Nintex Workflow

We’re using Nintex Automation Cloud.We have a component workflow that’s initiated by a web service call.Q: Is there any way to determine WHO initiated the call?  Either the source IP address (ideal) or at least the Windows username (which will typically just be a service account)?  

Hello everyone,The new Tables API is coming and along with it will be the ability to create tables and columns, add, update, and delete rows, and query or aggregate data using OData. That means you can connect your table data to Excel for analysis, to Power BI for live reporting and dashboards, or to your own apps, scripts, and integrations.We’re opening the API to a limited group of early users and would love for our community to try it out, if interested please fill in the request form for access (shortly), and we’ll follow up with access details and documentation.Thanks, Rick

I would be interested if you can compare Nintex eSign and DocuSign specifically from a signer authentication, audit trail, and evidence perspective.My objective is to strengthen the authentication of customer signatures and reduce the legal and financial risk associated with disputed signatures.Today, a customer may sign a Credit Application and later, particularly if the account becomes bad debt, claim that the signature is not theirs. Resolving these situations can involve internal investigations, Legal, settlements, collection challenges, and potentially litigation.For that reason, we need more than the ability to capture an electronic signature. We need sufficient evidence to establish:who signed; how the signer was authenticated or their identity verified; when the document was viewed and signed; what document was actually signed; whether the document remained unchanged after signing; and a reliable audit trail that can be retained with the Credit Application.I am currently evalua

I have created a repeating section. Added one choice control drop down which is populated from sharepoint list.Based on the selection,  trying to get more data from the same list using external connection and filter based on current row selected value in drop down.Works fine for 1st row. But as soon as add 2nd row, it stops working.  Is it a limitation or I am doing something wrong

I’ve embraced the use of Nintex Tables for storing information for use in workflows, and have recently banged my nose on the 1000-row limits for various Workflow actions. For one supporting application, I have to update a reference table of 1000-2000 rows, 5-6 times a day, from a report that can have upwards of about 1200 records, any number of which might have changed and require an update. These aren’t huge datasets, but when tag-teamed with the 10,000-action limit for an instance, and the number of instances in our licence, I can see that this has the potential to eat up a lot of our license capacity. For a supporting flow. Today we have a Power Automate flow that does this update, but I’d rather move it to Nintex for a variety of reasons.I was able to figure out a workaround for my immediate situation, but it didn’t really answer the broader question of working efficiently with data in a large table, and there doesn’t seem to be much discussion on the topic so far (that I have been

I have 2 Nintex tables, and one has a relationship column. When I create a Form for the table, the related column is not available. Anyone else try this? I can populate the related column in the grid view of the table, but that will not help my users add data to this table. 

Background: I have a workflow with a form start. It includes an assign task to multiple users and a get task that are in a parallel path. I’m using create a text string to create a URL that shows up in the SharePoint list for the user to select and edit the task form. Issue: I need the user to be able to use the link to update the form more than once. At this time, They can click the URL make and make an update. This update shows in SharePoint but doesn't relay on the form. When they use the URL to go in a second time to update the changes from update 1 aren't there and they can not update and save an update 2. The docx attached contains an image, this is the workflow for the task. What do i need to edit in order for the user to be able to update the task form multiple times and the form to save those changes in the form not just on the SharePoint list.

Is there a workaround (rules or something) to disable ability to add/remove rows in a repeating section after default has been set? We just need people to add additional information to existing rows, not add/remove anything.  Please advise!

 I have a repeating section on start form which contains read-only short/long text controls.The default value of the repeating section is an external data’s records collection.The external data is a data lookup to a sharepoint list, getting columns:Control/field mapping is working for:ObjectiveDetails ObjectiveMetric ObjectiveName ObjectiveID ReviewIDControl/field mapping is not working for ObjectiveComments. I have tested:Renaming the field in Sharepoint and on the form control Creating a new repeating section in the same form Creating a new repeating section in a start form on a separate testing workflow Using label type form control instead of long text Setting the first ObjectiveComments as default value in a label outside of the repeating section (worked)I am going to use a workaround of having the ObjectiveComments displayed in a label using the field from a separate external data variable which filters by current row ObjectiveID, but would like to check if this is a bug to be re

Is there a way to save a Custom theme in Form Styles? I am currently having to set each option on each workflow. I’m looking for a way to save the options for a Custom theme so it’s already in the dropdown list and I can just select it on each workflow instead of setting each value every time.

