I am working on updating a workflow from Nintex for O365 to Nintex Automation Cloud. In Nintex for O365 after querying a list (SPO) you could select the Name property from a Person/Group field. The output in Nintex Automation Cloud only outputs the ID of the group. How would I get the name, display name, and email for the group (O365 group)?
Hi
If you need to query for O365 groups you should be able to use the Microsoft Office Groups to create a data source if you don’t already have one.
Then in the form you can use the new single choice dropdown with a data source variable:
add a single choice control, remove the options and change to dropdown:
Go to insert, external data and navigate to the Records collection inserting that:
Select Name and ID as below:
It is always preferred to select ID as a value as this can then be used further in the workflow to get members etc but there is nothing stopping you from using Name Name, I have also noted that there doesn’t appear to be any filtering options for this query so I will see what I can do to get this changed as typically the next step would be to have another data source variable filtered to the selected item to return its properties.
Hi
Has this reply solved your question?
Hi
Just to follow up on update to this, I have made the changes to the connector needed to allow for selected groups to be returned individually to get information such as name.
I have submitted this to the product team and can only wait for it to be reviewed and released, no ETA I am afraid.
