Automate project quarterly without Fusion

I would like to have a project created automatically every quarter from a previous project. Is this possible without using Fusion or Planning?

Hi @crystalh 
Yes you can do it via the API. Fusion is a very nice wrapper around the Workfront API, but you can certainly call the API directly, to e.g. create projects. 

BUT - the request requires a form post, you can't just hit a URL in your browser. You have to use e.g. PostMan or script it e.g. with cURL

URL & query string

https://{your domain}.my.workfront.adobe.com/attask/api/v19.0/proj/?copySourceID={ID of the project to copy}&options={selected options}&username={your email address}&apiKey={your API key}

 

Body

{ "name":{name of new project}, "status":{status of new project} }

 

Options are :

  • clearAssignments
  • clearFinancials
  • clearProgress
  • clearApprovers
  • clearCustomData
  • clearTimedNotifications
  • clearDocuments
  • clearExpenses
  • clearPredecessors
  • clearPermissions
  • clearBudgetedHours

To clarify Sven's response, there are another of free tools out there you could use to automate Sven's API call. Copilot can help you locate the best one/s for your use.
