Creative Force enables you to deliver finalized assets to multiple destinations directly from your Workflow. Delivery locations are configured at the Workspace level and can be selected within your Workflow's Asset Delivery Step to automatically route your approved images to the appropriate platform or storage solution.
Enable Connector
Setting up specific connectors as an Asset Delivery Location requires first enabling the connector. For instructions on this step, please see our related article here.
Add New Delivery Option
To add a new Delivery Location, go to Studio Settings > Workspaces > ‘Edit’ Workspace > Delivery Options > Then, select ‘Add’
Delivery Locations are specific to the Workspace, Content Creation Type, and Asset Type. If multiple are needed, a separate location for each will need to be set.
For Example, if it's required to send assets to an FTP for 2 unique Workspaces, and those assets will be of both image/video and text type assets, a total of 4 delivery locations will need to be set up.
FTP Workspace A: Image/Video
FTP Workspace A: Text
FTP Workspace B: Image/Video
FTP Workspace B: Text

Test Delivery Location
Before saving, you can test Creative Force’s connection to the delivery location via the ‘Test’ button near the bottom of the menu.
Test Failed
If your connection test fails, it means there is something incorrect with the current connection configuration. You can hover over the test icon to see more information on why the failure has occurred.
Test Successful
If your connection test is successful, Creative Force was able to connect to the delivery location as expected. Hit ‘Save’ to complete the setup for the delivery location.
Add to Productions
Add to Workflows
Once your Delivery Location has been successfully saved, you will find it as an available option when adding Delivery Options to the Asset Delivery step of your Workflows.
