Introduction

When you set up a workflow, videos uploaded to the specified bucket and directory will automatically be processed accordingly, and the output videos will be uploaded to the specified bucket and directory. Workflows can be configured to include tasks such as transcoding, screencapturing, animated image generating, and watermarking.

Creating a Workflow

1. Log in to the MPS Console and click Workflow Management on the left sidebar.
2. Click Create Workflow to enter the workflow creation page and set the workflow name, trigger bucket, trigger directory, output bucket, output directory, event notification and configuration items.
   
   • Workflow name
     This field is required and can contain up to 128 letters, digits, and underscores (_). The workflow name must be unique.
   • Trigger bucket
     • This field is required. You can select a bucket created under the current APPID as the trigger bucket.
     • When a workflow is enabled, video files uploaded to this bucket will automatically trigger execution of the workflow.
   • Trigger directory
     This field is optional and must end with a slash (/). If it is left blank, the workflow will take effect for all directories in the trigger bucket.
   • Output bucket
     • This field is required and will be the same as the trigger bucket by default. You can select a bucket under the current APPID in the same region as the trigger bucket as the output bucket.
     • After a workflow is completed, the output video file will be stored in this bucket.
   • Output directory
     This field is optional and must end with a slash (/). If it is left blank, the output directory will be the same as the triggered directory.
   • Event notification
     • Event notifications are disabled by default. When enabled, you can select the queue model or topic model in CMQ model settings and set the model name and region. MPS event notifications will then be sent to the specified CMQ queue or topic.
     • Event notification to CMQ is available only after you activate the CMQ service and create a queue model or topic model. For more information, please see CMQ.
   • Configuration items
     Available tasks include transcoding, screencapturing, or animated image generating. You must select at least one for the workflow. For more information, please see Task Configuration Description.
