Smartsheet - Aviary Platform Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Smartsheet and Aviary Platform

1. Media Production Project Tracking Linked to Asset Status

Data flow: Aviary Platform ? Smartsheet

When media teams upload, tag, review, or approve video and audio assets in Aviary Platform, key status updates can automatically sync into Smartsheet project plans. This gives project managers a live view of production progress across campaigns, episodes, or content packages without manually checking the media system.

• Track asset milestones such as ingest, metadata completion, review, approval, and publish-ready status
• Reduce manual status reporting between creative and operations teams
• Improve visibility for producers, marketing managers, and stakeholders

2. Campaign Content Planning and Asset Delivery Coordination

Data flow: Smartsheet ? Aviary Platform

Marketing and content teams can manage campaign plans in Smartsheet and push approved content requests, due dates, and deliverable details into Aviary Platform. This helps media teams organize the right video and audio assets for each campaign and align production work with launch timelines.

• Send campaign briefs, deadlines, and asset requirements from Smartsheet to Aviary Platform
• Coordinate multiple deliverables across channels such as social, web, paid media, and events
• Ensure media teams work from a single source of truth for campaign priorities

3. Review and Approval Workflow for Rich Media Assets

Data flow: Bi-directional

Smartsheet can manage the approval workflow and stakeholder assignments, while Aviary Platform stores the media assets and metadata. Review comments, approval decisions, and revision requests can move between the two systems so business users can track approvals in Smartsheet while creative teams work in Aviary Platform.

• Assign reviewers and approvers in Smartsheet
• Store asset versions and metadata in Aviary Platform
• Capture approval outcomes and revision loops for auditability

4. Centralized Metadata and Work Intake for Media Requests

Data flow: Smartsheet ? Aviary Platform

Teams can use Smartsheet forms to collect media requests from business users, then pass structured request data into Aviary Platform for asset setup and processing. This is useful for organizations that need a controlled intake process for new video or audio content requests.

• Collect request details such as title, format, audience, usage rights, and deadline
• Automatically create or update media work items in Aviary Platform
• Standardize intake across departments such as marketing, communications, and training

5. Content Library Visibility for Portfolio and Program Management

Data flow: Aviary Platform ? Smartsheet

Program managers can pull asset library metrics from Aviary Platform into Smartsheet dashboards to monitor content production volume, turnaround times, and release readiness across initiatives. This supports executive reporting and portfolio oversight for media-heavy programs.

• Display counts of assets by status, type, or campaign
• Track cycle times from request to publish
• Provide leadership with operational reporting in Smartsheet dashboards

6. Automated Publishing Readiness Checks

Data flow: Bi-directional

Before content is handed off to CMS or distribution channels, Smartsheet can track readiness criteria while Aviary Platform confirms that required media files, metadata, and approvals are complete. This reduces publishing errors and prevents incomplete assets from moving downstream.

• Validate that all required fields and approvals are complete
• Flag missing metadata, rights information, or version issues
• Support controlled release processes for regulated or brand-sensitive content

7. Cross-Team Coordination for Event and Product Launch Media

Data flow: Bi-directional

For events and product launches, Smartsheet can manage the master timeline, dependencies, and task ownership, while Aviary Platform manages the associated video and audio assets such as teasers, speaker clips, demos, and recap content. Integration keeps launch teams aligned on both schedule and media readiness.

• Link launch milestones to specific media deliverables
• Track asset completion against event or launch deadlines
• Improve coordination between marketing, creative, and field teams

8. Exception Management for Missing or Delayed Media Assets

Data flow: Aviary Platform ? Smartsheet

If an asset is delayed, rejected, or missing required metadata in Aviary Platform, an exception can be created in Smartsheet for follow-up and escalation. This gives operations teams a structured way to manage blockers and keep production moving.

• Automatically create issue records for delayed or noncompliant assets
• Assign owners and due dates for remediation
• Improve accountability across media operations and project teams
