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

Start Nintex workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item

We have a Nintex workflow which starts with the minor version, goes for multiple approvals and ends with publishing the major version by changing the approval status to "Approved" But. Is it possible to start this Nintex workflow like the following way where we can start an OOTB approval workflow?@ The best advantage of using the above way is that user can just click on "Publish" and it will start an approval. Or is there any OOTB way to kick off the workflow from item ribbon? I also read the following explanation where we can achieve it through some custom coding but the client want to go for an easy way. http://www.ilovesharepoint.com/2009/01/publish-major-version-declarative.html PS : Yeah, they laughed at me saying why Nintex can't provide this feature when even an OOTB 2010 approval workflow can do it.

Query XML No Outputs

I have an email enabled library where there are SurveyGizmo form inputs. The XML is extracted from these inputs. This tested successfully recently (yesterday), but the problem is it periodically fails to give outputs (today). Nothing in my Query XML or Create Item actions changes, so I don't understand why I get XML output sometimes and sometimes not.

Nested inline functions not working after migration to SharePoint 2019

Greetings:I'm working on a site migrated to SharePoint 2019 (from 2010) for which I'm getting lots of "Sorry, something went wrong" problems that I've traced (after lots of testing) to an issue with a conditional statement in a Nintex form. This is the statement:fn-Not(fn-IsMemberOfGroup("HBG PMs"))If I usefn-IsMemberOfGroup("HBG PMs") orfn-Not("HBG PMs") the form works fine. I'm sure that it's the nesting that is causing the problem. This same expression has worked in my SP2010 environment with no problem for years. Can anyone recommend a way around this problem? FWIW, I'm using this expression as a conditional in the Appearance section of a repeating section control. Thanks!

Start a Task Process - fill out additional columns

Hello, I have a workflow with the 'Start a Task Process' action, is it possible with this action to have the workflow fill out some additional columns for the tasks? Would like it to fill out the ID of the item that the task is running against but don't see an option to populate the additional columns. I am aware of the related item column but that doesn't seem to have a great way to perform a look up against. Thanks,Zach

Round Robin assign a large number of items (loop is extremely slow)

Hello All,  I currently have a site workflow that looks to List A (list of associates and order number of which they should be assigned an item. Ex - Joe Person, order number  = 3; John Person, order number = 6 - if Bob Person who's order number is 5, the next item will be assigned to john Person) and updates List B with the next available associate (John Person) on the list then sends them a summary of all of the items that were assigned to them.   The workflow runs a inside of  loop until no more unassigned items exist.  Inside of the loop is a for each action that queries the list for the last assigned item, gets that person that it was last assigned to then assigns the current item to the next person (via order number) on the list.  The issue is that it can take 20 minutes to loop through just 6 items and there are over 200 items that may need to be assigned DAILY. so its pretty time sensitive.  The list of associates available is currently 12, this is not a sttatic number of peopl
