Nintex Workflow

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to send out a notification anytime a field in a responsive form is modified. I tested this by  using a  the “SharePoint - Update list item” but it continuously runs and multiple notifications continue to push out… I don’t see within the conditions to select “modified date” anywhere. Is there another way to attack this?

I may be wrong about this, but I was hoping for confirmation on a possible change in the way hidden controls work. I know that if a control is directly hidden, it will not pass a value into the flow, but that doesn’t seem to have been the case if the control is visible but in a hidden group. For the past year, I’ve operated with the understanding that a control itself has to be set to visible to pass a value to the flow. Today, however, I noticed that a visible control in a hidden group no longer passes the value. It was a couple years ago when I was learning Nintex that I found out about how the visible controls in a hidden field work, and so I may have not fully understood it. So, I wanted to see if something has changed in the way a control’s value is handled from inside a hidden group.

I have a component workflow for which I want to move - dynamically names files from one folder to another IF a certain condition is met.  BUT I will not necessarily know the file ID but will know a part of the file name and the dynamic file folder.  So I tried query list to pull the Library in using  variable and I KNOW the folder and subfolders exists along with the file as an earlier branch has created them and I can actually see them in SharePoint.  BUT the workflow keeps saying the folder does not exist.Wondered if the query list was returning nothing and that’s the  cause of the failure.Oh and Retrieve item returns something but I cannot use it as a collection for a Loop for each action.

I am trying to Import Nintex workflow using API -  but the API error out Response status code does not indicate success: 500 (Internal Server Error). Detail error - StatusCode: 500, ReasonPhrase: 'Internal Server Error', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.DecompressionHandler+GZipDecompressedContent # ===============================# Nintex Workflow Import Example# ===============================Clear-Host# --- Configuration ---#$apiBase = "https://us.nintex.io/workflows/v1/designs/package/import"$bearerToken = "dsfsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssstW"   # OAuth 2.0 token$packagePath = "C:\Ddsfffffffffffe.zip"  # Path to exported ZIP # --- Query parameters ---$name = "PSActivityReports_v3"$assignedUse = "Production"$overwriteExisting = "true"$publishWhenConfigured = "true" # --- Build URL ---$apiUrl = "https://us.nintex.io/workflows/v1/designs/package/import?name=$name&assignedUse=$assignedUse&overwriteExisting=$overwriteExisting&publishWhenConfigured=$publi

I am working on establishing a standard process for deploying Nintex workflows and forms across Dev, Test, Build, and Prod environments, instead of relying solely on key-based exports. The issue with keys is that they have expiration dates and can expire before QA/UAT approvals are finished, and generating new keys doesn't align with compliance requirements for standard promotion procedures. To address this, I would like to use the Export/Import packaged workflow APIs. My preference is to export workflows as packages, store them in a Git repository, and then import them from the repo to higher environments as approvals are completed. I need assistance with saving the response from the Export a packaged workflow API (https://us.nintex.io/workflows/v1/designs/package/export) and importing it via API (https://us.nintex.io/workflows/v1/designs/package/import) into higher environments. i am having challenge of preparing query parameter and handling response. 

I have a repeating section in start form. In a Task Form, I want to display the row of data from the start form repeating section. And add an editable field for each row to get a status for each row.How can I do that?I understand that I can do a loop for each and get item from collection, but how can I have the data in my task form? 

I created a workflow using the Nintex Form as a start event. The workflow tested fine at the first attempt; however, subsequent attempts have produced a [WorkflowExecution.Semantic.Error] Semantic error(s) found.  See attached screenshot.I have used a ‘People’ control and ‘ConvertToString’ form variable to extract the email address from the collection.  This is the variable I have included in the ‘Assign a task to multiple users’ communication action.Can you assist in identifying the issue?  Not sure if this instance ID will help?Instance ID:0e3ac5fe-96a0-4061-a390-dd73a09b55fc_0_4

We have an application that we’re building and need to expose Nintex API data such as list of tasks assigned to the user for a particular workflow. I see that there are 3 authentication methods. We did not want to use service app token as it gives it access admin to the tenant and we didn’t want to use a personal access token either because of the developer role.  The client app token made the most sense because we can limit the scope to just read only to get the list of tasks. However, we noticed it requires a user to sign in through a pop-up window. Is there another method that won’t involve this pop-up window or is there a way to have the user only do it once? 

