Last update: January 22, 2025

CREATED FOR:

  • 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.

  • A user profile in Anaplan named Workfront Integration, that has system administrator rights.

  • The Anaplan Model that you want to use for this scenario.

    The list’s module must support receiving the following attributes:

    • Workfront Request GUID
    • Workfront Project GUID
    • Campaign Name
    • Requested Labor Funds
    • Estimated Revenue
    • Brand

    This list and module must store additional details that are necessary for the normal functionality of Anaplan, including the ability to set a budget and communicate that the budget list item is ready to be synced back to Workfront.

  • A view in Anaplan called Campaigns.Update Campaigns in Adobe Workfront.

    This view must contain the following columns, in this order:
