Overview
The Knak and Workfront integration helps you manage reviews and approvals in one place. You can link assets, sync comments, and track status without switching tools.
Demo
Link a Workfront Task and Sync a Proof
Connect your Knak asset to Workfront and create a proof in one flow.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Open your task in Workfront
Copy the task URL
Use a task URL only
Do not use a project URL
Open your asset in Knak
Click the Info tab
Go to the Project Management section
Paste the Workfront task URL
Select the Initiate proof when syncing checkbox
Note: This option does not create a proof on its own. It only enables proof creation when you run a sync.
Click Save to confirm the asset link
Click Sync to create the proof
The proof appears in Workfront after the sync completes.
What Happens After Sync
Asset status and URL appear in Workfront
Data shows under Task Details → Knak Integration Fields
Where to Find the Proof

Go to the Documents section
You can view both desktop and mobile proofs there.
Sync Comments Between Knak and Workfront
Comments added in Knak sync to Workfront

This keeps feedback in one place.
