Workfront Proof modules

Last update: Thu Feb 15 2024 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

CREATED FOR:

  • User

In an Adobe Workfront Fusion scenario, you can automate workflows that use Workfront Proof, as well as connect it to multiple third-party applications and services.

This is useful if you need to execute tasks currently not supported in proofing within Workfront or in Workfront Proof, such as updating proofs based on certain events and searching for a proof’s recipients.

The Workfront Proof connector does not count against the number of active apps available to your organization. All scenarios, even if they use only the Workfront Proof app, do count against your organization’s total scenario count.

If you need instructions on creating a scenario, see Create a scenario in Adobe Workfront Fusion.

For information about modules, see Modules in Adobe Workfront Fusion.

Workfront Proof modules and their fields

When you configure Workfront Proof modules, Workfront Fusion displays the fields listed below. Along with these, additional Workfront Proof fields might display, depending on factors such as your access level in the app or service. A bolded title in a module indicates a required field.

If you see the map button above a field or function, you can use it to set variables and functions for that field. For more information, see Map information from one module to another in Adobe Workfront Fusion.

Triggers

Watch Proofs

This scheduled trigger module executes a scenario when someone creates or makes a decision on a proof.

The module returns a list of all of the records it finds during the period you specify, along with their types. It also returns the values of the fields you specify. If the module found decisions made on the proof, it includes both the previous and the current values, in separate fields. You can map this information in subsequent modules in the scenario.

This happens on a regularly scheduled interval that you specify.

You must have sufficient permissions to access the proof or proofs in Workfront Proof in order to retrieve this information.

When you are configuring this module, the following fields display.
