Short answer

How can I track my Transloadit file jobs?

Your AI pulls current status updates for active assemblies or specific jobs. You can check progress, stop tasks that are stuck, or restart failed ones. This gives you a direct line of sight into your media processing pipeline.

Job oversight outcomes.

Where your processing data lands.

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of checking and managing your Transloadit tasks.

MONITOR

Live status updates

The AI pulls current data on all active assemblies. You get immediate clarity on what is finished and what is still running.

CONTROL

Stop runaway tasks

If a job is taking too long or is no longer needed, your AI kills the process immediately. This prevents wasted resources.

RECOVERY

Fix failed jobs

When a file processing step fails, your AI can trigger a retry. This keeps your automation moving without manual intervention.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If an assembly fails repeatedly, the AI flags the error for you. You decide if the file needs a different configuration or a human eye.

The workflow

What your AI does when a job starts.

Instead of you refreshing a dashboard, your AI manages the lifecycle of every assembly.

  1. Scan active tasks

    The AI looks through your current workload to find all active processing jobs.

    list_assemblies

  2. Check specific progress

    The AI drills down into a single job to see exactly which step is currently running.

    get_assembly

  3. Kill stuck jobs

    If a file is hanging or a process is wrong, the AI stops the assembly instantly.

    cancel_assembly

  4. Retry failed steps

    The AI can trigger a fresh run of an assembly if the previous attempt didn't work.

    replay_assembly

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can my AI create new assemblies?

    No. This specific set of tools is for monitoring and managing existing assemblies, not for creating new ones.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete my files in Transloadit?

    No. The AI can only manage the status and execution of assemblies. It cannot delete files or assets from your storage.

  • 03

    How does the AI know if a job is finished?

    The AI checks the assembly data to see if the status has moved to a completed or failed state.

  • 04

    Will the AI automatically retry every failure?

    No. The AI only replays an assembly if you specifically ask it to or if you have set up a logic flow to do so.

  • 05

    Can I see the logs for a specific job?

    Yes, by checking the specific assembly details, the AI can provide the status and information related to that job.
