Nintex Workflow

In our Nintex Automate workflow, use the Get Manager Details action to populate a variable with the manager’s email but the email has capitalization. How do we lowercase the value? The set variable value action doesn’t let you apply the function toLower. This is a problem because the generate document show one email all lowercase (context current user) and one with capitalization (get manager details).

We have connections upon connections as I’m sure most do. How do we trigger a notification if a connection is expiring? This is causing all kinds of issues that stretch beyond a workflow not running. Has anyone found a way to monitor tokens and alert the owner, or anyone BEFORE it expires?

There is a similar question about this topic (here), but I added a question at the end of it that's never been answered - possibly because the original question has already been marked as solved. I use @burked's solution for getting rid of the brackets and quotation marks from items in a collection, and that works fine. But it seems that NWC no longer puts a space after the comma that separates the items. So I get output like this: Choice 1,Choice 2,Choice 3,Choice 4 Of course, what I want is this: Choice 1, Choice 2, Choice 3, Choice 4 I know next to zilch about RegEx, so I can't figure this out. Is there an expression to add a space after each comma so that the output isn't so ugly?

Is it possible to pass in a repeating table object into a component flow?

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?

Hi all, can you please help me sort out my issue, I have been looking everywhere and I can't find a solution.At the start event form, I set the file upload, this file will always have a different name (depending on the user) I wonder if there is a way to rename it to one of the variables and save it on the SharePoint folder.

I have a responsive form from which I am generating a PDF from a template. That’s working fine but because the PDF that is generated is both internal and customer facing, I’d like to be able to display a multi-choice checkbox lookup field as those checkboxes (along with the options selected) instead of returning the submitted information in a string. Is this possible? Or if I’m overthinking and there’s a better way to do this, I’m all ears. I did find the same question here but the images aren’t available & I’m struggling to wrap my head around it. As a part 2 to this question, I’m finding that anytime I make a change to the template, I’m having to retag every single field and not just the one that changed. Is this expected behavior?

Hi, I’m using Nintex Automation Workflow cloud and noticed that my admin account is applied to the “modified by” column. I am assuming every time the workflow runs through an action like “update item” it applies my admin acct name. Am I understanding this correctly? I was asked why I was modifying the item in sharepoint and I’m not, my thought to this was that every time the workflow ran through an action that, that happened. Can someone explain?

All, Looking for some basic help here. I have a separate repeating section which will gather 5 separate pieces of DATA for each specific attachment added to an attachment field within a group on the Nintex workflow form. Can I then grab and assign that data to each attachment and write it all to a Library in SharePoint? In effect if I have 3 attachments, ROW 1 data will be for file1, Row2 for file 2 and Row 3 for file 3. But I haven’t a clue how to do this in a Lop for each in the workflow.

I’ve seen with a recent update the I can Copy the data from a Repeating Section down from the start form and into a task, and the data is editable. This is great for our workflows, but I’ve run into an issue in getting the data to copy between two tasks. We have two tasks(A and B) after the Start Form in a Branch by Stage action. The Initial/Default Branch flows to task A, that has two options Complete or Send to the Other Brach that has Task B when they click submit. Task B on the Other Branch, has the exact same options so information can flow between A and B until A is satisfied and they choose to Exit and end the workflow. The issue with the Repeating Section that I'm having is that the data in that only seems to flow one way. Task A can receive the data from the Start form and Task B can receive it from A, but if B sends back to A, A still uses the Start Form’s data. I got around this with all the other variables by writing them into a workflow variables after the Start Form and m

I have a start d/t and an end d/t fields on my NWC form. I would like to show a message to the user if their end date is = or < the start time. “is not” , “not equal”, or “equal” conditions are not available when comparing d/t fields in this version for forms. That seems odd to me Nintex wouldn’t make those options available. The only way I can think of is to convert the d/t fields to strings in a variable. There are many more conditions available when comparing text strings. My VAR’s are setup the same Just so I can see if the VAR’s are correctly populated, I’m displaying the values in the fields immediately below the d/t fields, for demo. But it’s not converting the strings in the same format. If they are not in the same format, I can’t compare them in rules. Both of the fields are configured the exact same way in the Form and in Sharepoint

I would like to use an Excel file containing a list of products in a data lookup control to select the part. I know how to do it from an Microsoft List. To avoid having to manually convert my Excel file into a Microsoft list, can I do it directly from an Excel file that is in my SharePoint online? or Can I automate the upload of the content of the Excel file into a microsoft list or into a table?

Hello! I've been working with Laketree Dynamic Grid for a few months, and it has been working well both functionally and visually. However, today I logged in, and it’s not working anymore. I tried adding it again, but I get the following error: Does anyone know what might be happening or if there’s a similar alternative? https://gallery.nintex.com/t/LakeTree-Dynamic-Grid-plugin Thank you very much!

