Hello,

Can you confirm?

Connection Method: Adobe I/O API integration using OAuth 2.0 authentication  

Data Synchronization: Real-time push with 15-minute batch fallback for reliability  

Error Handling: Three retry attempts with exponential backoff (1min, 3min, 9min)  

Performance Requirements: <3 second response time for asset linking, 99.5% uptime

    Hi ​@ArunachalamElangovan 

     

    What’s your use case for Workfront to AEM integration? Adobe offers a native connector, which would be used to seamlessly connect Workfront with AEM Assets. There is also another way to connect these platforms through Workfront Fusion, where the AEM Assets module is available, though it may require building your Fusion scenarios.

    Hi ​@ArunachalamElangovan , short answer yes.

    1. Native Connector - 
      1. Linked Folder - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/integrations/workfront-connector-install. Follow video tutorial https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/events/adobe-customer-success-webinar-recordings/2025/aem2025/aem-workfront-integration. You ll setup like this
        Now one hiccup you ll face is, its outside Projects. It works when assets are uploaded directly into LinkedFolder. So you should first ship Documents from Projects into LinkedFolder using Fusion. Todo this, you ll write a Fusion scenario like this 

        Whenever an issue is updated, you ll subscribe to a webhook listening to issue updation. Then will grab the document detail to update metadata if any. In my case, I had to update a date property. And finally move to LinkedFolders. Once shipped to LinkedFolders, it ll dispatch automatically into AEM immediately.  

    2. Custom Fusion scenario - This matches to your requirement, of near-realtime. And not realtime. You ll schedule to periodically move assets from workfront into AEM. I tried a POC earlier, that roughly looks like this 

      This is not working. I am using above native connector way. But unit testing the scenario, I was able to push successfully into AEM.

     

    Recommending to preferably stick with out-of-box native connector. This is realtime (non-batch), once you upload, it immediately pushes into AEM. The connector uses Oauth 2.0 authentication. If still batch needed, through fusion scenarios, possible.
