Environment - SharePoint 2019, Nintex workflow 2019

Situation -

Trigger a Nintex list Workflow to send email on creation of new item in an Anonymous list 

Problem -

→ Nintex list workflow failed to start 

Workarounds -

→ tried to run the action inside action set with elevated privilege (Outcome - failed to start)

→ Design Nintex Site workflow trigger (Outcome - successful, however i need to workflow to be triggered after every minute, that is not happening )

Problems -

  1. Any solution for triggering the list workflow successfully.
  2. Anyway to schedule site workflow to trigger every one minute .

 

 

Your SharePoint admin can likely set the farm to allow workflows to be triggered by anonymous users (we do it for lists that create items from external emails).  That would be the first thing I would try.

Also, a site workflow can likely not fire every minute as most SharePoint farms run workflow jobs on a time - I believe ours is every 5 minutes.  Try expanding the time window slightly.  Plus, if site workflows are anything like list workflows on an item, multiple occurrences cannot be in process at the same time...
