COERCION FAILED ERROR - NINTEX - SHAREPOINT

HelloI have a Nintex workflow which Query List to retrieve all Active Reminders and then for each ID of the Reminders it sends an email notification.Every time i run the workflow i have an error: Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type.However if i run the Query List alone, it works fine (and store all variables in Collection). Knowing that the Query List filter the items having the field called "Next Reminder" to be between the 2 date ranges of this Reminder.So if "Next Reminder" is between "Reminder Date From" and "Reminder Date To" > Send Notification.If i go to the items and remove all values inside the "Next Reminder" field, the workflow works fine.Workflow attached.I appreciate your help.

Starting workflow via update item

Hello, I'm having some problems in my sharepoint workflows and I wonder if someone here can help me fix this. I have a workflow A in list A that starts on item creation and modified, this workflow creates a item in list B. When the users attachs something to the item in list B it runs a workflow B that updates the item in list A. This triggers workflow A again (as it should do) but it gets stuck in starting status for like 30 minutes - 1 hour (after this time the workflow runs normal with no error messages), if I update the item manually the workflow runs with no problems at all. Someone have some ideas to what may be happening when I update the item from another workflow? I saw a similiar post on this forum but it's from 2017 and it's not solved, that's why I created this new post. Thanks for the help!

Workflow SQL ISNULL Query Results

I have a 2019 on prem workflow query against a data warehouse that appears to provide different results when the workflow runs as opposed to the 'run now' option within the workflow editor and the results when I execute the query in SQL.  Originally I was getting a DBNull error which I figured I could resolve with an IFNULL statement, but when the workflow executes the action it seems to be replacing a non null value with the blank value I am trying to replace potential null values with.  I am not a SQL guru, I barely get by with the help of Google, so perhaps this is just a misunderstanding of what I am trying to accomplish, which is to query the data warehouse and replace a NULL Received Date value with another value as to avoid the DBNull workflow error.  Here is the workflow SQL query which pulls back a result that matches the data warehouse; 1/8/2019.But when the workflow executes, it appears to replace the value with the ' ' value even though the value in the data warehouse is no

Updating same document on Nintex on Premise (SharePoint) without the need to create copies

I have a Nintex workflow that is used by our legal team for approval and signatures. The document is saved on a network share and each user is directed to that location where they sign the document - the document will have multiple signatures.    However, when the second (and subsequent) users sign they must save the document with a different name. I need to keep one document with all the signatures

Tabbed Interface Open / Closed jobs

Hi there - I am new to Nintex and hoping someone can help.  I have a Nintex Form which records progress on tasks.  its a very simple form - it has one REPEATING panel called "Task", containing three fields "TaskTitle (single line field)", "Task Progress" (MultiLineField) and a Drop Down Choice "Yes/No".  (I am happy to change this to a Yes No Checkbox if it makes life easier)  I have two Buttons at the top - Open Tasks, Complete Tasks.   What I would like is for, when a task is complete (the "yes" option is chosen in the drop down field) the Panel hides under the "Open Tasks" button interface, and shows but is disabled under the "Closed tasks" interface.  Could anyone give me an idea on how to achieve this?  Thank you.

Choice Controls, checkbox/radiobutton and label alignment changed

We just recently updated Sharpoint and Nintex from 2013 to 2016. Previously on the choice controls the choice text was next to the button/box.  Now the it is below the button/box. Is there a setting or change that would put the choice text back next to the box like it used to before the update?

Auto redirect not working in web request workflow action

Greetings:I am trying to call a REST Web Service using the Web Request action (POST) in Nintex Workflow (on-prem 2019). I have successfully called this service using both curl and Postman so I know I have the right parameters but when I try this in my Nintex workflow I get a "301 Moved Permanently" response status. I believe that this indicates that the server has moved to a new location (my response headers include one that says Server=nginx) but I can't make it work even with the new location information. So I checked the "Allow auto redirect" setting, assuming that this is what curl and Postman do to automatically follow the redirect but when doing that the response status is now 500, not 301, and the error message becomes "Result: HTTP::REST Error while determine Operation for request URI."Does this mean that even though I specified POST as the request type that this information is not passed to the service on redirection? What do I need to do to get this to work in Nintex when it

Flexi task sending duplicate emails to Cc group

Good morning.I inherited a WF recently that has many different levels of manager, department or group approvals. For example, a flexi task is assigned to a group with several approvers. There are other groups Cc'd on the task. So depending on the number of approvers assigned the task, that is the number of notification emails that each member of the Cc group will receive. This occurs regardless if the 'Create individual tasks for all group members' is selected or not.Is there something I'm missing? Or, should I remove the Cc groups from the Flexi task and create a 'Send Notification' step and add the Cc group there?Thank you - obrijo

Reading Excel cell is not working

Hello,I'm trying to read cells from an Excel file with Nintex workflow. It look's simple, but it doesn't work for me. These are my current steps for testing: 1. the requested Excel is opened using "OpenWorkbook" on the current document in the library, which is specified by "Name"2. There's only one sheet in this file, named "test". In order to proof that, I run "GetSheetsName", as shown below, but the result is empty:3. I tried to read the data of a single cell either using a range or define it by row and column. Last I tried to get a whole row by specifying a range. But this doesn't work neither.  Regardless, what I try the result is always empty and i get the following error message:<soap:Fault xmlns:soap="<a href="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/</a>"><faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an obje

Print to PDF with Javascript

Hello fellow Nintex Admins, i am testing Nintex Forms Enterprise at the moment, to see how the implemented PDF creation works. The problem is, there seems to be no button binding for this feature and i can only print through the Ribbon Bar. In my form i don't show the Ribbon Bar, so the user can't access the Ribbon Menu Button. Is there a Nintex JavaScript method to trigger the feature? CheersDaniel

Update Hyperlink field with Dynamic text

I have multiple lists with approximately 500-1000 items each. For each item, there is a title field and a hyperlink field. Unfortunately, the creators of the list only filled out the URL portion of the field, and not the description. I would like to create a workflow to automate filling out the hyperlink fields. The issue I have is anytime I use a workflow variable, it loads the string into just the URL portion.  As it stands now, here is what I have tried: Query list. For each item, do the following:Query for title, set to single line of text (s_title) and query for hyperlink, set to single line of text (s_url).Build string (s_urlString) as s_title, s_url. Update hyperlink field to s_urlString. If I type a string into the update item action (ie "http://yahoo.com, test") it works fine. The word "test" shows and links to yahoo. Anytime I use any variable or other reference, it does not work, and instead the hyperlink shows as "http://yahoo.com, test" with both strings in the URL portion

Email Only Shared Mailbox From SharePoint Group

Hi Nintex Community, I'm trying to create a review process using Request Review. - Multiple people will be reviewing a Nintex form by leaving a comment.  I'm sending the review to multiple shared mailboxes at the same time.  My issue is: Because I'm using SharePoint groups in order for the users that have access to the shared mailbox to have access to review the form they need to be in the SharePoint group as well. Doing this makes the shared mailbox and the users get the email. I would like the shared mailboxes to be the only ones that receive the email but have the users that have access to the shared mailbox to have access to review the form. I'm open to all options if anyone has a different approach I should be using. - Can post pictures if needed If anyone would be able to help me with this process it would be very appreciated.  Thank you for your time in advance
