Send: Clone

Clone: With the release of the StudioCDN web-application Senders now have the ability to Clone sent packages from Delivery Details for each non-draft / scheduled deliveries. Similar to Resend, clicking the Clone option allows Senders to replicate a previously sent delivery including recipients, assets, subject, body, and content settings. However whereas the Resend option replicates and sends the package to a single recipient in its entirety, the Clone option allows senders to edit every aspect of the delivery and send or schedule to all, any, or none of the original recipients.

Please Note*: The Clone option also appears under Delivery Details: Clone. Clone feature not available to StudioCDN Desktop Client users.

Send: What’s Required?

Requirements: To send a delivery with StudioCDN each package must contain the following three elements: Recipient(s), Asset(s), and Download Link. With the release of the StudioCDN web-application, deliveries in preparation undergo a continuous, “Flight Check*,” process to assure the three required elements (Recipient, Asset, and Download Link) are present during preparation.

Flight Check: Deliveries in preparation are displayed with the Send button in one of two states: RED or GREEN. Deliveries containing all three required elements will be displayed with a GREEN send button to indicate that the necessary elements for delivery are present and ready to be sent or scheduled. Deliveries not containing all necessary elements will have the Send button displayed in RED with an accompanying pop-up dialog identifying the missing element(s). Adding all missing elements as indicated by the onscreen Flight Check dialog will change the Send button from RED to GREEN indicating that the required elements are now present and the delivery is ready to be sent or scheduled.

*Please Note: Flight Check not available in the StudioCDN desktop application.
