Using Plugin Output (API JSON) in Nintex NAC Form Controls

Hi Team,

I am working with Nintex Automation Cloud (NAC) forms and have created a custom plugin that fetches user/customer data from an API and displays it in a searchable dropdown.

When a user selects a record from the dropdown, the plugin successfully returns the selected data in JSON format.

Example output:

[
{
"CustomerName": "AGILE ARBOR PTY LTD",
"CustomerNo": "1059530",
"PhoneNo": "02 6334 2544",
"Address": "344 LIMEKILNS ROAD"
}
]

However, I am facing an issue while trying to use this output inside the form controls.

My requirement:

  • When a user selects a record from the plugin, I want to:

    • Display the selected values in other form controls (e.g., Customer Name, Phone, Address)

    • Save the JSON data into a SharePoint column

Hi ​@Kundan_Chauhan,

Welcome to the community.
To make things easier, I would include the customer's name, phone, etc., as fields rendered inside the plugin. That way, you don’t have to worry about linking them to external fields.
Then configure your isValueField field as an object so that the plugin outputs an object with all the customer details that you can then loop through with a workflow and create your SharePoint item.
