If you work with Autodesk Platform Services (APS), pipeline integrations, or production workflows around Flow Production Tracking (formerly ShotGrid), there is a growing collection of technical articles available in the Autodesk community, that you may have missed or not aware of.
Over the last months, the ADN team has been publishing a series of articles covering practical topics around production pipeline development, Toolkit integrations, automation workflows, APIs, and pipeline maintenance for Flow Production Tracking. Many APS integrations eventually connect with production tracking workflows, automation systems, asset management, publishing, review processes, or DCC integrations.
Topics currently covered
The articles include toolkit configuration management, events, webhooks, automation, troubleshooting tips and python samples. Here are some examples already published in the community forum:
- Events in Flow Production Tracking - Part 1 / Part 2
- New entities: Episodes, seasons, levels and sets
- Tank command within centralised config
- Updating tools and apps - Part 1 / Part 2
- Flow Production Tracking REST API: Download a Note thumbnail
- Integrating Mayapy with FPTR toolkit engine
The goal is to complement the official documentation with practical guidance and examples that can help teams build and maintain more robust production pipelines.
Where to find them
In Flow PTR Community Forum the articles are tagged with "adn-articles", and you can find them in the Toolkit category: https://community.shotgridsoftware.com/tag/adn-articles/
Remenber in the Flow PTR Developer Documentation you will find the documentation, for example, about the different integrations, toolkit components, webhooks, Python API and REST API.
The ADN team plans to continue publishing additional technical articles around Flow Production Tracking workflows and integrations. If there are pipeline or Toolkit topics you would like to see covered, feel free to suggest them to us.
