Nintex Automation K2

Hi everyone,I'm currently building a workflow in Nintex K2 and would like to generate a PDF document from a Word template, similar to the Generate Document feature in Nintex Workflow Cloud (NWC).For example:K2 SmartForm → Workflow → Populate Word template → Generate PDF → SendIs this feature available in Nintex K2?If not, what is the recommended way to achieve this in K2? If there is a guide or example that I can follow, I would really appreciate it.Thanks!

Hi all,I want to ask regarding the generate document feature that exists on NWC. Does it work on Nintex K2? Because I need to generate document from template. I know this feature works on Nintex Cloud because I’ve used it before, how about K2?

On-Prem K2 5.9, using on-prem AD as user manager.Currently K2 API website is load balanced via AWS ALB (which has problem with Kerberos), would need to switch to NLB, but K2 documentation doesn’t mention supporting Windows Auth for the REST API calls.Is there a plan to support OKTA for Oauth?This is specially for the Tasks API.Alternative is to build a separate API using the .NET 4.8 SDK...

I just wanted to gauge people’s opinions and experiences with the newer K2 Workflow Designer.We’ve had so many problems with K2 Studio workflows over the summer, including issues with what should be very basic functionality. For example, hyperlinks in an email body are no longer being accepted in some of our workflows, resulting in failed workflows with errors stating that there is no connection string for the destination user. Remove the hyperlinks from the email and the exact same steps work perfectly. The errors don’t even match the issue...When we raise tickets with K2, we’re told that development of K2 Studio workflows is no longer supported because it is considered legacy, and the recommendation is to move to the newer Workflow Designer.Fair enough — so I’ve been trying to migrate some of our existing workflows to the new designer.Unfortunately, the experience so far has been extremely poor.Window panes regularly freeze or become unresponsive. When editing an email body, if you e

Hi everyone,I’m currently developing a workflow in Nintex K2 and I need the workflow to retrieve data from a SharePoint Online list.I’m quite new to K2 and I’m not sure what the correct integration/setup process is between K2 and SharePoint.My requirement is basically:SharePoint Online List → K2 → SmartObject → K2 WorkflowI would like to use the SharePoint list data inside the workflow, for example to retrieve/list items and use the column values in the workflow.I have access to K2 Management, and I can see SharePoint-related Service Types such as SharePoint Site Collection and K2 for SharePoint, but I’m unsure which one should be used and how it should be configured.My main questions are:What is the recommended way to connect K2 to an existing SharePoint Online site/list? Do I need to create a Service Instance in K2 Management using the SharePoint site URL? Which SharePoint Service Type should be used? What authentication method should be configured for SharePoint Online? Does K2 for

We recently migrated a K2 5.9 FP14 system from EWS Online to Graph and noticed issues with mails.The mails for tasks and redirects are not going through but email action ones are, has anyone had a similar issue with Graph and found a solution?We checked the HostServer and Event View logs, but no errors are showing up.

Hello,I’m using translations based on the ui-culture URL parameter. The translations work correctly for Forms and Views, but I’m having an issue with translating subviews.I have already added the translated keys in the Management environment, but I’m unable to see the language switch for subviews when I change the ui-culture parameter in the URL.Could this be related to how K2 handles translations? Does K2 load translations only when initializing the Views/Forms that are directly visible to K2? Is it possible that subviews are loaded using lazy loading, so their translations are not initialized when the ui-culture parameter changes?Is there a recommended solution or workaround for this type of issue?Thank you!Regards,

Hello Community! I like the way Radio Button controls look when the “Borderless” property is checked, but I’ve found that if the radio button is required, the validation rules don’t give it a red border because, well, it is borderless. How do you all let users know that a borderless Radio Button control is required?

Hello community - I’m getting user complains that the icon to expand/collapse views on the form are too small and difficult to click. In the legacy theme, I was able to come up with some JQuery to make the entire view header clickable to expand/collapse the view, but I’m having a hard time doing the same with the modern theme (K2 5.9). If anybody else has solved this issue, would they be willing to share their script (or other approach)? Thanks in advance!

Hello Community - how do you all validate non-required calendar controls on your K2 forms? I’ve found that if the user manually types in an invalid date, the form does properly highlight it but it still passes the validate condition because the value behind the scenes in the control is blank. This is find for when the field is also required, but if it is not there is no way for the form rules to know that the control has invalid data. I’ve ended up building some javascript to see if any calendar control has that invalid class on it and set an is valid checkbox accordingly, preventing the user from saving/submitting if this check box is not checked. That seems like a strangely convoluted work around for what seems to be a simple issue. Am I overlooking something? Please share your solutions to this scenario. Thanks!

HiBecause of the upcoming deprecation of Exchange Online EWS I’m testing moving our environments over to using MSGraph.I upgraded to 5.9 successfully.  Ran the Exchange Online Migrate wizard successfully and email works.  However, it appears when I look at the Connection String editor for mail configuration that its still using EWS as it didn’t add the MSGraph settings.  I checked and the Azure Enterprise app was added successfully with the correct permissions.  The resource shows correctly in Management.  I tried following the article about manually configuring some of the connection string settings but email then failed.   Is the Migrate wizard supposed to take care of all of the settings or am I missing something?  I’ve restored the VM and retried 4 times so far without any luck. https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintexautomation/icg/5.8.1/Content/Configure/ExchangeOnline/ExchangeOnlineManual.htm

Hi everyone, I have a problem when the user does not receive the email. I'm enabling the SmartAction btw for user interacting with K2 server. I have setup the username, password and EWS url in K2 Connection String Editor. I have also setup in K2 setup manager and all are working properly. Just that when I check in the log, it keeps using the SMTP instead. Besides that, I also did some editing in K2HostServer.exe.config based on Nintex Support request. Note: EWS email and SMTP are different.
