Retrieve Mail Addresses from all WFs

Thanks for your reply

I think I dont get it. I mean, there should be stored that in my WF1 I have a Send eMail Action to colleague1? Where does Nintex pull the information to which colleague should the Mail go?

Hi @TimothyMW

The configurations for emails and tasks are stored in the workflow definition which is stored inside of the NintexWorkflow library, although possible to extract it is not very practical, you will also run into issues where variables are in use for the workflow and in that case there could be any origin of the email and you won’t be able to track it just from the definition.

Even if we can assume the workflows all have hard set emails addresses which is rare, it would require you use a PS script to gather all of the workflow definitions (we might be able to help with that if one exists) and then potentially another script to parse the XML of said definitions looking for email addresses.

Are you able to share the reasons for the request? Perhaps we might be able to advise alternate methods.

Hi @TimothyMW 

It is always best to not use hard coded emails inside workflows and to use lookups or variables, that way data will have to pull from sharepoint its self and on that case is easy to find and correct. 
 

What version of sharepoint are you using? there is a small chance I have some scripts that can help you.
