Announcements

API Version 10 Now Available in Preview

API version 10 is now available in the Preview environment. It will be made available in the Production environment with the 18.3 release. For more information, see What’s New in API Version 10. 

API Version 3 No Longer Supported

Support for API version 3 is ending in November 2018. For more information about the support schedule for versions of the Workfront API, see API versioning and support schedule.

TLS Support Is Ending

In order to provide optimal security, Workfront is requiring that all integrations and web traffic using TLS 1.0 or earlier be upgraded to use TLS 1.1 or later. This change is already in effect in the Preview environment.

For more information, see  TLS 1.2 to be required in Adobe Workfront.

JSONP Support is Ending

Because JSONP (Javascript with Padding) is an old standard with known security vulnerabilities, Workfront will no longer support JSONP as of November 2018. For more information, see Ending support for JSONP.

Flash Application Removal

All functionality that relies on Flash technology is planned for removal from Workfront with the 2018.3 release and replaced with a new solution.

For detailed information about the legacy Flash tools and their replacements, see Replacement of Flash-based tools in Adobe Workfront.

Legacy Workfront FusionUpdate - September 20, 2018

Legacy Workfront Fusion is an integration platform that enables you to connect Workfront to multiple third-party applications.

With the latest update, Legacy Workfront Fusion now provides an improved design that makes the process for creating new FLOs more intuitive. The specific changes include:

  • New FLO: Clicking the new FLO now takes users to the Designers screen, rather than first prompting to pick the connector. This change helps you to orient yourself to the overall FLO and understand that any FLO should start with an Event.
  • Add Function: The function picker has been updated to make it easier to find and select the desired function. Descriptions of the functions, along with input and output fields, have been updated to add intuitive guidance. The new “Most Popular” section helps you get started with the most commonly used Functions.
