Case study · Automation
1,551 photos published in one run.
The Engage! Edit is the editorial arm of a wedding-and-events PR agency, and every event leaves thousands of photos to size, rename, and sort into the right galleries. That was a full day of somebody uploading images by hand. I built a publishing pipeline instead: drop in the raw event folder and it resizes, renames, and files every image into the right website gallery on its own. The first production run moved 1,551 photos into 9 galleries, unattended.
A full day of uploading, now unattended
The bottleneck was never the photography. It was the hours after, turning a card full of raw images into a clean, correctly-sized, correctly-named gallery on the site. The pipeline does that part while nobody watches.
Drop the folder. Walk away
- One input: the raw event folderPoint it at the photos from an event. There is nothing else to configure per run.
- Resizes and renames every imageEach photo is sized for the web and given a clean, consistent name, so the galleries stay fast and tidy.
- Files each image into the right galleryPhotos are sorted into the correct website gallery on their own, not dragged in one at a time.
- Runs unattendedKick it off and it works through the whole batch without anyone babysitting it.
- Proven at volume1,551 photos across 9 galleries in a single first run, with none placed by hand.
What are you still doing by hand?
If a chunk of your week is repetitive file-work, it can probably run itself. Start with a free audit, or read how I build automations.