I have a form that uses URL parameters to prepopulate fields, using getQueryStringParameter. When I simply publish the form using the URL, this works fine.  But when I try to use the same technique with an embedded form and add those URL parameters to the src parameter of the iframe tag, it says "The form is Unavailable". Is there a trick to getting this to work?

This has probably been asked and answered before, but is there not a way to bring repeating section data over from a start form into a task form, and then add a field for the task assignee to complete?I’m developing an order form on which the initial user can use a repeating section to order items of equipment. After an approval process, the data is sent (via a task form) to the person who will fulfill the order. I don’t need this person to be able to edit any of the data from the start form’s repeating section; I just need a way for them to indicate the status of each item in the repeating section. For some items, they will be able to indicate that the item has been fulfilled because they have it in stock and can send it right away; other items will have to be ordered and then fulfilled later.I can bring over the repeating section data to the task form, no problem. But what I’d like to do is have a field (Choice - Single) for each item in the repeating section where the task assignee

I cannot seem to get CSS to apply to a repeating section.  I have the following within the Custom CSS:[dir] .nx-theme-styles .nx-theme-page {background-image: url(https://xxxxx.sharepoint.com/Style%20Library//Branding/img/imagename.jpg);background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position: center top;width: 100%;}.my_repeating {background-image:none; color:#FFEA00;background-color: #FFFFFF;}The background image works fine for the whole form but then repeats within the Repeating section itself, making the text very hard to see.  I add the “.my-repeating” to the CSS Class box for the repeating section and internal fields; I’ve also tried using ntx-repeating-section (without the dot) instead of .my-repeating within the Custom CSS but the form seems to ignore any custom CSS for repeating section:Is this a known feature or am I missing something obvious?Thanks!

did the feature get deprecated? don’t see under workflows. still see extensions

With the sample below, I'm getting a large JSON response. I need to extract just the names as an array so I can compare them with another string.In short, from the API response that lists workflows, I need to extract only the workflow names to compare them with another workflow name. Adding additional information-  I am using Query JSON and specially looking for JSONPath expression which return all workflow names . I am able to get one only - $.workflows[0].name{"workflows": [    {        "id": "ddddd-24c8-4ee4-af8f-gfhg",        "lastModified": "2025-10-27T20:39:57.054Z",        "name": "SSS Nintex WF",        "hasIDC": true    },    {        "id": "jknfy-24c8-4ee4-af8f-ghfhf",        "lastModified": "2025-10-27T20:39:57.054Z",        "name": "yyyy Nintex WF1",        "hasIDC": true    },    {        "id": "hkhg-24c8-4ee4-af8f-hgh",        "lastModified": "2025-10-27T20:39:57.054Z",        "name": "kkkk Nintex WF2",        "hasIDC": true    } ]}

The Configure workflow option is a great way to set values for configurable variables (those whose “Allow external configuration” has been ticked). However, I could not access these variables in Start event forms, which kind of defeats the purpose.Is there a way to be able to externally configure variables that can be accessed in Start event forms?

must be missing some step. following the example add the JS-Insert Plugin.on the form add the controlwhere and how do I put in the JavaScript code? do I need to add the open and close script tagwhen I add some code keep getting Workflow cannot be loaded, saved or published at this time. anytime I have the atob() it will not saved. have the Load JQuery set to Yes works

Are you still using a password to access your Nintex Platform?We’re looking to better understand how our customers are authenticating today, particularly those who are using username and password sign-in rather than federated identity (SSO).If you’re currently using passwords to access Nintex Workflow or Apps, we’d love to hear from you. We want to understand: What’s preventing your organization from using federated identity (SSO) today? What challenges or requirements do you have around authentication and access? What would make SSO adoption easier for you? Your feedback will directly help us shape future improvements to identity and access in the Nintex Platform.If you’re interested in participating in a short interview please book a time to chat here.Thanks for helping us make authentication in Nintex more secure, flexible, and user-friendly!

