Today I needed to generate a random number in the simplest way. I found some information about generating a random number with custom UDA actions, but I didn't want to make installations on my server.
So I found a good solution and posted it on the Nintex Xchange™ cool space. You can see the post here >>> Random Number Generation on a workflow
This solution is based using a service in RANDOM.ORG and not only you can generate a simple random number.
You will find a lot of uses as the following ones:
