The magic happens through simple "if this, then that" rules called [**Zaps**](https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496309697421-What-is-a-Zap). For example: "When a new video is uploaded to Frame.io, automatically create a share link to send to my team." That's it—no coding, no complex setup, just point-and-click simplicity. With over [7,000+ apps available](https://zapier.com/apps), Zapier turns repetitive, mundane tasks into automated workflows, giving you and your team more time to focus on the most important work. ## Why Use Frame.io with Zapier? Frame.io's [Zapier integration](https://zapier.com/apps/frameio-v4/integrations) brings the power of automation to your file workflows. Instead of manually checking for new uploads, copying links, or sending status updates, you can set up automated workflows that handle these tasks for you. **Popular automation examples:** * **New upload notifications**: Automatically notify your team in Slack when someone uploads a new video * **Project management sync**: Create tasks in Airtable when new Frame.io projects are created * **Client communication**: Send email updates to clients when their review is ready * **File organization**: Automatically save approved assets to Google Drive or Dropbox * **Status tracking**: Update project status in your CRM when comments are resolved ## Getting Started is Easier Than You Think **No coding knowledge required.** Zapier's visual interface guides you through each step: #### Choose your trigger "When this happens in Frame.io..." (like a new upload) #### Select your action "Do this in another app..." (like send a Slack message) #### Map your data Choose what information to share between apps #### Test and activate Zapier shows you exactly what will happen before going live The whole process takes just a few minutes, and Zapier provides helpful [templates](https://zapier.com/apps/frameio-v4/integrations#integrations) to get you started even faster. ## Setting Up Zapier Get up and running with our Zapier integration and connect Frame.io to hundreds of apps. ### Setup #### Sign up for Zapier Sign up for a [free Zapier account](https://zapier.com/apps/frameio-v4/integrations) #### Connect Frame.io Log into Zapier and create a Zap and add the Frame.io app to your Zap.

The testing step may show sample data that will be replaced by real data once you actually use the Zap. #### Publish Once you're satisfied with the configuration, click "Publish" to activate your Zap! ## Available Triggers and Actions ### Available Triggers The V4 integration supports the following webhook-based triggers: #### File Events * **File Created**: Triggers when a file is first created * **File Ready**: Triggers when file processing is complete * **File Upload Completed**: Triggers when file upload finishes #### Comment Events * **Comment Created**: Triggers when a new comment is added * **Comment Updated**: Triggers when a comment is modified * **Comment Completed**: Triggers when a comment is resolved #### Project Events * **Project Created**: Triggers when a new project is created #### Metadata Events * **Metadata Value Updated**: Triggers when custom metadata field values change ### Available Actions #### File & Folder Management * **Create Folder**: Create a new folder in a project * **Upload File From URL**: Upload a file from a publicly available URL #### Comment Management * **Create Comment**: Add a new comment to a file * **Update Comment**: Modify an existing comment #### Workspace Management * **Create Workspace**: Create a new workspace in an account * **Create Share**: Create a new share link #### Search Actions * **Show Comment**: Get comment details * **Find Project**: Search for projects by name * **Show File**: Retrieve detailed file information * **Show Project Details**: Get comprehensive project details ## Frame.io Resource Fields in Zapier When working with triggers like "File Created" or "Comment Created," you'll see many fields that provide rich context about the events and resources. ### File Fields > **Info** > > **File URLs are secure and direct**: The V4 integration provides direct links to Frame.io's asset storage. When you have a choice between "File Attachment" and "File Attachment (URL)" in other apps, choose the URL option as it generally supports larger files and more file types. Key file fields include: * `Original Download URL` - Direct download link to the original uploaded file * `High Quality Download URL` - Download link for high-quality proxy version * `Thumbnail Download URL` - Download link for the file thumbnail * `File Name` - Complete filename including extension * `File Type Category` - Categorized type: "video", "image", "audio", "document", or "other" * `Creator Name` and `Creator Email` - Information about who uploaded the file * `Project Name` and `Project ID` - Project context information ### Comment Fields Key comment fields include: * `Comment Text` - The text content of the comment * `Comment Author Name` and `Comment Author Email` - Who left the comment * `Timestamp` - Frame number for time-based comments (for videos) * `File ID` - ID of the file the comment was left on * `Project Name` and `Project ID` - Project context ### Project Fields Key project fields include: * `Project Name` and `Project ID` - Basic project information * `Root Folder ID` - ID of the project's root folder * `Storage Usage` - Storage used by the project in bytes * `View URL` - Direct link to view the project in Frame.io * `Workspace ID` and `Account ID` - Organizational context ## Building Custom Zaps If you prefer to build a custom workflow from scratch or need something more specific than our templates offer: #### Start a New Zap Go to the Zapier homepage and click "Create" then "New Zap" #### Select Your Trigger Choose the trigger action, which can be Frame.io or any other Zapier integration #### Complete Your Workflow Add the actions and configure the steps according to your specific needs #### Share Your Zaps Remember that Zaps can be shared with team members and collaborators for consistent workflows across your organization ## Migrating from Legacy to V4 Frame.io's V4 Zapier integration brings significant improvements while maintaining feature parity with our legacy version. ### Making the Switch > **Warning** > > **For Existing Users**: If you're currently using the legacy Frame.io Zapier integration, your existing Zaps will only work with the legacy version of Frame.io. Once you've upgraded your Frame.io Account to V4, you'll need to rebuild your integrations using the Frame.io V4 Zapier integration. > **Info** > > **For New Users**: Always choose the **Frame.io V4** integration when creating new Zaps. It's the current, actively maintained version with all the latest improvements. ### Key Terminology Changes The most noticeable change is in our language around content organization: | Legacy Term | V4 Term | | ------------------------ | ------------------------- | | "Asset" | "File" or "File & Folder" | | "Asset Created" | "File Created" | | "Asset Ready" | "File Ready" | | "Asset Upload Completed" | "File Upload Completed" | **Why the change?** The term "File" is more universally understood and accurately describes what you're working with—whether it's a video, image, document, or any other file type. ## Tips for Success #### Start Simple Begin with one of our templates to get familiar with how Frame.io and Zapier work together #### Test Thoroughly Always test your Zaps before publishing, especially when working with file uploads or webhooks #### Use Rich Data Take advantage of Frame.io's comprehensive data fields to create more intelligent automations #### Plan for Scale Consider how your workflows will perform as your team and project volume grows ## Need More Help? > **Warning** > > **Need a Missing Feature?** Our goal is to match all features between Legacy and V4, but if you notice something missing or need additional functionality, reach out to us! ### How to Reach Out * **Community Forum**: Post in our [Frame.io Community](https://forum.frame.io/) for feature requests * **Support Team**: Contact our support team directly through the Frame.io app When requesting features or reporting issues, please describe: * The specific workflow you're trying to achieve * Any errors you're seeing or where you're getting stuck * Whether this worked in the legacy version or if this is a new V4-specific feature ## Ready to Automate? The best part about automation is that you start small and grow from there. Begin with one simple workflow, like getting notified when someone comments on your project, and expand as you see the time-saving benefits. Your apps are already doing great work. Now let them work together to do even more. > **Note** > > Ready to dive in?
