FAQ about Workfront Jira Integration
Bi-directional Workfront Jira Integration is the synchronization of two datasets. This allows them to act as one while still maintaining their individual distinction as separate.
Bi-directional Jira Workfront integration allows you to sync projects, tasks, comments, documents, and project teams between Jira and Workfront. This provides a great advantage in keeping your workflow running smoothly.
Workfront integration with Jira by Put It Forward makes it quick to adjust the fields to sync, how they map, and conditions for when to trigger the synchronization process.
Workfront Jira integration allows you to do a data load, synchronize across systems, export, add data quality checks or govern your data. There are three easy steps to start with it:
1. Point the pre-built connectors from Put it Forward or use your own connector to automatically integrate the source and destination.
