Relay:

The workflow automation system your Iconik system has been dreaming of.

Relay is the most powerful, flexible, and easy to use automation engine. Period.

Purpose built, dedicated to automating media workflows. Not adapted from another industry. Unlike rebranded solutions, you're not paying extra for someone else's software

With Relay you can replace existing legacy workflows or build entirely new ones. It was designed from the ground up to help you modernize your processes.

Don't bet on outdated on-premise solutions or cloud-only tools your organization isn't ready for. Build on Relay, run it on your current infrastructure, then move to the cloud or go hybrid when you're ready.

Manage and move files on your local storage, manipulate metadata, run custom scripts and more, all controlled by your Iconik or CatDV MAM system.

Relay runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
In your facility or in the cloud. Wherever you need to do work.

What does it do?

Relay gives you more than 3 dozen workflow functions to build with, hand chosen by the most experienced workflow designers in the MAM business.

Start: Trigger your workflows from Iconik or another system via Custom Actions or webhooks. You can also watch a folder that’s outside your ISG storage, or run a scheduled job (without configuring cron.)

Do Work: Then you can choose from a list of the most commonly used metadata & media functions: file operations (move, copy, S3 upload), asset management (create, update metadata), metadata ingest (JSON, XML, CSV), and scripting functions—all controlled from Relay's interface.

Track Status: Log to Relay's job list, sync results back to your MAM, or POST to any system with an API. Full visibility, your choice of systems.
