Ziflow - Preservica Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Ziflow and Preservica

Ziflow is an online proofing and approval platform that helps creative and marketing teams review content faster, while Preservica is a digital preservation platform used to store, manage, and preserve long-term digital assets and records. Together, they can support a controlled content lifecycle from active review through to compliant long-term retention.

1. Approved creative assets are archived into Preservica after final sign-off

Flow: Ziflow to Preservica

When a creative asset reaches final approval in Ziflow, the approved version, proof history, annotations, and approval metadata can be automatically transferred to Preservica for long-term preservation. This is useful for regulated industries, brand governance teams, and organizations that need a complete audit trail of published content.

• Reduces manual downloading and filing of final assets
• Preserves evidence of approval for compliance and legal review
• Creates a trusted archive of final creative outputs

2. Preservation records are linked back into Ziflow for review context

Flow: Preservica to Ziflow

When a preserved asset in Preservica is selected for re-use, rebranding, or audit review, a copy or reference link can be sent into Ziflow for stakeholder review. This allows teams to compare historical versions, review legacy content, and approve updates without searching across multiple repositories.

• Speeds up rework on archived campaigns and legacy materials
• Provides reviewers with the correct source version and context
• Supports controlled reuse of approved historical content

3. Final approved campaign packages are preserved with full version history

Flow: Ziflow to Preservica

For campaign launches, product releases, or public communications, Ziflow can send the final approved package to Preservica, including the final artwork, copy, and supporting proof data. This creates a complete record of what was approved and when, which is valuable for auditability and content governance.

• Maintains a permanent record of campaign deliverables
• Supports legal discovery and regulatory inquiries
• Reduces risk of losing final approved content after project closure

4. Expired or retired content is moved from active review to preservation

Flow: Ziflow to Preservica

Once a piece of content is no longer active in the review cycle, Ziflow can trigger transfer to Preservica based on status, project completion, or retention policy. This is especially useful for organizations managing large volumes of marketing, training, or public-facing content that must be retained but no longer needs active collaboration.

• Keeps Ziflow focused on active work only
• Ensures retired content is retained according to policy
• Improves content lifecycle management across teams

5. Compliance teams can retrieve approved proof records from Preservica during audits

Flow: Preservica to Ziflow

During audits or legal reviews, compliance teams can access preserved proof records, approval comments, and timestamps from Preservica to verify that content followed the required review process. If needed, the preserved record can be surfaced back into Ziflow for easy stakeholder inspection.

• Provides defensible evidence of approval workflows
• Speeds up audit response and legal hold support
• Improves transparency across marketing, legal, and compliance teams

6. Brand asset libraries are synchronized between active proofing and long-term archive

Flow: Bi-directional

Organizations can use Ziflow for active review of brand assets while Preservica serves as the authoritative long-term archive. Metadata such as asset name, campaign, owner, approval status, and retention classification can be synchronized so teams know which version is current and which version is preserved.

• Prevents version confusion between working and archived assets
• Improves governance over brand-controlled materials
• Supports enterprise content lifecycle policies

7. Regulated content approvals are preserved with retention metadata and audit trail

Flow: Ziflow to Preservica

For regulated content such as financial disclosures, healthcare communications, or public sector materials, Ziflow can pass approval timestamps, reviewer identities, and final asset versions into Preservica along with retention metadata. This ensures the organization retains a complete compliance record for the required retention period.

• Supports regulatory retention requirements
• Captures who approved what and when
• Reduces manual compliance documentation effort

8. Historical approved content is reused safely for new campaigns

Flow: Preservica to Ziflow

Marketing and creative teams can retrieve approved historical assets from Preservica and send them into Ziflow for adaptation, localization, or refresh review. This helps teams reuse trusted content while still routing changes through the proper approval process.

• Accelerates campaign production using approved source materials
• Reduces risk of using unapproved or outdated content
• Improves consistency across regions and channels
