Adobe Workfront Setup Guide Lite
Follow our setup guide to connect Adobe Workfront to Fivetran.
Prerequisites
To connect Adobe Workfront to Fivetran, you need an Adobe Workfront account with Administrator access. For Adobe Developer Console authentication, you also need access to the Adobe Developer Console as a system administrator or developer of the Adobe organization that owns your Workfront instance.
Starting November 1, 2026, you can no longer create new custom OAuth2 applications in Workfront. Starting February 1, 2027, existing custom OAuth2 applications stop working, and connections that use them fail to sync.
Use the Adobe Developer Console authentication method for new connections. If your existing connection uses a Workfront OAuth2 application, switch it to Adobe Developer Console before February 1, 2027.
Setup instructions
Find organization domain and environment
Find the organization domain and environment in your Adobe Workfront URL. For example, if your Adobe Workfront URL is https://myorganization.my.workfront.com, then your organization domain is myorganization and your environment is my.
Select authentication method
Fivetran offers two ways to authenticate your Adobe Workfront connection. Expand the section for the authentication method you want to use and follow the steps.
- Adobe Developer Console: Fivetran authenticates using an OAuth Server-to-Server credential that you create in the Adobe Developer Console.
- Workfront OAuth2 application (legacy): Fivetran authenticates using a custom OAuth2 application that you create in Workfront.
Create Adobe Developer Console credential
Log in to the Adobe Developer Console as a system administrator or developer of the Adobe organization that owns your Workfront instance.
Click Create new project.
Click Add API.
Under Experience Cloud, select Adobe Workfront and click Next.
Select Server-to-Server authentication and click Next.
If your organization has more than one Workfront instance, select the instance that you want us to connect to.
Click Save.
In the Credentials section of the project, select OAuth Server-to-Server.
Make a note of the Client ID and Client Secret. You need them to configure your connection.
Create Workfront OAuth2 application
Log in to your Adobe Workfront account.
In the top right corner of the page, click the Main Menu icon and select Setup.
On the navigation menu, go to System > OAuth2 Applications.
Click Create app integration.
On the New OAuth2 application page, select Web Application, and enter a Name for the application.
Click Create.
Make a note of the Client ID and Client Secret. You will need them to configure Fivetran.
In the Redirect URIs field, enter
https://fivetran.com/integrations/adobe_workfront/oauth2/return.In the Name field, enter the name that you provided for the OAuth application.
Click Save.
Finish Fivetran configuration
In the connection setup form, enter your chosen Destination schema name.
Enter the Organization domain and Environment you found.
In the Authentication type drop-down menu, select one of the following authentication methods:
(Hybrid Deployment only) If your destination is configured for Hybrid Deployment, the Hybrid Deployment Agent associated with your destination is pre-selected for the connection. To assign a different agent, click Replace agent, select the agent you want to use, and click Use Agent.
Click Save & Test. Fivetran will take it from here and sync your Adobe Workfront data.
Migrate an existing connection to Adobe Developer Console
Follow the following steps to migrate your existing Fivetran connection from Workfront OAuth2 application (legacy) to Adobe Developer Console (recommended):
Create an Adobe Developer Console credential and grant its technical account user access to your Workfront data.
In your existing connection dashboard, go to the Setup tab and click Edit connection details.
In the Authentication type drop-down menu, select Adobe Developer Console.
Enter the Client ID and Client secret of the credential.
Click Save & Test.
- You do not need to re-sync your data after switching.
- Fivetran syncs only the data the technical account user is allowed to view. If the user's access level is more restrictive than that of the Workfront user who authorized the OAuth2 application, some tables or rows may stop syncing. Review the user's access level if you notice missing data after switching.
