Fusion functions cookbook?

I noticed the new Functions area in Fusion and was intrigued. Although we don’t have a current use for the section, I can imagine that it can be extremely useful in the future.

I’ll be honest: I’m a “refugee” from magazine publishing. I’ve got giant sucking-chest-wound-sized holes in my knowledge base. At this point, I’m trying to think through “unknown unknowns” when it comes to using such cool-looking new functionality. 

So, for people who didn’t yoke themselves to a dying industry for most of their careers, what are you most excited to do with this new functionality? And has Adobe considered a “cookbook” in the way that it has with Fusion?

    We briefly evaluated them, but to my understanding they require purchasing the additional subscription to the AppBuilder tool on top of Workfront to leverage the functionality. When we evaluated AppBuilder, it was WAY beyond what we could use, it seemed meant more for larger-scale platform integration development that would take a full development team to utilize. 

     

    My brief idea had been to see if it would allow for a smoother integration between Workfront and Salesforce to reduce context-switching for our teams, but the up-front cost in money and time was too great to justify trying it.

    Hi ​@KatherineLa,

     

    We build AppBuilder solutions for AEM, Commerce and Workfront for multiple years now.

     

    AppBuilder is only included in the new Workfront license packages as each AppBuilder gives you specific amount of compute/memory or database storage.

     

    In the case of Fusion Functions, you could externalize specific actions which are complicated to build with modules. E.g. instead of manipulating data with iterators, you could write a simple Javascript function to do the job.

     

    Additionally, we could also write plugins for Workfront which allows you run an embedded React in Workfront.

     

    I currently planning to blog posts/videos on both topics. Stay tuned.
