The problem

Expired stock or talent rights stay on websites and social pages, creating legal exposure.

The outcome

Owners are alerted before expiry and assets are archived on time.

Before you start

  • An asset library with Rights Expiry, Source (Adobe Stock, agency, own shoot) and Used On columns.

Build it step by step

  1. Find expiring assets — Filter items expiring in the next 30 days.
  2. Alert — Post to the marketing channel with links to where each asset is used.
  3. Archive — On expiry, move to an Archive folder and remove from the shared brand library.
  4. Report — Monthly summary of active vs expired assets.

Connector action names are shown as they appear in Power Automate at the time of writing; Microsoft and Adobe occasionally rename actions or add new versions.

Error handling

  • Assets from Adobe Stock standard licences generally don't expire — record the licence type to avoid false alerts.

Licensing

  • Standard connectors.

Variations

  • Tag AI-generated (Firefly) assets and keep their Content Credentials.
