Nintex for SharePoint

Validating a form control to not allow Special characters

I have what I would expect to be a simple validation of a form control not to have any special characters. It seems like a Regular Expression should handle this. I read this prior post which appeared to give me a simple answer of w+. I tried that and it didnt allow even valid alpha numberic characters. I also tried ^[a-zA-Z0-9] which I found by google searching. This allowed special characters still. Any ideas?

Nintex for Office 365

Trigger workflow to start when item is modified any time a Date form control is changed

How do you trigger a workflow to run anytime a Date control value changes? This could be changing from one date to a different date, or from a blank date to a filled in date.I believe this was possible to do in Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2013 as it had a “compare to previous value” option you could select. In Nintex Workflow for O365 that option is not there for some reason. I have tried this simple approach shown in screenshot with no luck.Is there any way to pull this off? Any chance the “compare to previous value” option could be added to this version of Nintex?

Choice Single control - Data Source Variable usage

The choice Single control now has an Insert tab for the choice options in the control’s configuration. This allows for a Data Source Variable to be selected.Inserting a flattened collection from a data source into this field gives you a dynamically generated list of choices.An array of objects can also be selected. When an object is select, two new fields will appear in the control’s configuration. The fields are “Option label” and “Option value”.Option label will display the text for the choices. Option value is the value that can be used elsewhere in the form or passed to the workflow. For example, the option label may show a list of states of the United States of America. When the user selects California the Option value can store the value Sacramento which is the capital city. This value is obtained from the Data Source Variable. For more information please see the Nintex Automation Cloud help files.https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nwc/Content/Designer/FormControls/ChoiceSingle.htm

Nintex Workflow for Office 365 Retiring?

I've heard chirps about Nintex is due to no longer support Nintex Workflow for O365 in a few years. We have been instructed to start migrating our workflows to NWC soon to support this however NWC is not as compatible with SPO lists as we would have hoped as we started migrating workflows. Is this true or a misunderstanding? I'm praying it is not true.....

File is locked for shared use by user

While trying to update an SharePoint online document from Nintex Workflow Cloud I'm getting the below error. Is it possible to catch the error and notify the admin (maybe by email) on this error or alternatively if the workflow could be updated to support co-authoring on the SharePoint online document that would be good too. Please help, any advice or alternatives would be appreciated. Thanks

Microsoft Exchange Online - Send to Multiple Users @ the same time

How in the world do you send one email to a group of users without looping for Microsoft Exchance Online connector? The option is to add fixed individuals if multiple one at a time. The fields for TO, CC and BCC does not recognize a collection of users so now we have to worry about looping through 1K + users? Am I missing something? How do I send one (1) email to 1,000 users at the same time on the same email as BCC? Where only the admin is listed in the TO field. Please help!We normally use the send an email provided in operations by Nintex but since this is a global automation initiative, we need it coming through as an internal email, not flagged as external email. This action is amazing and very little issues but I’m finding the exchange connector to be very difficult!!!!!

Using AI to generate your forms

I’m a big fan of applying technology where it makes sense. There’s massive interest in Chat GPT since it was released and people (myself included) have had a great time asking it questions. I have also seen some early adopters try to shoehorn it into their products but all they’re doing is putting their product UI over the Generative AI (GAI) engines. That’s not a very useful application of the technology. Nintex takes a balanced approach to AI. We need to apply it where it makes sense and we also need to apply it responsibly. One example where GAI makes a significant difference to building applications on the Nintex platform is the newly released AI forms builder. Prior to the AI forms builder, our options to build forms were to think about the fields that need to be on a form and then use the drag and drop interface to add and configure them. It’s fast and efficient. If you have existing forms, you can use our PDF import function. You save a picture of your existing forms in

Unsupport Commands at certain positions of a wizard

Why are some commands not supported at certain positions within a wizard? Is there a set of guidelines that outline what commands can’t be used at which position and for what reason? Trying to build a wizard and inserted an Advance Command to check if an UI object exists but getting the message to say its not supported at that position.

Automatically send DocuSign envelope on delivery option

Is there any way to set delivery options to automatically trigger a DocuSign envelope to send to the first signer automatically with a single click? We send out a large quantity of contracts that are generated with Nintex DocGen and then delivered via DocuSign. Currently, this requires a lot of clicks to preview/review DocGen Packages before they go out. We’ve done some messing around with delivery options, specifically the “Signing Preview and Edit” and “Auto Send” options, but these just seem to send the package to DocuSign as a draft (although yes, it does skip some of the review work).Is there any way to instead have these envelopes automatically send? Am I missing something?The delivery option in question is below:
