Archive: Nintex for Office 365 Forum

Just in the past two days as I have resumed testing for my O365 workflow I have noticed that the workflow in my state machine works perfectly until the document generation action then halts with no errors.  The action is in the last state of RMA Complete.  Any suggestions as to what I can try to fix this?

I'm and working on a few workflows for O365 that send out email notifications and I'm running into an issue. We currently flag all external emails and place a "This is an external email" heading about them. This allows users to know the email came from an external source so they will verify the email isn't phishing. However, since SharePoint Online is considered an external source, it gets tag as well. We don't want to exclude SharePoint or Nintex entirely because they come from generic "No-reply" emails and you cannot set the "From" field like you can On-Premise. Is there a way to add a custom header to the email (i.e. X-Custom-Header: abc123)? This would allow us to exclude that header from the external email rule. Also, if anyone has other suggestions those are welcomed as well. Thanks in advance!

Page border of Nintex form is showing up partially and kind of incomplete. All 4 edges are not appearing properly with the form. Form borders are not adjusting automatically with the page height and width. This looks odd when pdf is generated. I could solve this by following approaches : 1. Increasing page height and width, so as to show up the missing borders. 2. Other wise, override the following style class with new definition. In my case, the border is not required so that i could hide it altogether. Append this style class in the custom CSS under form setting, so that this gets rendered in the form.  .nf-filler-container{border: 0px !important;}

I have one currency type field in repeating section. I need to format that field and show in this format "$123,456.00". I tried w using with 'single line of text' field and number type field to change the format but its not formatting in repeating section. can any one help to achieve this?  Thank You!

I can collect the details, but when they are saved in the item they appear as:  *all approver names, all approver comments, all approver outcomes. I want: *approver 1 name - approver 1 comment - approver 1 outcome*approver 2 name - approver 2 comment - approver 2 outcome

When my workflows run, the SharePoint List modified by shows as "me" rather than the person who triggered the workflow or as "Nintex". I want the workflow actions in the History of the SharePoint List to show any actions, e.g. Update List, to show as Modified By "Nintex Workflow". I created a service account, logged in under that account and created a new workflow, but when I run the workflow, it is showing as my name again. How can I ensure that the Workflow Actions show as run by Nintex Workflow ?

Nintex form does not load in Internet explorer. Loads fine in chrome and edge. Check the console and network tabs in IE but does not seem to have any errors. 

Hi All, I'm using the Office 365 Create site action which works fine except when the site exists.The workflow will suspend itself in SharePoint with "ServiceNoResponse" with the latest output as :The Web site address "/sites/[site requested]" is already in use. I would like to add error checking either before or during this action so if the site exists not to perform that action. 1) How can I check if a site exists so this action will not be executed.I went down the path of Web API such as /_api/web/URL but wasn't very successful, and hoping to have a native action within nintex. 2) Because the workflow suspends during this action I can not terminate the workflow based on an variable output.  Thanks for any suggestion!  

Hi, I have a list with a Choice field set to 'Allow 'Fill-in' choices'. On the form this displays with the text label of 'Specify your own value:'. Is there any way I can change this to a custom label?

Hello all -  I am attempting to call some web services to automate the update of chat bots and have been successful, but am wondering if there is a better, more streamlined way to do it. I am unable to insert variables into the request body and have to split everything up. I have tried using the Build String action as well as a Dictionary, both come through as empty. Build String Action: Dictionary Action:Result in wf: For now I am doing something like this:var_body1 = {"startData": {"se_title": "var_body2 = ","se_answer": "var_body3 = "}} So then I insert all 5 variables...{Variable:var_body1}{CurrentItem:Title}{Variable:var_body2}{CurrentItem:Answer}{Variable:var_body3} This works, but why do I have to jump through this many variables just to construct the body of a web service call? Imagine if I needed to insert 5 variables? 10? You see where I am going with this....  Is there something that I am overlooking in my syntax or something more "Nintex" specific" that I have to incorporat

