Brand portal

Distribute approved brand assets — logos, fonts, templates — to partners and teams, with a single source that's always current. Approve once on a board; everyone downstream sees the update immediately.

A brand portal built on the Playbook API

The flow​

  1. Keep a board of approved assets (curated with custom fields).
  2. Publish it as a public portal, or share it for a link-gated one.
  3. Embed the portal in your intranet or marketing site.
  4. Serve downloads with token-scoped API keys.

1. Curate approved assets​

Filter your library down to what's cleared for distribution and collect it on a "Brand kit" board. An approval custom field makes this reliable: filter by it in Playbook, then add the matching assets to the board. The public REST /search endpoint can filter by that field too, through filters[statuses][] — see Custom Fields. Downstream clients read the curated board through /v1/$ORG/boards/brand-kit/assets.

2. Publish the portal​

curl -X POST "https://api.playbook.com/v1/$ORG/boards/brand-kit/publish" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PLAYBOOK_TOKEN"
{ "data": { "url": "https://playbook.com/p/your-org/brand-kit" } }

A published board is a public, always-current gallery — update the board and the portal updates with it, no redeploy. For a link-gated portal instead, use POST /v1/$ORG/boards/brand-kit/share. See the published vs. shared comparison.

3. Embed it​

Drop the portal straight into your intranet or brand site:

<iframe
  src="https://playbook.com/p/your-org/brand-kit"
  style="width:100%;height:900px;border:0"
  title="Brand portal"
></iframe>

4. Scope partner access​

Issue separate API tokens per integration so each only sees what it should, and revoke without touching the others. Fetch the approved set on your own domain and render a branded download page:

brand-kit.tsx
const ORG = "your-org";
const TOKEN = process.env.PLAYBOOK_TOKEN!; // a token scoped for the portal

type Asset = { token: string; title: string; display_url: string; raw_url: string };

async function getBrandKit(): Promise<Asset[]> {
  const res = await fetch(
    `https://api.playbook.com/v1/${ORG}/boards/brand-kit/assets?per_page=100`,
    { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${TOKEN}` } },
  );
  return (await res.json()).data;
}

export default async function BrandKit() {
  const assets = await getBrandKit();
  return (
    <ul>
      {assets.map((a) => (
        <li key={a.token}>
          <img src={a.display_url} alt={a.title} width={120} />
          <a href={a.raw_url} download>Download {a.title}</a>
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
}
