-hires

If your design is a template for variable data printing (VDP), then use the following task.

  • render-vdp-hires

If you need to create preview images, use these tasks:

  • render-proof
  • render-preview
  • render-design-preview-with-mockup
  • render-image-preview-with-mockup

4. Delivering results

After rendering is completed, you can not only save the print files in the project but also send a notification about it and deliver it to an external system.

To notify:

  • invoke-url
  • send-email

To send the result outside of Customer's Canvas:

  • upload-to-ftp
  • upload-to-dropbox
  • upload-to-google-drive
  • export-to-ecommerce
  • export-to-order-desk

If you need to move the order to a specific folder in Order Desk, use the task:

  • change-group-in-order-desk

5. Configuring artifact properties

If you need to change the artifact name or other parameters, use these tasks:

  • configure-artifacts
  • set-artifact-names

6. Finalizing

To remove temporary artifacts and mark final ones, your pipeline must contain:

  • finalize
