Nintex Automation K2

HiBecause of the upcoming deprecation of Exchange Online EWS I’m testing moving our environments over to using MSGraph.I upgraded to 5.9 successfully.  Ran the Exchange Online Migrate wizard successfully and email works.  However, it appears when I look at the Connection String editor for mail configuration that its still using EWS as it didn’t add the MSGraph settings.  I checked and the Azure Enterprise app was added successfully with the correct permissions.  The resource shows correctly in Management.  I tried following the article about manually configuring some of the connection string settings but email then failed.   Is the Migrate wizard supposed to take care of all of the settings or am I missing something?  I’ve restored the VM and retried 4 times so far without any luck. https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintexautomation/icg/5.8.1/Content/Configure/ExchangeOnline/ExchangeOnlineManual.htm

Hi, Where is the document for Migrating from EWS to Graph via the Wizard? In management - Features, you can click the Exchange Online feature and do Migrate, but where is the documentation on that to go from EWS to Graph? There is a document on doing it manually using “Lesser permission”, but where is the documentation for using this wizard?  Thanks

Hi guys!I have upgraded to version 5.9. However, the forms and views cannot open. When I do some research it said, the version must be upgraded one by one (K2 Blackpearl 4.7 > K2 Five 5.6 or 5.7 > K2 Five 5.9).So I check the history, and it is sequence which is correct.   However error is still showing when I open the form. Why?: 

Hi, anyone know how to downgrade K2 five 5.9 to K2 five 5.6?Before this, the old version is K2 Blackpearl 4.7. Now I'm upgrading to K2 Five 5.9 version and I have countered issues where some forms and views cannot open. After doing some research, I just know that it cannot install directly to K2 Five 5.9. Below is from Nintex:“Upgrading Nintex K2 blackpearl (4.7) or Nintex K2 Five versions (5.0), (5.1), (5.2), (5.3), (5.4), and (5.5) to latest version of Nintex Automation is not supported.  You must upgrade from a previous version to at least Nintex K2 Five (5.6) or Nintex Automation (5.7) before upgrading to the latest version of Nintex Automation.”So how can I solve this problem? Should I downgrade the version or is there any solution to resolve this issue? If I need to downgrade the version, what is the proper way to downgrade the version? Should I just uninstall the version and go back to version K2 Five 5.6 or K2 Blackpearl?

Hi guys,Has anyone upgraded their K2 Five environment from an older version to the latest one? I recently upgraded mine from version 5.4 to 5.9, and some of the forms have been impacted as a result.How did you handle these issues? Did you recreate the affected forms or views, or is there another solution to resolve them without rebuilding everything?As you can see the picture below is the error because of this upgrading version:  

Hi guys, do you guys know where I can find the Workflow ID based on Process ID in K2 database? As you can see Process ID = 20295 and WorkflowID = 2493 (It is recorded in the current data)  

Hi, Anyone experienced this or able to advise:Upgraded to v5.9 and when users are loading the forms, they are getting the Windows “Sign in to access this site” message.IIS Runtime authentication is set to Windows Only (same as prior), but instead of the forms loading them are being prompted. If they enter their credentials, it loops back to the SIgn in box again. Any ideas?Thanks

Hi everyone. Is it compulsory to use EWS to interact with SmartAction? Because my company uses SMTP instead.

Hi guys, I do really need help regarding this problem. I couldn’t find K2 Setup Manager in Start Menu. Thus, I can’t enable SmartAction. Mine is version 5.9. Does anyone have same issue as mine??

Hi,I'd like to have a discussion about the section titled "Update the Service Account password after expiry" at the end of the documentation https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nintexautomation/icg/5.8/Content/Plan/Accounts.htm.I know that the password for the K2 service account can be changed using the K2 Setup Manager, but the wizard sometimes takes a long time to complete all its steps, and on top of that, re-applying the latest Fix Pack is another thing that needs to be done - even though changing the service account password seems so simple.I’d like to focus on the second method, which uses command-line parameters.Does anyone know of any other possible parameters for SourceCode.SetupManager.exe, or perhaps all of them?For example, I’m wondering if this method can also be used to change the password for the service account used for the IIS App Pools K2 and K2_net4, or can this just be changed directly in IIS? (I don't use a single account for everything)Another thing is that the instruct

Hello together,I have a problem with my K2 Smartobject. I have a SQL Database on another Server. When I configure the instance I use “static” authentification method. I connects to the server and no error message. Then when I try to use the method to get all the database entries. I get an error message. I think it uses a different conntext user. How can I use the right context SQL user? I’m also missing the methos for creating and updating a databaseI hope you can help me. Best regardsMatthias

What if you could hold a conversation with your process automation platform to quickly generate a purchase order request, rather than spending time hunting down vendor codes, cost centers, and product specs while working through revision after revision?In this proof-of-concept session, I enabled that capability with Nintex Automation K2 and Claude desktop. Ride along with me to learn more!When Anthropic released the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external systems, we started thinking about what it would look like to wire it up to K2 Five. So, to test it out I opened a conversation with Claude and we started building. What followed was one of the more interesting projects I have done in a while, and I wanted to share it with the Nintex community. Example use-case flowWhat Is MCP and Why Does It Matter for K2?The Model Context Protocol is a standard that lets AI models like Claude call out to external tools and APIs in real time during a

