Announcements

API version 21

Workfront API version 21 was released on October 23, 2025. For API version 21, we’ve modified some resources and endpoints. Some of the changes support new functionality, and others make it easier for you to use the information available through the API.

For information on API versions, see API versioning and support schedule.

New version of Workfront for Microsoft Teams

As Microsoft transitions to the New Teams client, the Classic Teams client will no longer be available after July 1, 2025. To continue using Microsoft Teams and integrated apps like Workfront, customers must transition to the New Teams client before this date.

The updated Workfront integration is now available and fully compatible with the New Teams experience. In most cases, Workfront will appear automatically once users have transitioned. If it does not, the integration can be manually installed from the Microsoft Teams App Store. To install or verify the Workfront integration in the New Teams client, see Install Adobe Workfront for Microsoft Teams.

Workfront for Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft is in the process of disabling support for legacy Exchange online tokens, which are currently used by the Workfront Outlook add-in for authentication. This change by Microsoft has already started affecting customers and will continue to roll out in phases through October 2025.

  • After Microsoft fully disables these tokens, the Workfront for Microsoft Outlook integration will no longer function.

As part of this change, Microsoft has made the decision to change the way tokens are re-enabled. After June 30, 2025, admins will no longer be able to re-enable tokens themselves—only Microsoft Support can grant exceptions. On October 1, 2025, legacy tokens will be turned off for all tenants. Exceptions will not be granted.

Other Workfront integration transitions

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 following integrations will not be available after February 28, 2026:

  • Workfront for G Suite
  • Workfront for Jira
  • Workfront for Salesforce.

We recommend using Workfront Automation and Integration for your organization’s integration needs with Google Workspace.
For an overview of Workfront Automation and Integration, see Adobe Workfront Fusion overview.
