The Status App is almost always used after the Upload or Review App to monitor files for customer responses. However, it can also be used after the Watcher App to look for files changes in status, 

Good2Go uses a small dataset that describes many aspects of the file allowing the high-resolution files to stay in Good2Go while Switch uses the small dataset to route, sort and make processing decisions.  

Development accounts are available at no-charge with a valid production account. Just contact us. 

The token is used to securely connect the Good2Go Apps to your Good2Go account.
See below on how to create your token for Switch. 

Click on the Good2Go Account menu and select “Integrations”. From there, select “Create Token” and generate a Token for Enfocus Switch. Be sure to copy this token immediately and keep a copy someplace you can access if needed. You can not go back and copy a token after it’s initial creation.  Be sure to safeguard your token as it’s just like a password. Tokens are valid for 3 years unless deleted from your Good2Go Account. 

There are two ways for Switch to communicate with Good2Go. Polling is very easy to use, but will delay processing by 5 mins. Webhooks are almost instantaneous beauty require set-up

This example focuses on sending a proof with the PDF originating in Switch.

The sample flow uses a Submit Point to upload a PDF to your Good2Go account for on-line proofing. In this flow, you can choose between using the standard email messages from your Good2Go preferences, or insert a custom message . 
After the document is sent for review, the Good2Go “Status” app watches for the final document approval. Once “Approved” it is downloaded and sent to print production via a folder. 

You MUST copy/paste your Good2Go API Token into each Good2Go App in the flow to activate this flow.

This example focuses on sending a proof with the PDF already in Good2Go.

When files are already in Good2Go, we need to use a different approach to detect a file for processing. The Watcher App provides a view into what files are in your Good2Go account, but we need a way to narrow down to just the file you want to send for review.  Here are two easy ways.

1. Hot Folder. The Watcher App can be restricted to just monitoring a specific folder for new files. This allows you to drag and drop or “Move” files into that folder within Good2Go. Files once entered could then be sent to the Review App to send out a proof request. 
   
   
2. File Status and Custom Labels. Using one, or both of these conditions, you can trigger the file to be processed. It’s a good way to ensure files that are ready for processing are noticed by Switch.
   
   
3. In our example flow, the file must be in the “Send for Proof” folder in Good2Go (Holding folder in the flow) and the custom label must be set to “Waiting on customer”. By using a double verification, it ensures only correct files are sent. 
   
   
4. The “Move to Folder” element uses the Good2Go API to directly move a file from Folder A to Folder B in Good2Go. 

This document provides everything you need to get started with understanding the Good2Go API and how it works with Enfocus Switch.
