I have an approval workflow designed in SharePoint 2016 on premise. The flexi tasks sends reminders. But I want to manually delegate the task after all reminders have been sent out. For that I created a site workflow and added an action item - Delete workflow task.

I read the following blog,

 

https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nintex2010/help/workflow/RootCategory/Actions/Nintex.Workflow.DelegateTask.htm

 

Not sure how I get the Action ID of the task. What exactly is the Action ID.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @guru2000,

Not all task actions return an ActionID.
Flexi Tasks do not return ActionID's
You need to use a Request approval action or one of the other task actions that returns the ActionID.
 

I do not think you can use a site workflow with the ActionID. As far as I know, the Delegate task action needs to be run inside the workflow that has delegated the task. You may have to test this for yourself.

Hi Simon,

 

Thanks you. Yes, you are correct. I wanted to know if we can manually delegate a task to a SharePoint Group using a Flexi Task. But that is not possible at all. Even confirmed that with the Nintex Customer Support.
