Well folks....that's a wrap!
Thank you for reaching out to us and we look forward to catching you next time. We will make every effort to follow up with any followup responses or anything posted at this point or before.
Great Idea @Viktoriia ! We won't be adding anything to the current Fusion Cookbook but we are strongly considering a new one. Also we are looking at having a series of different events that cover this and similar topics in the autumn.
@ewanh Thank you! That would be awesome!

We are working on a simple Scenario where we want the Planned Completion Date of an issue to update when the Planned Completion Date of the Project is updated. We are going step by step and seem to keep getting random errors along the way. What would you recommend to be the best Module + Output for each step. Currently we have:
Thanks!

Have you verified that the ID being returned from Fusion for the Original issue on the Project matches? I've had trouble in the past getting the original issue ID number and was using the wrong field.
Hi Morgan,
I would suggest using a watch events module on Projects where plannedCompletionDate 'changed', Then read the project to get additional evaluation fields to filter on as shown in your business rules. The second call would be to search issues on this project where the plannedCompletionDate notEqual to the projects plannedCompletion date and status notEqual closed, then just update them.
I think you core ideas are sound, but take a look at the watch events, vs watch record, it acts quicker and with the new filters you can get very granular in the response
Thank you @AndyHess (and @KellieGardner who helped on the side
@AndyHess, I would like to know if it's possible to create combined proofs from jpg's using the Google Drive Module and a Shared Folder, I've tried to create this scenario already but the module is never triggered when new files are added to the drive folder.

This seems like it may be an issue with the Google Drive Module, sensing updated content. Are you using a web-hook or watch folder, I believe the watch folder has to be triggered via a schedule and is often more robust.
I often do not use GDrive and will instead look for new objects within Workfront, or S3 or other locations.

Hi @AndyHess,
We are using the watch folder because it's for a totally separate workflow than our other clients.
I'll look into Dropbox and One Drive.
Thanks

Is there a way to automate Fusion itself? I have several scenarios that only run once a week/month/quarter. it makes sense for me to turn these on and off as needed to stay below the active scenario limit. Instead of having to remember to turn these on and off manually, which defeats the purpose of automation, I'd like them to turn themselves on at intervals, run, and then shut themselves off.
Additionally, is there any API documentation for Fusion?

Hi @RandyRoberts ,
We currently don't have a Public API or anything formally documented on the API for automating it. There have been others that have requested this and I believe there is something in the works here but I don't have a timeline on that. We will share this as a request with our Product team.
Thanks!

@AndyHess @ewanh
I've started looking at the Make.com API and it seems to be something that will work. I'm guessing I could even automate Fusion with a Make scenario?
We have bought 3 Fusion "Connectors/Integrations". Does EACH automation (ie. convert issue to a project or approve/reject based on compliance) take up one "Connectors/Integrations"?
This really depends based on your licensing type and model. I recommend reaching out to your Account Representative to inquire. Typically, what you are referring to as an automation would translate as a scenario. By connector you might think of these as an App and those may span scenarios, so as long as you aren't connecting to more than three applications across your different scenarios you SHOULD be okay in most situations.
For more information from our community check here.
To be certain...please check with your Account Rep!

@ewanh I've been having a bit of struggle interpreting the Proof API (it's separate API). Are there any cheat sheets or one pagers listing any particularly endpoints for Workfronters' use and sample "this is how it's used" articles?
Yes, this can be a struggle. Other than what is in our Experience League Documentation and the Community there isn't a separate one-pager. Where possible I try to use Workfront modules and objects to get most of the Proof details. For example proofs tie closely with Document Versions. One of our Integration consultants says to get very familiar with the Document misc action createProofRest.
Additional thoughts @AndyHess or others?

@ewanh the question came up while we were trying to manage proof license and permissioning details via fusion, so the information is more in Proof than in Workfront (specifically switching users between Author, Moderator, etc.). So really hoping that Workfront would surface these specific areas of the Proof API in a more useful way, rather than the "here's everything" pile that is currently the Proof API reference.
Thanks @skyehansen I'll share with our documentation team.
