Hello,     I am developing a workflow that I have set to start only when an item is modified and a "Approval Status" column equals "Send for Approval". However, this workflow will not start. I have allowed workflows to use app permissions on the site itself and have used both a "save" and a "save and submit" button on the form. Am I missing something? Any help is welcomed and thanks in advanced!

Is there anyway in a workflow to determine the "Assigned use" during runtime?  When doing development I would like to change who the e-mails are addressed to.  Rather than trying to create a variable and then needing to make sure it is changed, I would like to just see what the Assigned Use is to know that.

Hello everyone, I have Nintex 365 running for SharePoint online and I am wanting to send an email with attachments. I've spent a long time online trying to find answers but I still have no answers. My email looks a lot like this: TO: HelpdeskSubject: {Current Item: Job Number}:{Current Item: Site Name}Body: Please find attachments here: {Current Item: Attachments} The finished product looks like this: FROM: no-reply@mycompanysubject: NE15013:00003 : Water Houses (RES)Body: Please find attachments here: TRUE. Instead of showing "TRUE" for attachments how do I actually attach these documents?The workflow is linked to a LIST with ATTACHMENTS field. There are usually more than one attachment and the form was built in Nintex forms 365. Hope someone can help me. Best Regards, Andrew

Hello - I know it's possible to redirect users when the form has been submitted to a custom URL, but does any know if it's possible to redirect users when they click the cancel button?  We have a form linked in a central library and would prefer to keep them out of the source list which is what is presented when they cancel the form. Any suggestions and help will be appreciated. Thanks! Jason Hi Jason, You can easily do this by changing the Cancel button into a JavaScript button within its configuration, and writing a small JS function for it to call that redirects to the desired page.  Thanks Thanks Mike.  That's actually what we ended up doing after a little more research.  Initially it wasn't obvious to us that we could update the button action, but after we discovered that, we were good to go. i am new in Nintex form can you give me bit more description of what you have done with this? Hi Dlyva, These are the steps we took to accomplish the goal: FormExpand the custom JavaScript se

In the past few months, possibly longer, I have had issues with deleting references in multiple actions. I can place the cursor and hit backspace, but the reference stays. I can select the reference and hit delete or backspace, and the reference stays. The only solution I can find is to delete the whole action and start over - which in the case of just needing to change a reference in an email on an already configured task (or web request, etc) is quite a bit of trouble. I initially noticed this issue in Chrome, but am now seeing it in Firefox as well. I do not have trouble in Edge or IE, but other features of the designer do not work with those browsers, so I find I am switching back and forth, which is a pain. Saving/closing the workflow and re-opening in the same browser does not fix this. Has anyone else seen this and have some kind of solution for it?

So I looked all over the Forums and I see ways to do this but only On-Perm and not O365.I have a Repeating Section that person Inputs date and Discription.  works great on the Front end form but not in the Task form.  I have two Approvers I need to show the Repeating section in their Task Form but it comes up blank. is there a Fix for O365 to show Repeating Sections on Workflow Task Forms? Added Info:So I given this link aftersubmitting a Case  #eharris04 and #vadim_tabakman Created this. But I am so close to getting this to work.  When I put the Variables on the Task list I can get it to show the last entry in the repeating section.What it should be:What Shows on task form;I think it has to do with this last part on the Workflow:FOR EACH:Get Item form Collection: Log to History:  If this is not the issue what do you think the problem could be?The two Variables I have to the task form is DateInput (Usage Date) & StoreBusinessMatters (Business Matters) 

i need to show the tick mark , when the Attachement is add.Please anyone suggest me , how to do that.i have attachment the sample .

I am new to Nintex and having a big Learning Curve taking this over.   I have a Repeating Section and in this they Add a Date and some information, Is there a way to create a rule so they can not add two of the same date.  Example:  4/4/2019 & 4/4/2019.  If they do I can Disable the Submit Button. 

I have a library where a user will add an image as supporting metadata on a document. When the workflow kicks off, a task will be created and an email will be sent to a set of users. In that email body, I would like to embed the image that is included as metadata in the body of the email. I am running into issues making this happen. I am able to get the url out of the field and create a link to the image, but it would be ideal to get the image embedded into the email itself. Included a screen shot of my column of data.  

Regular Expression is bewildering.  I know dozens of programming languages at a basic-intermediate level and this one throws me for a loop!  Yes I have seen all the documentation and did Google searches but I just don't get the logic.  I have a workflow that I did not build and this Regular Expression pattern is not coming through like it is on the original list (rebuilding it).  Looks like the date format is even completely diffierent than the new one.  All I need is the year from the date... In this case, 2019.Variable holding the date contains: 4/23/2019 3:42:11 PM 

I heard that there is a new feature for office 365 that will provide similar functionality to Nintex LIVE on-prem 2013. Can anyone give a little more light to this new feature or application? I have requests from clients that want to have anonymous forms that will feed into their SharePoint o365 lists and libraries. 

