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

My append/history workflow does not work when there is an attachment

I have a Nintex workflow that takes the who, when and what from a comments field and stores it in a read only Total comments field. It works only when there is no attachment in the form. This is a huge liability for our business owners. Any way around this? I have submitted a ticket with I.T. and nintex with no success.

Migrating to NAC - SharePoint choice column?

I am migrating from Nintex for O365 to NAC. I have a process with a ton of choice columns that users must select or update in task forms. I was hoping to use lookup columns on SharePoint and data source lookups in NAC. Here are my issues:Lookup column from the start event shows item ID not a label. Is there a way to fix it? When using a NAC multichoice linked to a data source variable I don't see an option to bring a default selection from SP lookup - is that the case? Is there a way to update a SP lookup field using selections from the NAC multichoice linked to a data source variable? OR should I just stick to choice fields and maintain them in 2 locations: SP and NAC. Will that work for showing exiting selections from SP and updating back to SP? Haven't tested it yet.

Nintex Cloud Xtensions with SPO fail to Add a connection

Good morning,I’m a newcomer in NWC and Azure. Recently I found an example in Nintex Xtension gallery: https://gallery.nintex.com/t/sharepoint-online-additional-web-actionsI followed the steps in article to create this Xtension and asked my Azure admin to grant permission of SharePoint Online API Permission in Azure. However, the error said when I clicked add a connection in NWC that “The authorization server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.”I’ve managed to change my security objects or even the authentication of redirect URI. In Configure platforms if I chose from Web to SPA(single-page application), the error said “the Proof Key for Code Exchange is required for cross-origin authorization code redemption.”Did anyone have any idea? Thank you!

Checking on a SharePoint list

Hello, I am currenty creating a workflow which is several forms assigned to several people to gather informations and create a Sharepoint Item which includes all of this info.User A fills the first form, B the second one, C the third one and D the last one. It’s a sequential workflow and C & D can fill their forms at the same time, but not before B and B not before A.B can see what A filled, C what B and A filled and D can see what all the others have filled. When A has finished putting info in his form, all those infos go into a sharepoint item, which keeps getting more detailed as more users fill their respective forms. What i’m asked to do now is, between each form being filled, check on the sharepoint, and if an info is changed on the SharePoint, reflect this change in the next form. What i did is, right before the second form is sent to the B user, i request an item in Sharepoint, extract the field at their current state, and use them to fill the part that the next person can

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?

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
