The Storyteq integration enables Frontify customers to easily create and distribute on-brand video content. Create video templates from scratch in Storyteq’s online editor, or upload an existing video file via the After Effects plugin, where you can upload your content directly from the Frontify Libraries.

The videos are pushed straight to Frontify and made available for your end-users to create their own variations within the Frontify platform through the simple embedded web-based editor - with no design or video production skills necessary. Through parameters set in your template, end users can replace video and image content, text, colors, and more, while staying on-brand. Read more to get started.

Connecting your Storyteq account with Frontify

To establish a connection between your Frontify Media Library and Storyteq, you will need to ensure you first have an account with Storyteq. Once you are a subscriber, you can contact our support team to have this integration turned on.

Once the integration is turned on in Frontify, you will be able to log into your Storyteq dashboard and go into your connected accounts, where you can enable Frontify as an integration to turn on.

Storyteq Connect Flow:

When you create your Storyteq account, you should receive an API key from Storyteq’s support team;
Provide this API key to Frontify’s support team to enable the Storyteq integration in Frontify;
In the Storyteq dashboard, navigate to the 'Connect' menu (socket) on the left side of the screen;
Click on the 'Frontify' side tab;
Enter and authenticate the Storyteq API Key;
Your profile is now connected!
To add more profiles, select 'Connect another profile...' and follow step 3 again. From the cogwheel next to your email, you can rename your profile so it doesn't show your email address, or disconnect your profile.
To add Frontify Libraries, select the connected profile, press 'Add Frontify Library' (only Frontify libraries that you have been granted access to will show on the list), and select the library you wish to link.

Uploading media from Storyteq to Frontify

Once Frontify is connected to Storyteq, you can set up your profile and the libraries you wish to connect to in Frontify.

Uploading Frontify Media:

Once media is created in Storyteq, you can upload it to Frontify;
In Storyteq select the media you need to upload into Frontify;
Click on 'Upload to channel...';
Click on 'Frontify' on the popup window;
Select the profile and Frontify Library you would like to upload media to;
Select the output format (main or thumbnail);
Select the library within Frontify you would like it uploaded to;
Click on 'Upload';
Your media is now on Frontify! You can find your uploaded assets in the Frontify section you selected.

Create your on-brand video template in Storyteq

Now that your libraries are connected, you can easily fetch assets from Frontfiy to create media in Storyteq.

Fetching Frontify assets for media creation:

Open up a Template in the Template Section and click on ‘Create Media’ or ‘Create Batch’;
Click on the section/open field (such as Background, Images, …), where you need to enter an asset;
Navigate to the ‘Frontify’ tab on the top of the pop-up window;
Enter your Frontify API Key if requested;
Select the asset you need from Frontify;
Click on Upload File.

Publish your video template to Frontify

Once you have your first video media created, you can publish it directly to Frontify, so that your end users can view it as a video template they can start to use in Frontify.