I am trying to build a workflow to iterate through a list based on IDs. I found this great PDF/Tutorial, but, of course, it's not for Office 365 and the actions look so different I have no idea what to use for "Call Web service" here:   I am trying to follow the PDF which is attached on this post: How to design a workflow that cycles through all items within a list   This is what's in the PDF (left) versus what I see in O365:  ThanksMark

I used a Query List action to get Titles for all items in the list and saved it in a Collection variable. Next I want to do the For Each action and compare the title to items in the different list. It all works as expected on-prem but there is something different with the Collection variable in O365. Here is my Collection variable:[{"Title":"12-2812"},{"Title":"12-2816"},{"Title":"12-2817"},{"Title":"12-2818"},{"Title":"12-2819"},{"Title":"12-2820"},{"Title":"12-2821"},{"Title":"12-2822"},{"Title":"12-2823"},{"Title":"12-2824"}]Once I run For Each it seems to return "Title":"12-2812" instead of just 12-2812. How do I get just a value from a collection variable to compare to another list?

We have a workflow that is utilizing the "Assign a Task" feature. We have provided users with the ability to approve these tasks via SharePoint using a Nintex Form and changing their "Approver Status," but we're interested in allowing them to utilize the "Lazy Approval." We've done some testing with it and really liked the results, but the only hang up is can you capture comments? I found a thread of someone doing it with 2010, though it doesn't seem that I can take the same steps in 365. Any help is appreciated!

Hi,  We have a requirement to be able to select a file or document in nintex form that is is coming from other document library? Is there any Nintex object(like attachment) that can do this? If none, is there any way to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

In my workflow I want to assign a task to multiple people (it's not a set list of people it depends on some variables who gets it)

Hi I think I am getting confused with this so would welcome some advice In my assign task I  store the Task Item Id in a variable.  Is this the best way to retrieve comments (rejected) : http://help.nintex.com/en-US/O365/Default.htm#O365WorkFlow/Getting to know NWO/Storing task form comments to variables.htm   I notice the comments could be formatted as  a Json dictionary  so does this needs special handling. The reason I ask Is I keep getting exception that hang my workflow and impede myprogress   Alternatively do I "Insert a Reference"  to capture current or all approver comments.

I have a business case wherein I need to be able to assign a task, and receive an email back with approval/rejection and also grab additional comments from the email to then use later in the workflow. Is this possible? So far, in my testing, I've been striking out.

I am new to Nintex, I have 3 columns on a SharePoint list. I would like to receive 3 separate email notifications when value of columns changes.e.g. on an item when value of column "A" changes sends an email. same with Column B and C. Thanks

Greetings, I have a task form that I'm working on.  I have a list of standard comments that a user can have for a response in a list called canned responses.  I want to be able to load into the text box on the form the selected canned response and allow the user to just approve/deny with that canned response of if needed edit the response a bit to fit their needs. Is there a way to load in a list item (multiple lines of text) into a form text field? I can go with just a single response now, but I would like to make it so that the user would have a drop down of response titles; ie;Approve standard responseApprove please review ticketApprove dates are changedDeny standard responseDeny Other reason each of the titles above would have another column that has the actual multiple lines of text corresponding to the response title.  The form text field would then fill in with the corresponding response text and the user could accept it as is or edit it for their needs. Thanks for your help

I have a nintex form and I have a choice control. I want the choices there to be dependent on one of the work variables. For example:Sharepoint list has names:KarlJunIshy I got query list and put those names into a collection. Is it possible to get them as options dynamically?

I'm unable to populate a text field from a calculated field. Any ideas how I can do this?  I've seen javascript solutions for classic forms, but how about for responsive forms? Is there any other ways?

Using the Microsoft SharePoint App on my IPhone, I go to my list where I have created a Nintex Form, but it won't come up, only brings up the sharepoint out of the box form. Is there a way to get to the nintex form on this app?

When I use the update document control the alignment of my text gets messed up. In my template it is supposed to be right aligned but when I run update document in the workflow it all is added and it is left aligned. Anyone else notice this or know how to fix it.
