Editor embedding

This app workflow is designed to integrate with the Creatopy editor. It allows users to start a session in the Creatopy editor (AdStudio or LightEditor) while already logged in, directly from a link click.

To access this workflow, the integrating client must provide a JWT as an entry point. This token should contain the clientId, userId (for session impersonation), and an action defining what the session will do before redirecting the user to editor mode. All of this must be signed with the secret.

The clientId and secret pair are created in Creatopy under Team Settings/API credentials.

You can generate the token using the NodeJS script:

// nodejs
import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken';

const clientId = 'yourClientId'; // Replace with your actual clientId
const secret = 'yourSecret';     // Replace with your secret key

// Create the payload
const payload = {
  clientId,
  userId,
  action: {
    type: "create_blank_design",
    sizes: [{"width": 111, "height": 111}],
    projectId: 100,
    folderId: 111, // this is optional
    editorMode: "adstudio"
  }
};

// Sign the payload to create a JWT
const token = jwt.sign(payload, secret);

// Construct the URL
const url = `https://app.creatopy.com/token-auth/${token}`;

console.log(url);

or for testing purposes, you can use a JWT playground like the one from https://jwt.io/ where you can generate manually the token. To start the session just add the generated token to the Creatopy app https://app.creatopy.com/token-auth/${token}

The editor can be embedded in iframe too here's how: Iframe embedding

Actions for the session

To start a session, you need to provide an action type. Currently, we support four actions: create_design_from_template, create_blank_design, edit_design, and get_share_link. To call these actions, add the action/type field in the JWT. Each action has a set of specific parameters, which are explained for each type below.

"action": {
    "type": "create_design_from_template",
}

Edit design

This action will create a new design from an already existing design (template).

Parameters for this action:

hash - The hash of the template (design or custom template)

editorMode - Which editor to open in the session ("adStudio" or "light-editor")

{
  "clientId": "YOUR-CLIENT_ID",
  "userId": userId,
  "action": {
    "type": "edit_design",
    "hash": "template-hash",
    "editorMode": "adstudio" | "light-editor"
  }
}

name - The name I want the design to have (Optional)

projectId - ID of the project in which we want this design to be created

folderId - ID of the folder in which we want this design to be created (optional)

editorMode - Which editor to open in the session ("adStudio" or "light-editor")

{
  "clientId": "YOUR-CLIENT_ID",
  "userId": userId,
  "action": {

    "name": "My design name",
    "hash": "template-hash",
    "projectId": your-project-id,
    "folderId": your-folder-id, // this is optional
    "editorMode": "adstudio" | "light-editor"
  }
}

Create blank design

This action will create a new blank design.

Parameters for this action:

sizes - An array of sizes for the design

name - The name I want the design to have (Optional)

projectId - ID of the project where the design will be created

folderId - ID of the folder where the design will be created (optional)

editorMode - Editor to open in the session ("adStudio" only)

{
  "clientId": "YOUR-CLIENT_ID",
  "userId": userId,
  "action": {
    "type": "create_blank_design",
    "name": "My design",
    "sizes": [{"width": 111, "height": 111}],
    "projectId": your-project-id,
    "folderId": your-folder-id, // this is optional
    "editorMode": "adstudio"
  }
}

Get share link

This action will get you the shared link for a design or a folder based on the provided parameters, if you give a designHash, you will get a shared link for a design. And, if you give a folderId, you will get a shared link for a folder. One of these parameters must be provided.

Parameters for this action:

designHash - The hash of the design that you want its share link (could be undefined if you provide folderId)

folderId - The if of the folder that you want its share link (could be undefined if you provide designHash)

{
  "clientId": "YOUR-CLIENT_ID",
  "userId": userId,
  "action": {
    "type": "get_share_link",
    "designHash": "design-hash", // mandatory for a design share link
    "folderId": 1234 // mandatory for a folder share link
  }
}

Flow: Create from Url (BETA)

This action will start the flow of creating a design from a URL using AI

folderId - ID of the folder where the design will be created (optional)

{ 
	type: 'nextgen_flow_create_from_url', 
	projectId: 100,
	folderId: 124 // this param is optional
}

Flow: Create from a template (BETA)

This action will start the flow of creating a design from the template

Parameters for this action:

projectId - ID of the project where the design will be created

folderId - ID of the folder where the design will be created (optional)

	type: 'nextgen_flow_create_from_template', 
	projectId: 100,
	folderId: 124 // this param is optional
}

Flow: Create from assets (BETA)

This action will start the flow of creating design from assets (logo, images etc.)

	projectId: 100,
	folderId: 124 // this param is optional
}

Session Configuration

The sessionConfig object allows users to customize their white-label session by enabling or disabling certain features like design download and share link comments. By providing this configuration in their JWT token, end users can control session behavior based on their specific needs.

Object Structure

{
  "sessionConfig": {
    "useDownload": true,
    "useShareLinkComments": true
  }
}

Properties

PropertyTypeDefaultRequiredDescription

useDownload

Boolean

false

No

Enables or disables the option to download design within the session. If true, download functionality is available; if false, it is disabled.

useShareLinkComments

Boolean

false

No

Enables or disables the option to add comments to share links within the session. If true, comments are allowed; if false, they are not.

Usage

To configure these session options, include the sessionConfig object in the payload of your JWT token. This configuration will then be applied to the session.

{
  "clientId": "YOUR-CLIENT_ID",
  "userId": userId,
  "action": {
    "type": "edit_design",
    "hash": "template-hash",
    "editorMode": "adstudio" | "genstudio"
  },
  "sessionConfig": {
    "useDownload": false,
    "useShareLinkComments": true
  }
}

In this example:

  • useDownload: false disables downloads for the session.

  • useShareLinkComments: true enables comments on shared links.

Notes

  • Optional Properties: Both useDownload and useShareLinkComments are optional. If not provided, default values are applied, disallowing both downloads and share link comments.

  • You can start your session without the sessionConfig provided and the default values will also be applied in this case.
