Do you find that address information provided by your participants are sub-optimal and causes downstream workflow issues?  Do you find yourself adding multiple fields to capture a single address? The latest Address control on Nintex Workflow Cloud Forms would be able to solve these problems. Address control would make it easier to get accurate addresses. The form filler would only have to fill in one address field thus making the form filling experience quicker. Let’s look at the new Address Control in action! On a form with an Address Control, the Form filler can start typing in the address which then provides them with suggestions matching their data entry. The can then select the address that matches their search.  The Address control setting can be found in the Control toolbox on

Hello, RPA Community,I am happy to announce that the latest versions of RPA Central and Nintex Bot are available. The main enhancement and reason for this release is the support of secure, OAuth-based connections in Bot for working with email in Google Gmail and Microsoft Exchange Online.

So please create new email connections and switch your email actions over to those new connections.We have also worked on better targeting for browser actions and UIA, so you should see increased speed, accuracy, and reliability there, especially with custom applications or web pages that have a lot of nested tables.In RPA Central you will receive better messages if and when Bots go offline, and of course, we have made further improvements to the communication channel between Central and Bot to make sure Bots come online and stay online.Please reach out here if you have

Sequential approvals - more flexibility with approval flows and notifications With sequential approvals you will be able to control the workflow of approval notifications. This brings the functionality to only send notifications to a stakeholder once preceding stakeholders have already approved. Why are we making these changes?Clients with larger and more extensive center of excellence teams may not want to include certain stakeholders in process approvals until other stakeholders have already approved e.g. an approval flow may go through a quality check with BA roles before going on to the process owner. The current approval functionality lacks this flexibility, and all approval notifications are sent to all stakeholders simultaneously. If this approval flow is required today, it requires communications and organization outside of the Promapp environment. What will improve with this release
