Community, 

I have the following scenario I’m attempting to building using nintex workflow and two sharepoint lists. 

I have two lists, list a and list b. What I’d like to create is two workflows one when an item is created in list a it is copied to list b which will be used to compare list a when something changes.

 

Workflow 2. 

When an item in list a modified. The modified item is compared to it’s respective item in list b. The changes are then added to an email. Once the email is sent list b is then updated with the modifications from list a

Hi ​@asalako,

Welcome to the community.
Your scenario seems straightforward. Is there anything in particular that you need help with?

​@SimonMuntz The issue is I’m not sure where to how to implement to solution. The copy item is the easy part which I have implemented to second part of the solution is where I’m stuck. 

asalako, 

I would suggest using a couple of Site workflows to manage the comparison of the two lists. This can be activated on a regular interval, say hourly or daily. You’ll need some properties in each of the lists to identify a “new” item vs. a “modified” one. Your site workflow(s) can then compare based on which state it finds an item in.

Site workflows can be a useful means to organizing or replicating list content as it has scope into all data on the site.

Hope this helps,

Gerard
