Workfront Fusion: Automation Workflow to create leads in Marketo

[#1]

Workfront Fusion is the integration platform that allows you to connect Workfront to virtually any business application in your technology stack.

It provides robust capabilities to integrate Workfront into thousands of business applications.

This enables a seamless and connected enterprise knowledge work lifecycle. The power and elegance of Workfront Fusion lie in its simplicity. Workfront Fusion allows business users to create and manage a visual workflow of data processes and rules, transform data from one format to another, and monitor integrations in real-time.

To create workflow automation using work front you need access to https://apps.workfront.com and there should be a certain organization under which your username should exist

Steps to develop a Workfront fusion process to create dynamic users in Marketo from excel.

After successful connection, your excel should display under workbook and the corresponding sheet under Worksheet

you can select the data range for example in my case it is from A2:B10

I have also created update lead and delete lead scenarios on a similar concept and used these workflows to create dynamic leads in the Marketo environment.

After reading this blog, users should be familiar with Workfront fusion which is part of Adobe Workfront.

The user learned about the basic flow of business cases that can be automated using workflow fusion.
