Hey Community!

I'm currently working on a big workflow with loops and many flexi-tasks. In the current test phase it is often necessary to change the texts of the mail notifications, which is a lot of work. Sometimes only one word changed and I have to change it in 10 flexi tasks. I'm searching for an easy way to create a mail-template where I can store the main part of the mail with nintex references, rich text formatting and so on and kind of link it into the flexi task mail window.

I looked into variables, but couldn't figure out how to store rich text formatting or nintex references in it, only plain text. What am I missing? Or do you have other hints for me? Any hint is highly appreciated!

With kind regards!

Hi Tim,

I use a list to store information for specific emails.  The workflow then retrieves the list item based on a key value, title = New Item.  This item contains other fields that contain all my New Item Email customizations.  Hope that helps.


Hey Joseph!

Thank you for your answer!

Tried this already but the problem here are the nintex variables and references I need in the text. I can store normal text with formatting in the list and get it via a query list action and storing it into a multiline variable. What didn't work are references. For example I have a hyperlink with url: {Common:ItemUrl}?web=1 und name: {ItemProperty:FileLeafRef}. Even when I embed the sourcecode for it into the list item, it will be changed, so that nintex can't display it the correct way.

I also tried using Build String and a Multiline Variable, but also this didn't work in the end. Text works fine, but I can't place hyperlinks for example.

Kind regards!


Hi tiwookie,

Sorry that I'm a little late getting back to you.  You'll need to checkmark the Output options - Include HTML formatting in rich text in your Query List Action.

Hello,


I know this was long ago, but did you ever get it to work?  I've followed Joseph's specifications, but mine still isn't passing the variable/item property reference from one list to another intact.  I'd really appreciate knowing what your end state was.


Thank you.
