Question

I am using universal editor, can we get Workfront extension to view my work?

Can we have add-on Adobe Workfront plugin/extension for AEM Universal Editor UI to show Adobe Workfront task/assignment context directly inside the AEM Universal Editor UI so authors can see:

  1. assigned tasks
  2. approval status
  3. due dates
  4. project metadata
  5. workflow state

Hi ​@prcreddy9 ,

 

Yes , this is a very reasonable extension use case for AEM Universal Editor. Because Universal Editor supports extensibility, Adobe can bring Workfront task and project context directly into the authoring UI.

The exact scope depends on the your architecture and integration design, but the pattern is aligned with how Universal Editor is intended to reduce context switching and improve author productivity.

HI ​@prcreddy9 ,
 

Please try to follow below troubleshooting steps in case it is disabled :

  • Extension Manager Configuration:!--tgqphd|[]--> The Workfront panel is driven by AEM’s UI extensibility. Navigate to the Extension Manager within AEM Sites and ensure that the Adobe Workfront extension is explicitly enabled for your AEM instance.!--tgqphd|[]-->
  • Environment-Specific Logic:!--tgqphd|[]--> AEM UI extensions can conditionally check for the AEM environment or user access token before appearing. Confirm that your extension's code does not restrict visibility in your current environment (e.g., author vs. publish).!--tgqphd|[]-->
  • IP Allowlist & Universal Editor Service:!--tgqphd|[]--> If the Universal Editor Service (which runs globally) is restricted by IP whitelists in Adobe Cloud Manager, it may be unable to communicate with Workfront or load its external extensions. Check your network allowlists to ensure Workfront's IPs are permitted.!--tgqphd|[]-->
  • Authentication/Permissions:!--tgqphd|[]--> The Workfront plugin fetches tasks contextually based on the logged-in user. Verify that the authenticated user has an active, properly mapped Adobe IMS profile with access to both AEM and the linked Workfront project.!--tgqphd|[]-->
