Hi,

 

I used to create manual workflow in Sharepoint 2010 + Nintex  and set a URL with ....startworflow.aspx ?ListID{skkdsk}&ID=1&Workflow_Name=Abc as hyperlink to click and excute by user directly, 

In Sharepoint online I am not able to create this hyperlink or couldn't find the solution to run workflow by a hyperlink or URL.

 

Please advise the solution or also the equivalent of startworkflow.aspx in sharepoint online nintex.

Regards

Asif

Hi Asif,


 


I looked at Fiddler while starting a workflow but I couldn't see how the workflow was starting to be able to get the URL.


What I ended up doing was creating a menu item with SharePoint Designer to start the workflow .


This tutorial is for 2010 but log into your O365 tenanat and the steps are the same.

I then started the workflow from the menu item and was able to see how the workrflow started using Fiddler and I was able to manipulate the URL to start the workflow on any item I wished.


 


URL looks similar to this.

I just changed the ID and the workflow would run on any item by entering the URL into a web browser.


 

Hi,


Would you have another url for the same or a similar tutorial ?


The one here is now linked to a suspended account and not available anymore.


Thanks a lot 🙂