When a Nintex Automation Cloud Form is completed; the url is sent to the user. If there a way to write the url sent in the e-mail to SharePoint Online for the user to click on from SharePoint Online?

Hi  I’ve created a workflow to load a data set that I’m accessing from an external API into a Nintex Table.The API is too cumbersome and complex to do otherwise than simply create a “local copy” of the data so it can be used in my Nintex forms etc..It’s all working fine but I’m having issues with the number of actions per workflow instance.The API is returning me data in Json, so I”m using Query Json action. The problem is that I have to use one Query Json Action for each single field of data being returned, and even though I’m only loading a bit more than 200 rows it’s still blowing up because there are a lot of fields to retrieve. Right now all I can do is loop through the data array, load each field one by one in variables, and then create the row in the table using those variable.  I’ve seen that I could leverage Query Json to retrieve multiple fields at the same time and load them in a collection, but then how to I retrieve each individual field from the collection without adding

I’m hoping someone can confirm if Nintex table data is restricted to only be available on Authenticated Task forms. It appears it is. To explain: Table data can be used on a non-authenticated Start form using the Data variables function. However, when I do the same on a non-authenticated Task form the control fails. I mean it can be set up, but when the Task is sent the a ‘Data failed to load’ error displays and the control fails. This seems strange: if I set up a Data variable to use External data (not Table data) then that works on both non-authenticated Start and Task forms. However Table data doesn’t. ​​​​​​

I have created a form plugin which will leverage with Microsoft Graph Api to get data from SharePont list and display it as a dropdown component. I have set the required property in the getMetaConfig().I also have the on change event to capture values from the selected option and return the Title and id as object. When I import the form plugin in NAC, the label able to display the title and id from the object that return from the component.  However, the component will always recognize there is no value return, and the required field validation will shows even I have selected an option.I have also tried to change the return data type from object to string and keep the same for the rest. And it will work. When the drop down is selected, the selected value (string) could be display in a label control and the component manage to recognize there is already a selected value.I am wonder if there is any additional steps is required if the return data type need to be in object data type. 

What is the blue insert option for on the Microsoft Exchange Online Send an Email control? It allows you to select a collection and shows like you will be able to send to all the addresses in the collection, but when you run the flow, it will fail with the following error:-----Received an error response from the connector: {"message":"[NXCSDK.GNR.UnexpectedError] Unexpected error occurred, please contact support.","correlationId":"e3c02593-5d3e-4e11-80d7-32836ccabace","code":null} What is the use of selecting the collection if you cannot send to it? I’m trying to figure out how to send to multiple addresses with multiple CC addresses without having them all be in the To field. It seems like Nintex allows this simple procedure in that it lets you select the collection, but it fails when you run it. If it’s not able to send to collections, then why allow us to select a collection in the To , CC, BCC, and Reply To areas? Do the entries in the collections have to be in a specific format fo

Hi!I am trying to start a workflow in NAC based on if a file in a document library has been modified. I have the start event to equal “update list item” but when I go in to modify anything in the library, the workflow does not kick off… Can a workflow be able to detect if a file has been modified in a SharePoint library?

We create a folder in SharePoint from our Nintex Workflow, it needs to have unique number at the end of it, without symbols. eg Delivery Docket 12345With 12345 being the unique number, this number doesn’t need to mean anything, it just needs to be unique.How do I do this?
