Last update: January 22, 2025

User

This integration scenario syncs any budget allocations that have been made in Anaplan back to Workfront. The scenario pulls all linked campaign budget items, then passes the budget value to the linked Workfront project if the budget value has been changed.

IMPORTANT

“Campaign” in this article refers to the marketing campaign use case that this scenario represents, and is in no way connected to the Workfront Fusion Adobe Campaign connector or to the recently deprecated Campaign object in Workfront.
