Adobe Workfront Fusion automates the process of repeating the same tasks, like document approval workflows, email filtering and sorting, allowing you to focus on new tasks instead of recurring ones. Adobe Workfront Fusion includes multiple scenarios. A scenario consists of series of modules which executes data transfer between applications and web services. In a scenario, you add various steps (modules) to automate a task.
For example, using Workfront Fusion, you can create a scenario to gather data with Adaptive Form, process the data, and send the data to a data store for archival. Once a scenario is set up, Workfront Fusion automatically executes the tasks whenever a user fills out a form, updating the data store seamlessly.
AEM Forms as a Cloud Service provides an OOTB connector to connect and submit an Adaptive Form to Adobe Workfront Fusion. Submitting a form to Adobe Workfront Fusion can offer several advantages:
- It enabled seamless transfer of form submissions data to Workfront Fusion workflows.
- It helps automate various tasks triggered by form submissions. This can include initiating projects, assigning tasks to specific team members, sending notifications, and updating project statuses—all without manual intervention.
- All form submissions captured within Workfront Fusion, provide a single source of truth for project-related information
