9.1 Overview

This shows the general flow of how the system will function.

1. The selects if they want to generate a Bespoke or a Auto Generated brochure.
2. The service will make a Get Template request to Frontify, and filter the list to only those templates that are either the CSV or the Auto Generation brochure types.
3. The Get Templates method will return the template name and its detail.
4. Hub will create a service request object, and map the text and image artifacts to the template detail Keys.
5. Hub publishes the Brochure Generation request to the service bus.
6. The service picks up the brochure generation request, and creates a brochure object in the datastore.
7. If the User requested a Bespoke brochure then
   1. A CSV file is created.
   2. All of the image objects from the existing request brochure object are loaded into frontify and Assets are created.
   3. The Text and Asset Id’s are written to the CSV.
   4. A request is made to the datastore to return all incomplete brochure objects.
   5. CSV rows are created for each.
   6. The CSV is uploaded.
   7. Once the Brochure has been created by the Frontify User, They will need to login to Hub and Upload the brochure, and indicate the generation is complete.
