** Moved from 'Nintex for SharePoint' ** Firstly, I have to state that I am pretty new to Nintex Workflow so sorry if this is such a basic question. I have searched by the precise question I am asking is not showing, and any other responses are 4 years old. I have a workflow that has multiple (linear) approvals moving through different groups... Each group has an associated Site Permission group with the various members. In the "Assign a task" action, it's configured to assign to the permission group (with lazy approval on) and it creates the task correctly however none of the members receive the notification that a task has been assigned to their group. It works fine if the names are specified individually. Am I doing something stupid (wouldn't be the first time!) Thanks.

The Office 365 update item permissions action is causing my workflow to suspend each time it is ran.I get this error each time:Details: ServiceNoResponseThe username is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the username specified.In my workflow, I have 6 Run If actions, 2 of which have the permissions actions in them. The other 4 work just fine.In the 2 Run Ifs, I have two Office 365 update item permissions actions in each. One is configured to allow two users from the current item: [%Current Item: Process Owner%] and [%Current Item: Manager Responsible%] to have edit access. The other is configured to provide the site's default owners group to have design access (this is the same for both Run Ifs). The email that should send out is addressed to 2 users from the current item: [%Current Item: Process Owner%] and [%Current Item: Manager Responsible%]. CC'd are [%Workflow Context: InitiatorUserId%] and [%CurrentItem:CC UserID%]. When testing, I set myself as all 3 (cur

Folks,I have a requirement to build out a form that supports multi-pages. This must be built in responsive (mobile ready).  I've noticed that when printing a form to PDF that has got multiple pages that only the currently displayed page is printed. The client requires the entire form be printed (i.e. all pages). I have noticed various suggestions concerning using convert to document via workflow, however, that will not solve the issue given that the print must be on demand (i.e. when the form is displayed). Any suggestions? Please do not suggest (a) use Classic forms (b) use a workflow workaround  Cheers G

Hi, In some users PC, when they open classic Nintex form and got "Loading" screen and without and response.  After my troubleshooting, when open the form, the form will reach the following URL to load the jQuery:https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.10.2.min.jsBut the PC cannot reach the above URL, even ping the "ajax.aspnetcdn.com", still no response.Now, I would download the js file and upload to SharePoint Document library, and then may I know how to point jQuery JS file to one of the Document library? Thanks!

We are using LiveTiles as our presentatuion layer in O365. We have many site collections created for our teams to display information on onur intranet. Within these site collections we the users are able to create Nintex Forms for colelction of data. We would like to be able to surface the forms from different site collections in a forms portal using LiveTiles.   Can anyone assist in telling us how to do this? Is this at all possible with LiveTiles or SharePoint modern?

I have a workflow that will generate and populate the columns correctly in my Sharepoint list. However, for some of these workflows, when I look at the internal status it is "suspended", status will state "Assigned to X" , not "completed", and tasks will not be sent out. What is odd is that this will only happen for some workflows, and not for others, especially since the workflows are of the same nature. There appears to be no rhyme nor reason as to which workflows end up "suspended" and which end up as "completed".I get the following error code:RequestorId: 696140d2-86b2-0b0c-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.InvalidOperationException: Looking up a value using a key is not supported on an instance of 'Microsoft.Activities.Dynamic.DynamicJsonPrimitive'. at Microsoft.Activities.Dynamic.DynamicItem.TryGetValue(String key, DynamicItem& value) at Microsoft.Activities.Dynamic.DynamicValue

Hi There, We are experiencing issues in opening up Nintex forms in Nintex Designer to make any changes. We are getting an error: User Access token redemption failed for site "url" using app with host name formso365.nintex.com. 400 (BadRequest) response received from OAuth endpoint. Is it due to the degraded performance reported on the service status as shown in the screenshot below? Is there a workaround?

Hello,I have one site collection with one subsite. I create a site workflow for technical reason. I would like to use "Office 365 Upload file" action but i have an error :"An exception occurred while processing parameter [InputFileToUpload]" See my configuration below.  This is the "ServerRelativeUrl" of my document : /sites/<NameSiteCollection>/<SubsiteName>/<MyLib>/<FolderParent>/<FolderChild>/<myDoc>.docxAnd i put this value on that field in Nintex Action :   I don't understand why this doesn't work because "ServerRelativeUrl" is the correct parameter if i see the nintex documentation, they say we have to put the relative url of the document "<LibraryName>/<MyDoc>.docx".This value is returned from SharePoint REST API : Thanks in advance to help me

I am in the process of creating a new workflow that automates the creation of a site.  I am using the Office 365 Create Site Collection action.  The workflow runs and the item is added to my list.  However, the workflow suspends and I get the following message: "The site collection URL name 'https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/' is invalid" I have used variations of the URL name but gets basically the same error.https://tenant.sharepoint.com/https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/https://tenant.sharepoint.com/teams/https://tenant.sharepoint.com/teams/‍{Current Item:SiteTitle} I have been unable to get past this message.   

