Hello,

my question is, if it is possible to start a Nintex Cloud Workflow with a Form Start Event from another Workflow. Can you call an url and append parameters or something like that?
My use case is, that we want

  • to trigger the workflow when an item is added to a SharePoint List
  • allow the user to create items in the SharePoint List using the Nintex Form and triggering the workflow
  • trigger the workflow from a workflow with a scheduled start

I know that i can create one component workflow and multiple separate workflows, but considering the licensing I want to keep the amount of workflows as low as possible, since we will be migrating alot of workflows from SharePoint 2019 to Nintex Cloud and SharePoint Online.

Thank you in advance!

Niklas

Hi @NiklasG 

Just to clarify, you want to start a “NAC Workflow with Form Start Event” workflow from a URL and filing up the fields from the parameters

This is possible using the NAC APIs

@Garrett  is correct, you can use the API to call the workflow. 
 

a great way to find the payload you need is to check the instances of an existing running workflow, that contains instance start data and will contain a sample payload.
