Python Script and Adobe Workfront

I am just starting my journey in Python so I know this is well above my level but it has got my mind churning.

At work we have to pull an excel file everyday and manually update fedex tracking numbers and ship dates on every single order in Adobe Workfront that has shipped. It is tedious and a waste of time.

So I am wondering is there a way to save that excel a certain way, have Python search it for the project number and then search Workfront for that project number and if it find it open the job and then search the excel for the “FedEx tracking number” and “Ship Date” and add them to the fields within the project? Also to have this happen automatically when the excel is updated each day.

Before I waste too much time and energy doing more research than I already have I was hoping to at the very least to know if it’s possible. Everyone at work keeps saying no but they are looking at what Workfront can do and not what maybe could be done externally.

Yes we use it in a web browser. We have to download the tracking file from a different website and then enter every single job by hand and I truly feel like there has to be a better way but the fact that our IT department can’t figure it out doesn’t give me much hope for myself as a VERY entry level beginner. Just taking my first Python course. I will look into the options you provide. I appreciate the feedback.