I’m migrating workflows to the Automation Cloud, and no matter if I build the table in HTML or the WYSIWIG editor, Nintex constantly messes with the formatting. It will move whole rows to the top of the table. The screen shot below is how the table in the email should look. But if I have to go back into the workflow to make an edit for any reason - not even to the Send Email action this happens: The divider rows get converted to header rows - even if I toggle that setting off or call it out as <td> instead of <th> - and then get moved to the top. This defeats their purpose, which is to break up and organize the data. It makes quick edits painstaking. I don’t need a “smart” editor that actually gets it wrong every time it tries to override my actions. If someone from Nintex could PLEASE tell me how to get around this or give us the option to shut it off, I’d be most appreciative. I build for 10+ teams and own waaay too many workflows for troubleshooting to be this time-consuming. We mov

We’d like to ask everyone in the community to please go vote for the following idea: Workflow Production Publishing & Default Assigned Use | Nintex Ideas Our company is struggling with security and restricting users from publishing their own personal workflows in NAC. We continue to have issues even though we built a separate process around the OOB “Publish Request” component that comes with NAC. Currently, the only way we are able to allow users to publish workflows in NAC if they are not an admin (while still limiting this to not all developers/designers) is putting them in a group: By doing this however, our headache is how the system is designed. When a user not in this group who does not have rights to publish on their own pushes the “Request publish” button when a workflow is set to production the system will auto assign the group specified in these settings as the “workflow owner” as well over the workflow. Because of this, all the users we gave permissions to publish, now have

My NWC solution starts with a form that has 3 file upload controls. I need to get each file uploaded and using DocGen combine them for use with AdobeSign. I would love to go straight to DocGen, but I realize I may have to save them to the SP Item first. However, my current hickup is that I can't wrap my head around getting them back from the SP Item, into a collection, and then getting each one from the collection into a DocGen action for use.

Does anyone know what the autocomplete option in the escalation section of a task form does? Does it autocomplete the task to move the workflow forward, if the assigned person doesnt complete it?

Hello! I am trying to pull all attachments from a sharepoint list using the “Get item attachment by name” control. Now, my question is… will nintex be able to connect to a url as such to connect to the list? https://companyname-my.sharepoint.com/personal/joe_smith_company_com/Lists/Equipment%20tracker/AllItems.aspx I notice this list is located under a users personal location… now, they gave my admin acct access but I am not able to connect to that list.

I find it rather annoying that there is no easy way of simply renaming a file without knowing the extension. Any thoughts on how to easily rename a file using the “rename a file” action? Maybe a regular expression that easily identifies the file extension at the end of the file name?

I have a workflow that starts with a Nintex Form. The form allows for the uploading/attaching of supporting documents. I am successfully writing the form data into a list library in SharePoint Online, but cannot seem to copy the attachments to a document library. I get this error: Received an error response from the connector: BadRequest: [SP.GNR.ListItemsNotFound] Unable to find matching list items for the list 'ProclamationRequestAttachments'. (Correlation Id: 1b7d84c4-4519-4253-b9df-c8ae9389380f) The document library does exist, permissions are correct also. I don’t think it is a SPO issue, but maybe I’m not capturing the attachments correctly. Below is the workflow: The run if true was just to keep that part of the workflow from executing if there were no document attachments on the form. I am able to attach the documents to the “Send Notification to CSO” action, so they are attachments in the notification email. Just can’t seem to copy them to SPO. I am certain I’m missing somethi

I am making good use of Nintex Data Tables now. It is especially good for getting a quick response in your workflow form. Sometimes calls to our on-prem SQL database take several seconds. But I ran into a problem whenever I moved my data from Test into Production. While there is a nice “Import” feature to Tables, there is no Export. So I built one, and I’ll display that here below. The “Import” process takes a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file, so I will generate that using a workflow in my Test environment. First, create a workflow and set the Start Event as a Nintex Component workflow. Insert the following actions that we will configure: Query a table Create a text string Loop for each (inside your loop) Create a text string Send an email (or substitute some other method of obtaining your output Configuring these actions: For “Query a table” you simply select your Table and select all the columns you want. If you want all the rows, then don’t add any Conditions. Complete the other se

We are trying to replicate the N365 process of writing task info to a “task list”. It’s nice that NAC stores tasks, but we have audited processes and need our task data stored locally on our site (like the previous versions of Nintex did it). in a SharePoint list, or task list. We are using the “Get task” action, but are facing some issues trying to grab the relevant task form URL because it is way more than 255 characters.

Is there a way to either generate a csv file in Nintex Workflow or convert an excel file or anything that can be done. I would like ot use Nintex to generate and email a csv file on a schedule.

I thought this would be a simple thing, but apparently it’s not. I have a Scheduled start workflow that is supposed to run daily to read a SharePoint list and find any items that contain a date six weeks (42 days) in the future. The workflow ran today and reported no results even though I know there is one item in the list that should have been found. The workflow uses an Add time to date function to calculate the future date: using the built-in Current date from the instance, it adds 42 days and provides a variable as a result (date format, not ISO 8601 text string). Then the workflow queries the list, using the conditions that the specific date column has value and matches the date variable. When I run this, it finds no results even though, as I said, there is one item in the list that meets the conditions. I have a feeling this has something to do with the format of the Nintex date (which is in YYYY-MM-DD format and includes the time) and the SharePoint date, which is M/D/YYYY and d

I am using a Label form control, which has recently updated. The old version had a field for both the link text and the link URL. However, the current version only has the URL, and when I use a variable for the URL, it doesn’t display correctly- it shows the URL and not the text I had highlighted to add the URL. I even tried using the source code version to put things in, but that gave me the same result. Any ideas?
