Simulated flow — public CDN distribution and governed private review in one tenant content layer

Unified content layer

“Private work, governed sharing, and public delivery — without mixing them up.”

Platform

Documents, Files, and Content Distribution

Store, review, automate, and deliver content inside the platform—workspace documents, platform files, governed public docs, and global CDN delivery connected to ProcessFlow and WebApps.

Content is not scattered across drives, email, and ad hoc storage—it lives in tenant-isolated storage, connected to ProcessFlow and WebApps.

Teams typically juggle file shares for internal documents, a separate CDN for public assets, manual email attachments for external delivery, and no link between files and the workflows that produce or consume them.

Tealfabric treats files as first-class platform objects—stored safely per tenant, reachable from automation, and deliverable to users and partners with the right access model for each scenario.

  • One unified content layer—Documents, platform files, CDN, and public docs inside the tenant
  • Private work, governed sharing, and public delivery—without mixing access models
  • Browse, upload, preview, organize, and trash in the Documents workspace
  • Secure review links with annotations, comments, lifecycle, and audit history
  • CDN for intentionally public static assets; public docs for policy-controlled external handoff
  • ProcessFlow read/write, WebApp uploads, file connectors, and OCR from stored files
  • Signed links with expiry, download limits, and download audit fields
  • Tenant isolation, upload validation, trash recovery, and workspace editor backups

Production patterns

From contract review to CDN brochures—one content layer behind each.

  1. PDF review
    secure link

    Contract approval

    Upload PDF to Documents → create review → external counsel annotates via secure link → status tracked to resolution.

  2. public docs
    signed link

    Invoice generation

    ProcessFlow creates PDF → publishes to public docs → customer receives expiring signed download link.

  3. CDN logos
    WebApp refs

    Brand & WebApp assets

    Logos and styles in CDN → referenced from WebApps on custom domain → fast global delivery.

  4. CSV upload
    → DataPool

    Data import pipeline

    CSV via WebApp upload → ProcessFlow validates → file connector parses → DataPool updated.

  5. brochure PDF
    stable CDN URL

    Marketing collateral

    Product brochure PDF on CDN → stable URL in emails and partner portals.

Two delivery models

Public CDN assets and private document review—in one tenant boundary.

Marketing uploads a brochure to the CDN folder for global WebApp and email delivery. Legal uploads a vendor contract to the private workspace, creates a review with secure links, and tracks external counsel annotations through resolution.

Capabilities

Store, review, automate, and deliver—with the right access model per zone.

Files are inputs and outputs of automation—not an afterthought disconnected from ProcessFlow, WebApps, and connectors.

  1. browse · upload
    preview · trash

    Workspace document management

    Browse, upload, preview, organize, and recoverable trash in the Documents workspace.

    Day-to-day files, process outputs, and uploads—authenticated users and automation. Preview PDF, images, text, and code formats in-browser; large files stream efficiently.

  2. secure links
    annotations

    Document review & collaboration

    Secure review links, annotations, threaded comments, and traceable lifecycle.

    Time-limited tokens for external reviewers—no platform account required. Pending → in review → commented → resolved, with audit trail per review. Suited to contracts, policies, and formal sign-off.

  3. per-platform
    validated uploads

    Platform files

    Assets tied to business platform records—with validation and security scanning.

    Strategy documents, imagery, and exports organized per platform—not mixed into general clutter. Allowed types, size limits, and extension vs content checks block suspicious payloads.

  4. cdn.tealfabric.io
    global static

    CDN public static delivery

    Multi-node global delivery for logos, brochures, and WebApp static assets.

    Place files in the tenant CDN folder; platform replicates to CDN nodes. Stable URLs for WebApps, email campaigns, and external embeds—non-sensitive, intentionally public content only.

  5. /p/{tenant}/…
    signed links

    Public docs gateway

    Governed external delivery with expiry, download limits, and signed links.

    Separate from open CDN—policy-controlled downloads for invoices, reports, and partner deliverables. Token-required, one-time, time-window, and public policies with default-deny without metadata.

  6. ProcessFlow I/O
    OCR · connectors

    Automation-native file I/O

    ProcessFlow helpers, WebApp uploads, connectors, OCR, and public docs API.

    Tenant-scoped read, write, copy, mkdir, and delete in step code. User uploads flow into process input; PDF and image OCR extract text; processes publish to public docs with policy metadata.

  7. workspace · CDN
    public docs

    Three zones, one tenant boundary

    Workspace, platform files, public docs, and CDN—clear access models per zone.

    Private work, governed sharing, and public delivery without mixing them up. All storage scoped to the organization with tenant isolation on every operation.

  8. review history
    download audit

    Audit and recoverability

    Review history, download audit, trash, and workspace editor backups.

    When a partner says a link expired or a review went missing, teams trace the file, policy, and review trail. Soft delete and IDE backups instead of immediate permanent loss.
