Hi I'm trying to set up a Condition where if a drop down is selected on a InfoPath form it will send a request to a specific approver. So if a user selects Word the request for Approval goes to Manager X and if a user requests Excel the approval goes to Manager Y. I'm using Nintex 2010. Any help appreciated.

Greetings, I have an O365 Nintex workflow that has a Send An Email action configured to send out an email with a PDF attachment from a document library from within the same site. The workflow gets terminated once it is kicked off with the following error:  RequestorId: 8f807160-aeae-4fc1-0000-000000000000. Details: System.Activities.Statements.WorkflowTerminatedException: Attachment file URL is not valid for: File name.pdf  Steps I took to configure the Send An Email action. Added email recipients and subject line information. Set Email Service to "External email and attachment" Check the Email Attachments checkbox, pasted the document URL in the URL field and clicked on "Include Attachment" button. File Name appears below the "Include Attachment" button. Added the contents of the body of the email and saved the Send an Email action. I am not sure if anyone else ran into this issue and found a fix for this or whether support can chime to see if I am doing

Hi All, I am facing an issue with the yammer message action(it will post the new message into Yammer group from the Nintex workflow). I am able to post new yammer message to some yammer groups by using the yammer message action. But with few groups I am facing an issue, the posted message not moving to the specified yammer group. Posted message moving to the All Company yammer group(Default group) In my research, I have found if we are not specifying any group name in the yammer message action options, posted message will move to All Company group. But I am specifying the correct group name, still the yammer message action posting to the All Company group. So can anybody help me in this issue? Please provide your valuable suggestions?if any body need more information please ask me.. Thanks in advance...

Dear Team,     Here is my scenario. I am using Nintex o365. I have an AD group which is in sync with AAD. I could see this group on SharePoint site. Now I am assigning a task to this group and enabled "Lazy Approval" functionality. Workflow was able to generate the task and I could see GUID showing on task subject line. I tried to reply back with "Approved" it didn't work.  Later I created a SP group and added this AD group there and assigned task to SP group. I could again see the task email with GUID but when I replied "approved" lazy approval didn't work. Now I simply added two users in my SP group instead of AD group. Both the users received the task and were able to approve using lazy approval.  My question is what is wrong if I only add AD group in SP group or just assign task directly to AD group. Is there any specific setting required at AAD level ? AD group -- This is a universal security group with email enabled.  Note: This AD group is working fine in workflow. Group is rece

I intend to create a form of multiple pages and would just like to know if it is possible to show latter pages or hide latter pages of a form based on if the checkbox was checked or unchecked.

Hi, Nintex newbie here. I am setting a string variable from a field in a list item. The field is optional, so I need to know whether the variable contains a value or not. I am using a 'Run If' action to check the variable, but I only get options to check if the variable is 'equals' or 'not equals' to a value. There is no 'is empty' option.I created another variable, and I am not setting a value to it, thereby leaving it null, and then I am comparing the two variables. It's not working, however.Is there another way I can use to do this? Many thanks in advance!  Kasia.

I have created one Nintex form with repeating section. I have used Osama Mourad: Nintex Repeating Section – JSLink to view repeating section data in list view. working fine until here.My question is can we control the view of columns in list view table which I rendering using JS link. table in list view showing all the columns in repeating section and I don't want that.  My Repeating section contains calculated field columns too and I don't want to show calculated columns in the table. Is it possible?I have a person and group field in repeating section and it showing as ID instead of showing display name(see in the below screen print) how to change or make it show display full name?  Thanks in Advance!

So, following along with this tutorial: How to design a Multi-Step form with Nintex Forms for Office 365 , I got pretty far on my multi-page form! But, I want to show certain pages conditionally, which led me to this question: Skip pages in a multi-step form .  My case is slightly different, however, as I'm not checking exactly a checkbox status, I'm seeing if a checkbox is checked in a multi-select choice control. As I'm AWFUL at Javascript (read: useless) I'm a bit stuck. I found this comment from Sean Fiene‌, https://community.nintex.com/message/25778#comment-26033  about identifying the multi-select checkbox bits, and I got his "showMe" function to work great, but I guess I'm stuck on putting the puzzle pieces together. Right now my form looks a bit like this: The "IT Request Information" should only show if "IT Request" is checked, and there are other panels that are the same way (ex there's a panel for "Mobile Device" and "Employee Transfer TO your team" etc).  If anyone could al

I am attempting to query against Skype for business as part of my nintex workflow.  I only want to assign a task to the user if they have been online within the last 4 hours (this should avoid people being on vacation being assigned tasks).

