Workfront Unified Approvals – Frame.io Project URL?

With the new Unified Approvals integration, when a Workfront project is created, a corresponding project is automatically created in Frame.io.

Is there a native field or API-accessible reference that stores the associated Frame.io project URL?

Our goal is to display a clickable link to the corresponding Frame.io project within a Workfront report.

UPDATE: I figured out how to dynamically pull the associated Frame.io project URL into a Workfront Project report using the new native Unified Approvals integration (thank you ChatGPT).

Turns out Workfront exposes an esmID field in Project report text mode that contains the associated Frame.io resource identifier..

 

Project Report – Text Mode Column:

displayname=Frame.io Project Link
textmode=true
valueexpression=CONCAT("https://f.io/r/",{esmID})
valueformat=HTML

 

This generates a clickable link to the corresponding Frame.io project directly in your Workfront report. There may be a better way, but until then… 

Hopefully this helps someone else! 😀

This is a great find! Thanks, I will be using this for our project reports as well.

Hi ​@Kasey-Gagne,

 

As far as know there is no API accessible reference fields that store this value. Please if anyone knows of a field let me also know.

 

I think there might be an option to get Frame.io projects that link to specific ID and find those like that via fusion module, and then save the link on a new custom field in WF but this sound like an overkill.

 

This is one I'd probably also raise with Adobe Product Support, because the linkage clearly exists internally, but is not exposed (yet).

Best regards,
Ivan Bebek
