Workflow steps keep hosted video assets aligned with Streamcake live state—provision entries, sync metadata, publish origins, convert to replay, and remove safely.
Streamcake's Video Platform service connects the workflow engine to hosted video platform APIs. Operators store vendor credentials in encrypted service settings while steps create placeholder assets, push updated programme metadata, register the active streaming origin when contribution is ready, convert concluded live programmes into on-demand library entries with duration context, and delete platform-side resources when teardown is required. Lifecycle outcomes surface in stream event history alongside the stream URL field updated after successful origin propagation.

Features
Provision a new hosted video asset from stream metadata so the catalogue has a placeholder before contribution begins.
Push updated titles, descriptions, and editorial tags whenever producers change programme details in Streamcake.
Write the active streaming origin to the hosted asset when encoders report readiness so playback routes match the live path.
Signal the platform to finalise the live session and surface the programme as on-demand library content with duration context.
Permanently remove hosted video assets and related metadata when workflows require full cleanup, with irreversible behaviour surfaced to operators.
Keep the vendor credential pair only in encrypted service settings so automation authenticates without exposing secrets in operator views.
