Form plugins - workflow comments

I have downloaded the Workflow comments plugin but I can't seem to add it to my tenant. First, the instructions say to “Import the plugin and use the Element name: wf-comments.” I guess I’m not understanding how to import the plugin, nor which JavaScript file I’m supposed to upload. When I downloaded the plugin and extracted the files, there are two folders - _MACOSX and workflowcomments - each of which contains five JavaScript files. I assumed I would use the file called workflow-comments (in the workflowcomments folder), so I tried uploading it and using the Element name as described. But I get the error “Failed to load the plugin definition.” In fact, I get this message regardless of which JS file I try to upload.I have also tried copying the JS files into a SharePoint folder and using the URLs. Same error message.I have successfully imported other plugins to my tenant. What am I doing wrong with this one?

Copy or move a file action

I’m a little confused with this action. I supposed it due to how I interpreted how it should function initially. SharePoint Online - Copy or move a file (nintex.com) Can we not move a file to another folder within the same library? It doesn’t appear there is a true “move” functionality using this action. The reality is, it just copies files, and allows users to have the ability to put the copies anywhere and delete the original. The ability to “move” a file is misleading. Moving the file would imply we can preserve the system ID and all other information/details (metadata) and just simply move it anywhere else in the library, like into another folder etc.

In a form, how do i display a range of choices in a field based on the choices made in a previous field

So here’s my problem: i have two fields, one named Family and another, subfamiliy. I want the choices available in subfamily to be displayed based on the choices made in the Family field. You can select from 4 differents families, where each one has a specific familiy code. So if you were to select in the family field “AAA - Value 1”, the only choices appearing in the subfamily field would be A01 - Item 01, A02 - Item 02 and A03 - Item 03. Both of those fields are data lookups from two different sharepoint lists. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how i could manage this? Thanks

Check if user exists in AD Nintex Workflow Cloud

I have a form where the user entered their email address. The form data goes into SharePoint online. I want to check that the email entered is a valid AD user account. If I test it by entering an invalid email, the “Get User Details” crashes the workflow with an error. Is there a way to check a return code from this action or is there another action that will work?

Branded Task Form Images Intermittently Don't Show

I am running a test migration of an existing O365 workflow to NAC. All the task forms have our company logo at the top, and that logo is stored on the same SharePoint site as the list that the workflow is triggered by. During testing I’ve noticed that sometimes the logo - a 32KB PNG - doesn’t show (for the same account), and instead the missing image icon is shown. This is in Edge, the browser we recommend our users use. I’ve never encountered this issue with O365 workflows, so I’m wondering what the cause is/ how to avoid this, and if perhaps there’s a better place to host images used in NAC forms?

How to auto-populate / prefill a Nintex Workflow Cloud forms people picker?

Hey!I’m currently trying to auto-poplulate a people picker in a nintex workflow cloud form. I have a first form where you can enter contacts inside a people picker and would like to use them, also in a people picker, in a later sent task in the workflow.But I can’t figure out how to pre-populate the people picker field with the people from the former people picker form. I tried to use the emails from the collection and enter them as the default value, but that didn’t work.Does anyone already tried this and found a solution?Any advice?Kind regards!Tim

Terminate Workflow Instance

If you are going to use the action “Terminate workflow instance” for the first time, you may have a look to the related help page and will notice that you would need a Nintex Automation Cloud connection. So you open related page to see how to do so. If you don’t expand this topic, you will see this: So you navigate to the settings page to find the Client ID and the Client secret.You will find nothing. So you may start googeling and waste your time. If you expand the topic you will get the information you need:Why is such an important information not presented directly? Anyway:The client ID and client secret required when adding a connection must be generated from the tenant settings page, using the Apps and tokens tab. View an existing app to get the Client ID and Client secret, or create an app to generate the client ID and client secret. So in my case, I added a new App as I didn’t had any.After that you need to click on the three little dots to view the Client ID and Client secret:

Create Exchange Online calendar item with dynamic collection of attendees

I am using Nintex Automation Cloud with SharePoint Online and Exchange Online.The goal is to create a calendar item in the calendar of a user, making it a meeting by inviting a number of additional users as required attendees. But the action does not seem to allow that at the moment.I can directly add a collection variable for the Attendees field. But not matter what that collection contains (e.g. email adresses), it seems to not have the correct format for the action to consume it. Choosing a multi-user field of a SharePoint item as the source for the Attendees field does not work as well.     I can manually add an Attendee by cklicking “Add attendee” - but there seems to be no possibility to make that dynamic. I tried adding an attendee and setting the Email field to the concatenated email adresses of the users (either colon or semicolon), but the action doesn’t parse that and just tries to set that complete string as a single attendee.     I even built the attendee part that Graph

Issue with Retrieving Instances via Nintex Workflow Cloud API

Dear Nintex Support Team,I am using PowerShell to interact with the Nintex Workflow Cloud API, and I am encountering an issue when retrieving instances.

I have the file upload object in my first form and have set it to allow one image only. I have extracted that file from the collection in my workflow. How do I get the URL out of that file object to use it in the second form?

Prevent New Form Submission

I am creating a form in NAC and would like to prevent someone from resubmitting a form one after another. I understand that you can query Workflow Instances of a form that has already been submitted using “Get a workflow’s instances” data source. However, how do we query the USER that submitted these instances?I am inserting this information to a database on a workflow submission, but in the time it takes to do that while the 1st submission is still processing, a user can submit a 2nd form while the 1st submission is still waiting to be added to the database.

File is locked for shared use by user

While trying to update an SharePoint online document from Nintex Workflow Cloud I'm getting the below error. Is it possible to catch the error and notify the admin (maybe by email) on this error or alternatively if the workflow could be updated to support co-authoring on the SharePoint online document that would be good too. Please help, any advice or alternatives would be appreciated. Thanks

Microsoft Exchange Online - Send to Multiple Users @ the same time

How in the world do you send one email to a group of users without looping for Microsoft Exchance Online connector? The option is to add fixed individuals if multiple one at a time. The fields for TO, CC and BCC does not recognize a collection of users so now we have to worry about looping through 1K + users?  Am I missing something? How do I send one (1) email to 1,000 users at the same time on the same email as BCC? Where only the admin is listed in the TO field. Please help!We normally use the send an email provided in operations by Nintex but since this is a global automation initiative, we need it coming through as an internal email, not flagged as external email. This action is amazing and very little issues but I’m finding the exchange connector to be very difficult!!!!!
