Digital Assets

Digital assets are files stored in the platform’s cloud storage. They are used primarily as input and output for Storm tools, but can also be referenced across your organization.


Accessing digital assets

Go to Digital Assets from the main navigation. The page lists all assets in your organization with their name, type, and last updated time.


Creating an asset

Click Create Asset and fill in the form:

FieldRequiredNotes
IconNoUpload a small image to represent the asset
Asset NameYesDisplay name for the asset
Short DescriptionYesUp to 300 characters
Asset TypeYesFile Upload or S3 Storage
VisibilityYesPublic or Private

File Upload

Upload any file up to 10 MB. The file is stored in the platform’s cloud storage.

S3 Storage

Connect an existing S3 bucket by providing:

  • S3 Bucket Name
  • Folder Path — e.g. digital-assets/uploads
  • AWS Access Key ID — select from your environment variables
  • AWS Secret Key — select from your environment variables

The asset detail page

Click any asset to open its detail page. You’ll see:

  • File path or bucket/folder info
  • File type and size (for uploaded files)
  • Asset type (File or S3)
  • Created and last updated timestamps
  • Copy Ref button
  • Edit Asset button (if you have permission)

Copy Ref

The Copy Ref button copies the asset’s file reference path — this is what you use in code and API calls.

For a file asset, the copied value looks like:

assets/your-org/your-file.csv

This value maps to asset.file in the platform’s data model.


Using assets in Storm tools

Pass the copied file reference as topic_file in your execution event:

{
"topic_file": "assets/your-org/your-file.csv",
"source_asset_id": "<asset UUID>",
"target_asset_id": "<output asset UUID>"
}
  • topic_file — the file reference from Copy Ref
  • source_asset_id — the asset’s UUID (shown in the URL on the detail page)
  • target_asset_id — UUID of a target asset to write output into

See the Storm guide for full details.