Gurus, Let's say we have a workflow called GetApprovals.  The GetApprovals workflow contains a Start Workflow action that calls another workflow called GetFirstApproval.  Is it possible to return a value from the GetFirstApproval workflow to its caller (GetApprovals)? Chris

Is there a way to run NWadmin functions for workflow in Office 365 or achieve the same effect?  Specifically, the NWAdmin.exe -o DelegateAllTasks ... function for blanket delegation of current tasks from one user to another.  Thanks,

Hi!I would like to add a "Today date" column to be able to show a deviation between the deadline of a task and today date. This should be refreshed daily to be able to monitor our system, but I couldn't find a solution so far. As I know [Today]function isn't refreshing and cannot be used by calculated columns so I started a workflow with adding the following functions and updating the list item I created but I don't know how to repeat the workflow exactly to be able to refresh daily:Thank you in advance!

Hi, I have a customer requirement to copy a file from a SharePoint 2013 on-premise instance to a SharePoint online instance, both installed with Nintex Workflow Enterprise. The file should be copied complete with metadata but version history is not required. I'm wondering what Nintex actions support such a scenario? Or if it is more custom but still quite feasible? Thanks,Sean

I have a form with several fields that need to have the same data of the last form submission.  What is the best way for a field to have the same last data from the previous entry?  This is for multiple entries made to the same area,  owner, date etc.

Hello team. We recently set Assign a Task notification due dates to = the date the action is executed. Task notifications are followed by reminder emails to be sent daily when a task becomes overdue. The result is somewhat confusing – the initial task notification and overdue reminder emails arrived simultaneously.  Any ideas?  Also... in the Number of times to repeat section of the reminder email options, is there a way to send 'until completed' rather than a set number of days? Ideally, we'd like reminders to go out until a task is completed without regard to how many days that might take. Including a screenshot of the scenario in paragraph 1. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!! 

Hi, I've been working with editing the task form in Nintex workflow 365. I think we could really take advantage of this except for two issues: 1. For some reason the 'body' field does not appear as a task column in the designer.2. When you use a content webpart (to create a list of 'my tasks' from the site), and click on a task with a Nintex form, you get a 'this item cannot be found. It may have been moved or deleted' error. Any thoughts on how I can get around either issue? Thanks!

I have a repeating section that includes a yes/no checkbox and a single line text box.  The  text box if for users to manually add to a project task list.  I want the entry in the text box to change formatting (strike through, turn grey, something) when the yes/no box is checked.  This doesn't work and I cannot find any documentation around this.

I have a two part question relating to List A & B: 1) I created a workflow that will create a new task item in List B when a new item is created in List B - mapping a description (multiple lines of text) to a name (single line of text). In the test environment, it creates the item perfectly with the description matching the name. When I do it in the production environment, there is <div class="ExternalClassEBE167AC80AF4518BCA70D3A0566E875">DESCRIPTION<span id="ms-rterangecursor-start"></span><span id="ms-rterangecursor-end"></span></div>. Why would it do this here when in my sandbox SharePoint it doesn't?2) Same workflow, I want to Start a Workflow in the List B when the new item from List A is created. I put a 5 min pause after the create list item action but the Start a Workflow action comes back with this error every time 'Cannot contact sire at the specified URL https:xxxx.sharepoint.com/xx/. There is no Web named "/xxx/xxxxxx/xxxx".' This ha

How can I retrieve the Manager info for a user assigned in the initial form input and not the initiator? I can get the manager info back for whom ever is logged in and completed the form. However, a sales person is assigned in the form (another person in our company) and want to retrieve the manager info of the sales person. I have tried many different ways and am unable to figure this out. Any ideas are appreciated! 

Hello! I am creating an event sign up form through Nintex Forms for Office 365 / Sharepoint Online. My issue is that I want to make a sign up button that a user can click when viewing the form and it will populate the attendees field (person / group column; accepts multiple) with a user object like in the picture below.  Is there a quick and easy way to do this in javascript or in field settings? I do want it to show as an person object as it will then be saved back to the Attendees column as a person and not just a text of the user's display name.*Edit* I don't want to this to be on load, the end user will be viewing the form and deciding if they want to join this event or not. ** Any ideas? I'm fairly new to Nintex / Office 365 / Sharepoint Online, feel free to correct me if I'm going about things the wrong way. Thanks, -Trang

When adding a custom CSS class to the cancel button on a form (mainly used to style and theme based on the branding of my company) it gathers the custom class say, "cancelBtn" and also the other classes, but doesn't have the space between the custom and the form added classes. So the button now looks like (with custom class)<div class="nf-filler-control-inner">  <input type="submit" XXXXXXX class="cancelBtnfn-cancel-button nf-disableonsubmit" XXXXXX></div> Anyone else see this as well? Possible bug?