Hello together,I have an a string which look like this “test01@test.com;test02@test.com;test03@test.com”. No I want to loop through the string and send a spearate email to each email address. I tried this several times, but it won’t work in K2 Workflows Engine with the loop. Can you suggest me how I can build that kind of loop and send emails out?My workflow looks like that.Best regardsMatthias

Hi everyone. This is for my project. The scenario is the e-form will send out to the user and user will response through email outlook. That response (eg. Approve/decline) will determine the next progress in the workflow. Is there any possibility that the workflow or K2 five able to do such scenario? If can how can I setup in the workflow to receive the answer from outlook so that it will proceed to the next step?I just heard about smartAction that able to solve my problem. But how can I configure that smartAction since I dont have it in the K2 management. This is a new feature for me, so a bit confuses.  

Hi, i created a custom control with Smart Object.i deployed and its working fine. now issue is. i want to iterate that smartobject in for loop in rule as in below image. but its not showing any message on button click. (i verified the smart object attached. it has rows inside.) i am using below in definition<Category>Listing</Category>    <Group>Documents</Group>    <Name>MultiFile</Name>    <DisplayName>Multi File</DisplayName>        <ExecuteMethod></ExecuteMethod>    <GetValueMethod></GetValueMethod>    <SetValueMethod></SetValueMethod>    <SetRulesMethod></SetRulesMethod>    <SetItemsMethod></SetItemsMethod>    <GetPropertyMethod></GetPropertyMethod>    <SetPropertyMethod></SetPropertyMethod> <Prop ID="DataSourceType" friendlyname="Type" type="complex" serverControlType="property" category="Data Source" InitializeServerControl="initializeAssociation

Hi,I have a K2 list view which uses a list display for one of the column controls. The control is bound to a field called “AnswerID”, and uses a smartobject called “Answers”, which contains the answer ID and description. This all works and displays the answer description when the ID is present in the underlying list view smartobject dataset.We also want to provide a way to update this answer, so in the Add/Edit row I have a drop-down list which is populated by another smartobject: “QuestionAnswers”. This contains the list of possible Answer IDs given the current Question ID. The display value is looked up from the associated “Answers” smartobject and the ID field is the AnswerID. When a row enters edit mode, this drop-down is populated for the relevant question. This also works.Where I am running into an issue is when applying the changes to the edited row. It appears that the selected AnswerID is being populated into the underlying smartobject, but the list display control still shows

Hi everyone,I want  to learn Nintex K2. I have no prior knowledge of K2 or SharePoint.I have a few questions I hope the community can help me with:1. Is SharePoint knowledge required before learning K2, or can I go straight into K2 without it?2. What is the recommended learning path/roadmap for a complete K2 beginner? Specifically:   - Which Nintex University learning paths should I start with and in what order?   - Are there specific YouTube resources or playlists from the official Nintex channel that are worth following?   - Are there any other resources (docs, books, tutorials) that helped you when starting out?3. As a developer, are there any concepts or topics I should prioritize that are especially relevant to the technical/developer side of K2?4. What are the most common mistakes beginners make when starting with K2 that I should avoid?Any advice from people who have been through this journey would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Got a Choice Control with 5 items with multiple option selection enabled.The last option in the list is Other, when the user ticks that box, I want it to make a textarea become visible underneath, A advanced rule works if you only pick the Other box and it shows/hides the textarea accordingly.However, if the user picks another item and the Other option, then it doesn;t work. With Multiple data type, i did a message and it shows the value as Option1;Option2 etc etc. So i assumed I could you advanced rule to say if Choice CONTAINS the Other value, but it won’t work. Why doesn’t the advanced condition work? The Choice control has two items picked, so you would think I could that in an advanced condition to say if it contains Other then do something. Any ideas?  

What was the thinking behind keeping the value entered in the Specify your own property - In the Choice List Control? By default the text entry is read only and greyed out (which is expected), but when you tick the Specify your own value, then enter something and Untick it afterwards, why does it retain the Value?  The natural action should be to empty the value when unticked, but as you can see, if keeps the value. There doesn’t even appear to be a way to clear the property via rules when unticked either.Come on Nintex, why all these basic bugs? This just hinders development.  I just seem to be spending days/weeks/months fighting K2 bugs than doing any development these days, I can see this leading to waving Goodbye to K2 in the near future despite all the time and effort invested.

Hi,Is there a quick way to check file attachments added by a user to form for duplicate names? Users occasionally add the same attachment which causes problems down the line, so I would like to deal with the issue before the K2 forum is sent.The users use a K2 form button to add attachments and they appear in a List view on the form.What is the best way to prevent them adding duplicates or sending the form if there is a duplicate document attached Thanks  

Hi, Could you please advise whether a workflow can be automatically actioned using a basic task form when data is inserted into the SQL database, with minimal manual interaction?The intent is to manage and action tasks directly through the Workspace, without developing a custom form.We would appreciate confirmation on whether this approach is supported within the existing workflow capabilities.Thank you for your support.
