New Features

New PowerFlow block: Export Metadata to CSV

The new Export Metadata to CSV block generates a CSV file listing assets and their structured metadata values in a readable format. The block outputs the generated file's details, including its public ID and secure URL.

New PowerFlow block: Generate Alt Text

The new Generate Alt Text block generates SEO-friendly alt text for an image using Cloudinary AI Vision, and saves it to the asset's contextual metadata in one or more selected languages.

This block streamlines a workflow that previously required multiple blocks: it analyzes the image, generates appropriate alt text, translates it into multiple languages if needed, and saves it to contextual metadata, all in a single step. This consolidation simplifies your flows and reduces the number of blocks needed to add accessible, SEO-optimized descriptions to your assets across multiple languages.

Error paths for PowerFlow blocks

You can now add error paths to individual blocks in your PowerFlows. When a block fails, provided the error is recoverable, the flow continues along the error path instead of stopping, enabling you to handle errors gracefully by logging them, sending notifications, or taking alternative actions.

Error paths are available for all blocks except Triggers and Flow Logic blocks.

Enhancements

Set favorite flows

You can now mark flows as favorites by clicking the star icon next to any flow on the Home or Flows page. Favorite flows always appear at the top of the list, regardless of your selected sort order.

Your favorite flows are personal to you and don't affect other users in your product environment.

New PowerFlow templates

Templates provide inspiration and help you discover the various use cases that PowerFlows can solve. We've redesigned the Templates page and added more templates to help you get started.

To view all the templates, either click the Templates tab, or from the MediaFlows Home page, click the Start with a template card.

Look out for more improvements to templates coming soon.

Learn about templates

Sync from Assets: Manually trigger syncs from the Media Library, providing parameters (SKU, asset family, attribute) at runtime. Ideal when users need full control over which assets to sync.
Sync on structured metadata change: Automatically trigger syncs when users update a status field in structured metadata. Perfect for defined workflows where teams prepare asset metadata before syncing.
Scheduled retry for failed syncs: Periodically search for and retry assets stuck in a "requires link" state, providing a safety net for failed syncs.