Hi There, We have a complex nintex form for a list on SharePoint Online with many attachment controls. We extract the attachments from the list and upload it on to a document library and have the approvals done using the nintex workflow. We use the action "Office 365 upload file" to upload the files on to document library.  The workflow worked fine until 26th Feb. We have not make any changes to the workflow. The issue that has come up is, the items with attachments where the file name has got space is getting suspended. we are getting the exception: "An Exception occurred while processing parameter [InputFileToUpload]". We a regular Expression action to remove the spaces from the file name before uploading it. However, even though the space is getting removed from the file name, we encounter the same error. While attaching the file if we select the file without spaces, the workflow is running without any issues. I have tried uploading the documents in a new library as well. Even with

"Looking up a value using a key is not supported on an instance"

Hope someone can help, and that this hasn't been covered before.  I am writing some very basic email workflows, that call for the Initiators' Managers' Name and Email to be used. User Profile Service is on and trusted. The Workflow does not fail. But no emails are sent.  ‍{Workflow Context:Manager email address}‍‍{Workflow Context:Manager display name}‍ I have also setup a REALLY simple test workflow that should return Manager details within an email message body directly to my work email address - this does not fail, but neither does it send the email? Is there an obvious step I am missing? 

I have a simple workflow scheduled which collects data from a SharePoint list as variables. It runs a For Each action, pulling Collection variables and sending an email to the responsible parties.I send an email to myself prior to the For Each action to test that the variables are being collected properly. The email Collection ( varCollTxtSendTo ) contains correct data - my email address in both cases.    In the Send an Email action at the bottom of the For Each set, I use the variable “varTxtSendTo” in the To: field. When I do this I receive NO EMAILS ( I am using my own email address to test in the Collection. ) If I add my own name manually to the To: section in the "Send An Email" action I receive all the emails – in this case, 1 which contains the Variable Test, and 2 emails which are sent for each respective list item it runs on. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

In Nintex Online for Office 365, the Print to PDF button is available in ribbon. But if you want to implement the same functionally in your custom button then follow below steps. Step 1: Add a button, Set the propertyButton Action: JavaScript Button Type: Button Button Lebel: Print to PDF Cause Validation: No Client Click: printToPDF(); Step 2: Goto Ribbon- Designer- Form Settings-Custom JavaScript and add below code function printToPDF(){ NF.PrintToPDF(window).Print(); return false;}Click Save - Publish the Form By default, it will print the whole form. But if you want to hide certain elements on PDF, at first hide using jQuery and then call NF.PrintToPDF(window).Print() function, like function printToPDF(){ NWF$('.menuButton').hide(); NF.PrintToPDF(window).Print(); NWF$('.menuButton').show(); return false;}:-)Thanks,Jayant

SPO and Nintex Workflow issue...I have a very simple workflow that is published to production.  When an item is created, based on a condition, an email should send to a particular person.  However, when I create a record that meets the condition, no Workflow is firing.  Even when I try to manually trigger it, I get an error.I added a "Log to History" to see if it's even starting, and nothing logs.  Am I missing something on the Site that I need to enable to allow Nintex Worflows to run?

Date format does not work in NIntex O365 fn-FormatDate(‍{Variable:TaskDueDate},dddd)..Outputs the entire string back. This has been raise quite a few times in the community but have not seen a solution yet. I also tried fn-FormatDate(‍{TextStart}{Variable:TaskDueDate}{TextEnd},dddd). this gives empty string.

Hello,   So one of our sharepoint sites got an updated Nintex forms, so I decided to try and create a test run for the new designer. They do not save the values at all, and everytime I publish it, the actions disconnect themselves from the columns they are supposed to connect.   I tried the responsive designer (last year version) and it works flawlessly.

When we use API call to trigger the component workflow, we will include some objects in the body of API call. In Nintex workflow cloud, we can check what data we received from the field "Start instance data". (Picture above) But in Nitex for office 365, how can we find those data?If other platforms transfer other objects rathar than onject "startData", how can we retrieve the variable from it? Thanks.  

Hello there, We have a nintex form. When I try to submit after entering the data I get an error "Value does not fall within the expected range." I have even deleted the data field. The item is saved to SharePoint. SharePoint wouldn't have saved if there is something wrong with the data type.I have searched nintex community and it seems no one had this issue before.Any assistance is much appreciated. Regards,Victor.

Hi,   Is there a way to identify list of Nintex workflows in SharePoint Online?

I'm currently trying to send an email with a URL. I have a site workflow that loops through a library and pulls metadata from certain documents. I put that through a Build String and that Build String into an email. The problem comes that no matter how I pull the URL, the email only shows </div>. Am I missing something?