I've got a workflow that uses the Excel Rest API get range to pull data from a workbook in a document library. The call is working and I can see the resulting XML response but I have not been able to get the data into a collection. The collection always comes out empty. I used an XPath Tester and was able to get just the values back with this expression but it does not return anything when used in the workflow.//GetRangeResult/anyType/anyType/text()Here is a sample of the XML that is returned by the Excel Rest API.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><GetRangeResponse xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/excel/server/webservices"><GetRangeResult><anyType xsi:type="ArrayOfAnyType"><anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">$10.56</anyType><anyType xsi:type="xsd:strin

I am creating a simple workflow that generates a pdf with data from a submitted form. Then, it sends the document (or a link to the document) to a specified user. I am running into issues with the URL the "Document Generation" workflow action is outputting. Currently, it is adding additional """ whic makes the link incorrect (screenshot below). Also, you cannot add the link saved as a variable as an attachment in an email because it is a "collection" variable and not a hyperlink variable. I'm sure others have had a similar request before. Any help is appreciated!

Hello,  New to Nintex here. I'm looking to dynamically add form fields based on  a number the user inputs. Say the user inputs that they have 4 entries they would like to add. I'd like to generate a form that then dynamically creates 4 form fields for entry. 

Very strange inconsistency, as out of 500+ items, only 2 have been submitted without an attachment.  I have the attachment control set with a minimum attachment of 1.  I cannot replicate it.  Every time I attempt to submit the form without an attachment, whether it's a new form or one that had already been submitted without an attachment, I receive the appropriate error message.  Any ideas how people could bypass this? Browser settings maybe?  

I've got a list of clients (external list) : An I'm trying to connect to the list with a Lookup control:However when I open the form and try, the dropdown is empty. When I try a REST test it works as expected ....sharepoint.com/sites/Proposals/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Clients')/Items?$select=ID,ClientCode,ClientName  

Hi All,I am new to Nintex & SharePoint. I am using Nintex workflow 2013 in SP 2013. We are migrating to Office 365 soon .

Hello everyone,   I have been running into some issues trying to alter the appearance of the checkboxes nintex uses.  The checkboxes in the edit view of the form are easy enough to see, but the check-boxes in the view mode are grey boxes on a grey background and we need a higher contrast option.  I know checkboxes can normally be altered using css classes, but i am not sure how to do this for nintex.  This link basically discusses what i would like to do.  http://www.inserthtml.com/2012/06/custom-form-radio-checkbox/ Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hoping someone has ideas on a workaround for something I've run into. List A has 11 lookup columns pointing to other site lists.List B has a Nintex form that uses the lookup runtime function to display values from List A on the form.Assume a 12th (or more) lookup column is added to List A:The new lookup columns in List A work as expected (display on form, select and save to list) A new lookup runtime function in List B that tries to lookup values in the 12th List A lookup column returns the error #value! I know in the past there was a limit of 12 list lookup columns, but we seem to be able to create more than this (14 in List A) and they function as expected.  The issue seems to be the Nintex form lookup runtime function not being able to connect to more than the 11th lookup column.Appreciate any thoughts or ideas.  

O365 SharePoint Online Nintex Workflow I have a "Start a Task Process"with 3 Outcomes1. Approved2. Rejected3. Revise Default outcome is set to "Approved"Assignment Behavior is set to "Parallel" If i were to set Completion Criteria to be "Wait for Specific Response" andRequired Outcome to be "Rejected" then the action will terminate once any 1 of the asignees responds with "Rejected", this is monitoring for a specific response "Rejected". My question is if it is possible to monitor for both "Rejected" and "Revise" and have the action terminate upon either of the outcome from any of the assignees ? Is this possible out of the box or is this possible via any workaround?  

I created a form in Resposiove design and saved it. Tweaked it and saved it again/ Next tiomeI came in to Nintex O365 it was gone. SO I built it again. Saved it. Gone. Are forms not saved unless you publish?

I am in the process of developing a form and during testing I have a user that is experiencing odd behavior. The choices in dropdowns are not entirely visible to the user when using Chrome. However, they appear fine for me. The users Chrome is up-to-date. Below is a screenshot of what the user is experiencing.  Has anyone ran into this issue and found a resolution? We are using Nintex for Office 365, which does support Chrome. Thanks in advance!    

Configured with Service account but instance runs with "app@SharePoint". Works fine when manually triggered but errors out when scheduled.  

Hey folks -  With the lack of controls for SQL / Web Request / BDC on O365 forms, have you found any ways around this? I have an SQL instance that I need to be able to reference from a form. Is there a way to mirror into SharePoint lists and use it as a look-up list without it being a BDC? Any fancy thoughts you've come up with??? Cheers,Rhia
