Audition and Portfolio Video That Is Not an Email Attachment
This connector is not prebuilt. It would be built to your requirement on the REST API and ingestion path the platform already uses, with scope and effort agreed per engagement. Slate is the admissions and enrolment platform most selective institutions run, holding applications and applicant communication. Where a programme asks for audition tapes, portfolio reels or recorded statements, that media arrives as attachments and is reviewed however each reader manages, which is the gap.
How it connects
Applicant records and the media submitted with them would come across from Slate over its API, the applicant identifier arriving as an attribute so a recording belongs to an application rather than to a folder of files named by the applicant. Review material would then sit under the library's access control, so a reviewer sees the applications assigned to them.
The reason this matters more than tidiness is the review itself. A panel comparing forty audition recordings needs them playable in one place, at consistent quality, visible to the right readers and not to others, with a record of who watched what. Attachments give none of that. An engagement would settle how long submitted media is kept after a decision, which is a question admissions offices usually answer only when asked.
Slate would stay the admissions platform, and the application record stays authoritative. Nothing is written back unless a step is scoped for it. An engagement would also establish whether media is pulled from Slate or submitted directly into the library with the application referenced, because the second avoids moving large files twice and is often the better shape.
What you can do together
- Review submitted audition, portfolio or statement video in one place, at consistent quality, rather than as attachments opened however each reader manages.
- Restrict each application's media to the readers assigned to it, with a record of who viewed what.
- Attach the applicant reference to the media so it is retrievable against the application.
- Apply a retention decision to submitted media after a cycle closes, rather than leaving it indefinitely.
A scenario
- ScopingThe engagement would agree whether media is pulled from Slate or submitted directly with the application referenced, and how long it is kept after a decision.
- SetupThe connection would be configured once against the Slate API with the applicant reference mapped to an attribute.
- SubmissionAudition recordings arrive and attach to their application, visible to the panel for that instrument.
- ReviewThe panel plays each recording in one place, and the record shows which reviewers saw which audition.
- After the cycleRetention applies to the submitted media on the schedule the engagement agreed, rather than by nobody deciding.
What stays where
Slate remains the admissions platform
Applications, communication and decisions stay there.
The applicant reference travels with the media
It arrives as an attribute, so a recording resolves to its application.
Who may watch is the library's decision
Media is visible to assigned reviewers, with a record of access.
Processing runs where you deploy the platform
Shared or dedicated SaaS, your own cloud, or on premises, with a network path to Slate.
