Someone in the Power Automate Community has requested a connector, but obviously hasn't received support yet.

Please keep us posted on a potential solution - I'd love to see your idea realized!

    We use Power Automate with workflows within Workfront. I wasn't involved in the setup, but it works pretty nicely. What information are you looking for?

      If you could share some details, that would be perfect.

        @Sarah Nau‚: wow, nice!

        Is Power Automate directly connected to your Workfront's API or did you involve any 3rd party app in between?

        Power Automate does not have any pre-built connectors for Workfront. We use the Workfront API in a custom connector. Our custom connector was built by a developer at a third party consultant - PowerApps911.

          I believe that it is directly through the API - @Amanda Cramer‚ - is that right?

            Would be great if you could share some information about how to get started and perhaps some "dos and don't" from your experience

              Yes, this would be perfect if you could share some information.

              Hi - I'm no means a developer so the custom connector was a ton of trial and error and even then, I could only get an action created (Still haven't gotten Triggers to works).

              However, Power Automate also does HTTP calls. So I've been playing around with that a little, but you can use only really use that for more static calls.

              Like I have one where I wanted to get items updated after Sept 30th on a certain project

              https://fcb.my.workfront.com/attask/api/v9.0/optask/search?apiKey=Insert API Key&projectID=Insert Project ID&lastUpdateDate=2020-09-03T15:45:00:000&lastUpdateDate_Mod=gt&fields=description,status

              Then I use the parse tool and the other Power Automate tools to do the other stuff I wanted.

              Hope that helps
