PDF comes into library via being sent to the library email address.

Nintex WF - triggered and creates a folder using the PDF name.

Nintex then copies the PDF into that folder - using the Create item in another site action.

The PDF no longer opens.

 

The PDF open fine outside of the folder.

@michuk  If you are copying files into the same environment as you are on this instance, credentials are not required.

Help files:
For copying files to a SharePoint site in the same environment as the workflow, the workflow automatically uses permissions with global SharePoint access if no other credentials are specified.

Hi,

 

In the Copy to SharePoint action, for the destination field are you using “Select a location” or “Enter a URL”?
If you are using Select a location, try using Enter a URL and see if that resolves the issue.

Hi 

 

The action is telling that I have an invalid username or password. 

I have entered it slowly and many times?

I have to use the copy to sharepoint action so I can input the destination. Its telling that credentials are required.

 

Will try with credentials empty.

Its working when I leave the credentials empty.

 

Thanks so much!!
