Adobe Express connector
Adobe Express connector now available in Workfront Fusion
We’ve added a new Adobe Express connector so you can automate common Express workflows—like listing tagged documents, creating variations, exporting renditions, and checking operation status—directly from Workfront Fusion integrations and automations.
Overview
The Adobe Express connector exposes the primary Express API surface so you can programmatically interact with Express documents and tagged elements from your Fusion scenarios. The connector maps the Express API endpoints into modules that make it easy to include Express operations in integration flows, automation canvases, and scheduled jobs.
Connector capabilities (API endpoints)
- Tagged documents — List all documents that contain tagged elements so you can discover assets to process.
- Tagged document details — Retrieve metadata and the tagged-element structure for a specific document to inspect editable regions and element IDs.
- Generate variation — Create new document variations by modifying tagged elements (for example, swap text, replace images, or change colors) and kick off asynchronous generation.
- Export rendition — Export a document or variation to JPG, PNG, MP4, or PDF renditions for downstream delivery or archival.
- Status — Check the status of asynchronous operations (such as variation generation or export jobs) so you can poll and take action when processing completes.
What you can do with the Adobe Express connector
- Automate batch exports of finalized Express documents to your DAM or cloud storage (PDF, JPG, PNG, MP4).
- Drive templated content production by generating variations programmatically—populate tagged text, swap tagged images, or apply style changes for personalized outputs.
- Build end-to-end flows that discover documents, create variations, wait for generation to finish, export renditions, and then notify stakeholders or update records in downstream systems.
- Integrate Express document workflows with marketing automation, publishing pipelines, or asset management systems using Fusion’s mapping and conditional logic.
How to get started
- Open your integration or automation canvas in Workfront Fusion and add the Adobe Express connector.
- Select the module that corresponds to the Express operation you need (Tagged documents, Tagged document details, Generate variation, Export rendition, or Status).
- Generate credentials at developer.adobe.com.
- Configure module inputs—document IDs, tagged element updates (payload), export format and options, and polling intervals for async operations.
- Map outputs into subsequent steps in your flow (for example, pass exported file URLs to an HTTP module, upload to cloud storage, or notify via email/Slack).
Behavior and tips
- Variation generation and some export operations are asynchronous. Request a job and use the returned job ID with the Status module to determine completion.
- When updating tagged elements, include the element IDs and the correct edit payload as returned by the Tagged document details call to ensure modifications apply to the intended regions.
- Exported renditions return downloadable URLs (or files) that you can immediately ingest into other systems or store in Fusion-managed connectors.
- Saved credentials for Adobe Express are reusable across multiple Adobe connectors and modules—create the credential once and select it wherever Express auth is required.
