Hi @kalyan_chakravarthych

To integrate Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) with Adobe Workfront, you can follow the detailed instructions provided in the following documentations:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/integrations-learn/experience-cloud/integrations-between-applications/experience-manager/workfront-experience-manager

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/assets-essentials/workfront/overview

Integration Steps:

1. Prerequisites

  • Ensure you have both AEM and Workfront instances set up.
  • Required permissions and API access should be configured in both systems.

2. Install and Configure the Connector

  • For AEM as a Cloud Service: Use the native integration or enhanced connector for integration. The native integration is recommended for AEM as a Cloud Service.
  • For AEM 6.5 or Later: Use the legacy connector or the enhanced connector based on your specific requirements.

3. Configure AEM

  • Externalizer Setup: Configure the AEM Externalizer to allow linking with Workfront documents.
  • Cloud Services: Navigate to Tools > Cloud Services in AEM and set up the Workfront integration configuration.

4. Configure Workfront

  • API and Custom Integration: Set up API keys in Workfront and configure custom integration settings to connect with AEM.
  • Metadata Mapping: Map Workfront fields to AEM Asset metadata properties to ensure proper data transfer.

5. Testing and Validation

  • Conduct integration tests to ensure assets and metadata are correctly transferred and accessible in both systems.
  • Verify user permissions and access rights in both AEM and Workfront.

Please let me know if you have any more queries.

Thank you,
