Out of Office Task Delegation - Nintex Automation Cloud

Hi,Some time back we launched Task Delegation for NAC so that a task assignee, or somebody given the Business Owner role for a given Workflow could change who tasks are allocated to without updating the workflow design. A natural progression from this is to allow users to set themselves as out of office, or have an administrator do it for them, which will delegate all tasks present and future to another user.While we don’t have that feature out of the box yet it’s easy enough to build!There are many ways to skin this particular cat, but let me share one approach.ProblemWe want to enable users to set themselves out of office for a particular time duration.ApproachWe can use a Workflow with a Start Form to populate a Nintex Table with the following structure:Form: The workflow uses the new Nintex Tables Create a Row action to populate a table like this: We can then use a scheduled workflow that runs everyday to delegate tasks.This approach uses the Nintex APIs, and requires an Applicatio

How to reference an task created by workflow

I am creating a task assigning it to our IT group so that anyone in that group can complete the task. I have to send the notification to our Helpdesk application via Email. I created a parallel action. One branch creates the task, the other branch waits for a minute and then sends the notification to the Helpdesk. In the notification, I would like to reference the task created. How do I get the value of the task created? The “Store Task Id” in variable isn’t populated until the task has been completed. How else can we get the value of the task ID?

Is there a way to share "TODO" with more than One person? Not "ReAssign," but share

In other words, the TODO would show up on two or more people’s dashboards: One dashboard where TODO shows is on the originator-of-the-TODO, and the other dashboard(s) the TODO shows is on any other user the originator specifiedThank you in advance for helping with this question!

Transfer Data Label value from Form to Variables in workflow

Hello There! I need to transfer data label value from Form to variable in the workflow, I used two different form in this workflow (Submit Form & Review Form), So I transferred data from the submitted form successfully by using (On submitted button clicked) rule > then use (start a workflow) rule inside it and pass the value by (workflow fields) as shown here. But the problem is when I need to transfer data from (Review Form) to the workflow and since I cannot use (start a workflow) rule I tried to use (Action a worklist item) rule to transfer the data to the workflow as shown here. the data did not transfer to the workflow because I always get (Not Cancel) Action in the workflow which means the variable here is empty.I’m pretty sure that the data label in (Review Form) contains value and it’s not empty. I hope to find someone who can help me find a solution to my problem.Many Thanks.

RegEx to strip all HTML from rich text field

Hi,We are creating a PDF using Document Generator in NAC. The problem is when we add a Rich Text field from the SharePoint item all the HTML is printed as well. I know we will need to use a regex to remove the HTML. Does anyone have any idea on what the pattern should be or if there is a different approach I should follow? Thanks Chris

The bad thing with expired access tokens for connections - Please Vote

Currently it's very hard to keep component workflow tokens expiration dates on track. Expired tokens will certainly cause downtime with Nintex integration.Since there's no current API for:- 1) retrieving when the workflow tokens will expire- 2) regenerate the token for a specific workflowIt's impossible to automatize the process of refreshing the tokens.Given that, a simpler solution would be a configuration where we can define that a token should *never expire*Please, everybody: Vote for this: Add option so workflow component tokens will not expire | Nintex IdeasThanks Bruno for bringing this up.

Simple Setup Template Reuse

I am attempting to reuse a simple template more than once with different values for a Fixed Text JotBlock via the Submit API. I would like to have multiple pages of the template attached to the root template with different input data per attachment via the template. When I attempt to send a second new version of the template all of the send input values from the initial template are displayed in every subsequent use of the template even thought the sent values are different from the initial use of the template. I am including a simple version of the JSON data that is being sent below as an example.Basically, I am attempting to include the same template multiple times with varying values for the fixed text JotBlock to show as additional pages.I am also including a sample of the C# code that is sending the request.The end result is that the values from the first use of the template are used for all additional uses regardless of what is sent.

HTML Email Background Colour Issies

Hi all, Hoping someone can help me. I am trying to design an email using some HTML code. I am using a WYSIWYG HTML editor to create an email (since I dont have the 100% HTML knowledge). In the WYSIWYG editor, my email looks like the below (information blurred for privacy). So I copy the code into Nintex, and it looks the same. However, when the email gets sent, some of the background colours disappear. I am so confused. (again information blurred for privacy) Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this? Thanks!

parsing / query

I am using Xtensions to call an internal web API that returns data in JSON format, and I now want to parse through that JSON to get the value I want. The workflow action that calls the API will store the result in a collection variable. I have to use a “Get item from collection” action to make it readable by the “Query JSON” action. I do this all time for the easy stuff. Now I have an issue because now the value I want is within an array of values in the JSON. If I did a Query JSON action, I would have to use something like [0] or [1] in the JSON expression to obtain the first entry, or the second entry, etc. I want to loop through all the entries.My idea is that I can “Query JSON” to obtain the portion of JSON that contains that array, then I can do a loop action or For Each action. However, when I use “Count items in collection” it only returns a count of 1. This is incorrect. In my test data, there should be 5 items. Is there another method of counting these items?Another t
