IMPORTANT
To deliver more stable and scalable integrations, we’re shifting to a modern, flexible integration approach using Workfront Automation and Integration (Fusion). As part of this transition process, the Workfront for Jira integration will not be available after  February 28, 2026.
We recommend using Workfront Automation and Integration for your organization’s integration needs with Jira.
Eight ready-to-use Workfront Automation and Integration templates for Jira will be available by August to help replicate common workflows and accelerate implementation. Templates are fully customizable to meet specific business needs and can be extended as requirements evolve.
For an overview of Workfront Automation and Integration, see Adobe Workfront Fusion overview.
For information about the specific capabilities of the Workfront Automation and Integration modules for Jira, see Jira Software modules.

As a Jira administrator, you can view the exceptions and errors that occur during the synchronization or creation of the tickets between Adobe Workfront and Jira in an Activity Log.

You can see up to 500 items in the Activity Log, and they are listed starting with the most recent ones.

Access requirements

You must have the following:

Adobe Workfront plan*
Pro or higher
Adobe Workfront licenses overview*
Plan
Jira access

System administrator access

Important: We recommend that you create separate system administrator accounts in Jira and Workfront to dedicate to this integration, rather than using existing ones that might be attached to users.

Access level configurations*

You must be a Workfront administrator. For information on Workfront administrators, see Grant a user full administrative access.

Note: If you still don't have access, ask your Workfront administrator if they set additional restrictions in your access level. For information on how a Workfront administrator can modify your access level, see Create or modify custom access levels.

*To find out what plan, license type, or access you have, contact your Workfront administrator.
