To set up Automation inside of CaptionHub, first you need to create an Automation template.

1. First, navigate to Automation, available from the sidebar
2. Enter a name for your Automation template in the Template name box, and click the Create template button
3. You’ll then see a series of tabs, which you’ll need to fill in, according to what you’d like to automate

Automation

Configure the triggers or set of actions you’d like CaptionHub to take at various stages of your captioning process.

Project source:

• API or UI – select this if the source for your media will be via API or UI upload
• Brightcove – select this if you’d like the template to apply to media coming from Brightcove. You’ll need to set up the Brightcove connector first. When Brightcove is selected, you have the option to automatically import All new media or Tagged media.
  • All new media will automatically import any new video you upload to Brightcove into CaptionHub. The timestamp for this is taken from the point at which the automation was made active.
  • Tagged media will import all videos which match the tag you define. You can set up powerful workflows with this option, triggering different workflows with different tags. Tags cannot include commas, underscore or special characters (e.g.: +).
• JWPlayer – select this if you’d like the template to apply to media coming from JWPlayer. You’ll need to set up the JWPlayer connector first.
  • All new media will automatically import any new video you upload to Brightcove into CaptionHub. The timestamp for this is taken from the point at which the automation was made active.
