CloudinaryCloudinary Integration & Approval Workflow Automation
Run Cloudinary on autopilot. Keep the veto.
109 actions
Cloudinary organizes and delivers images, video, and live streams via CDN. Rills queues resource publishes, deletions, and live stream changes for approval before they reach audiences.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential design action from Cloudinary arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.
Queue (3)
Delete 47 assets tagged 'Q3-expired'?
47 assets · last modified > 90d
No asset used in active campaigns (scanned via CDN referrers)
Same pattern as last month's quarterly archive
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, and no surprise send you find out about after it's already out the door.
Clear runs stop waiting on you.
Every run is scored against your review step. The ones that clearly match your judgment run above your threshold without a tap; the borderline ones still come to the queue. Autonomy is earned run by run, never switched on for good.
About Cloudinary automation
When a script renames 40 product images at midnight, or a rep publishes a campaign video without the final watermark, the fallout lands in the production CDN before anyone sees a ticket. Design teams and RevOps both feel the asymmetry: one automated step can undo a quarter's worth of creative alignment.
When Cloudinary runs unsupervised
Workflow actions that alter or expose media assets hit the CDN without a safety net.
- Publish resources: A draft video gets pushed live and appears in your customer gallery before the final cut is approved.
- Delete resources by public ID: A cleanup job removes the hero image from the current campaign, leaving a 404 on the pricing page.
- Delete resources by tags: A tag sweep erases every asset tagged 'spring-sale', taking down banners across email and web simultaneously.
- Rename or move resource public ID: Changing a filename breaks every embed, link, and transformation URL referencing it.
- Create live stream: A new live event goes live before the stream key is configured, broadcasting placeholder content to subscribers.
What Rills does inside Cloudinary
Rills intercepts the actions that change what reaches the CDN: publish, delete, rename, stream create, and idle. Each proposal waits in a queue until someone with context swipes approval — no more automated publishes that nobody saw.
The rename still runs; you just see it first.
Why Cloudinary has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Cloudinary doesn't fire workflow triggers when an asset changes or gets deleted, so Rills can't react to in-app events. Instead, it pairs with scheduled or upstream triggers in your stack to catch every action that leaves the CDN exposed.
- Scheduled batch reviews: Run a workflow each evening that fetches assets in moderation (Get Resources in Moderation) and surfaces any content waiting for approval.
- Upstream triggers from marketing or CRM: Trigger off a campaign launch in your automation tool, have the workflow list resources by tag (List Resources by Tag), and queue a publish review before the email goes out.
- Pre-stream check: Before a live event, a scheduled workflow runs Create Live Stream or Idle Live Stream, and Rills holds the creation or idle action until someone confirms the stream configuration is correct.
- Cleanup safety net: A recurring workflow that proposes deleting resources by tag or public ID, but holds them for approval — letting you approve Cloudinary cleanups without fearing a campaign wipe.
