Hi ,

My list contains 20 items . I need to get a random item every day .

How to achieve this using Nintex workflow in SharePoint Online .

 

Best answer by vadim_tabakman

You could try making a web service call to - www.random.org

 

I've attached an NW for Office 365 Site Workflow - setup as a component workflow.  If you import and publish it, in your main workflow, you can use the "Run Component Workflow" action.

 

It takes 3 parameters (2 input -min/max and 1 output - RandomNumber).

 

I hope this helps.

This may help you in the right direction, @vadim_tabakman has a UDA for generating a random number.
