I was recently approached by a customer asking if there was a way to add an image into the email body of an NWC email. While the rich text controls let you do a certain amount of formatting (like lists and bullet points, or heading fonts), sometimes you just want to have more control over what goes into the email body. The solution here does require a little bit of light HTML, but it's honestly so simple, you can definitely get it set up even without any HTML or programming experience. The trick is, to set a text variable with the HTML tag for an image. Here's the code I used in my sample: <img src="https://gallery.nintex.com/assets/images/Community_Logo.png"/> You are going to need to find a place to host the image. If it's a company logo, you might not have to look any further than your own company's website. Just be sure to copy the image URL. The action you're going to need to use is "Set a Variable Value". You'll then copy and paste the HTML code above, and update the URL wi

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, companies are increasingly adopting application development to remove friction from their critical business processes. With a large pipeline of applications designed to drive competitive differentiation, application development teams must tackle these projects quickly and effectively. However, these organizations face a dilemma from an application development approach perspective:Build custom-coded solutions and navigate long development cycles; or Settle for low-code solutions that fail to fully meet their needs for automating complex business processes.The result?A high percentage of projects fail to deliver the intended value because they lack the capability to handle intricate use cases. Equally damaging is the heavy reliance on professional coders or complex tooling, which often limits the number of projects that can be delivered—further exacerbated by project overruns that slow progress even more.With the launch of Nintex Apps, we are clos