Simply said, I want to use a template to format my Nintex Workflow emails, so that all emails sent by Nintex will be easily and visually recognizable by the whole organisation.With base64 encoding I can include a logo and with the following code I can center my email message in a nice bordered section. However, whenever the email is a task email it will have a link at the bottom of my email which will be outside of my template and not centered. Which kind of ruins the whole idea.Is there any way to apply custom CSS or a template to the Task emails and preferably by all emails from the Nintex Workflow Cloud? Example HTML code to center emails (cross compatible with Outlook):<div style="margin-top:60px;text-align:center;"> <table width="600" style="border:2px solid #dddddd;text-align:left;width:600px;" class="table"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="padding:30px;"> <p> <img height=

I want the form user to enter time-of-day on and off times, so I am not interested in the date component, just the time, including hours and minutes.There doesn’t seem to be a way to turn off date (just time) in the DateTime control and the alternative solution I started to develop looked like it was going to be very clunky (choice or number control for the hour, number for the minutes, parse that out with a formula, validate the hours and minutes are 0-12, 0-60...etc) Worst case, I’ll provide instructions to select today’s date and the time, then will parse it out after submittal.Is there a more elegant way to gather this info, though? Thanks in advance!

In NWC I need to create an xtension using api v3.all the posts I’m seeing suggests that NWC can’t utilise v3 at the moment.is this the case or am I just configuring the xtension wrong?. I keep getting an error saying the specification is incorrect. cheers marc

I’m working on a flow to update a Nintex Table from a report retrieved from our ERP. Part of the flow requires that it compare a ticket number from each row of the report to what’s already in the table, so it will only add new rows.The approach I’m using is to use a Query a Table action to generate a collection of only the ticket numbers (i.e. theTableResult>Rows) then using a Check If Item Exists in Collection action from a ticket number in the report, to see whether a given ticket number is in the collection and hence in the table.The snag I’ve run into is that the Check action doesn’t seem to be correctly evaluating whether the supplied value is found in the collection. This is what the collection looks like in Log to Instance Details, along with the raw result of the Check action for ticket 71629 (supplied as a default text variable):Logging the First Row from that same table query appears to show the value correctly:In other words, it seems to work fine showing the info directl

I’m trying to generate a text variable with a custom date.I can’t use “Format date from String”: none of the built-in “Format” options match what I need.I’d prefer NOT to use a form (this will be a component workflow, invoked from an external app), so I’m not sure this documentation applies:  https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nwc/content/designer/Functions/formatDate.htmThis is EXACTLY what I’m looking for: yyMMddHHss:  I’m trying to use fn-FormatDate({Workflow:Current Date and Time},"yyMMddHHmm") in “Set Variable”.It’s printing out “fn-FormatDate(...)” instead of executing the inline function:Q: What am I missing??? BACKGROUND:What brought the question up is that I was trying to do several SMALL tasks that I THOUGHT were “trivially simple”: a) format a custom date string (this question), b) generate a random number, c) create a text file formatted with embedded newlines, d) etc. etc.I found this “workaround” for the custom date string:1. Call Format Date Time with one of the built-in form

Hello Nintex Community, I would like to know if there are any plans on the Nintex Automation Cloud roadmap to introduce:A native Workday connector for integrating with Workday HR and Finance systems. A Data Lookup capability similar to lookup actions available for other enterprise applications, enabling users to retrieve and reference Workday data within workflows, forms, and automation processes.We are exploring broader HR process automation scenarios and would be interested in understanding whether native Workday integration is being considered, or if there are any recommended approaches currently available through Xtensions, APIs, or third-party connectors.Any information on future roadmap plans, current alternatives, or best practices would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Hello!  Just curious if anyone at Nintex has any updates as to when Tables might receive API support?  We have a few different processes that would benefit from making the use of Nintex Tables over their current system, but we would really need the ability to read/write to the Nintex Tables from external systems before that’s possible.  2 years ago, we were told it was coming - I’m just hoping for an update on when. Thank you!

Dear Team,I am writing to request your assistance with an issue I am encountering while working with our mock SAP setup. Please find the details below, along with the attached Swagger file for your review.---1. Context- We are using the attached Swagger file to create a mock SAP environment.- I am using Nintex Workflow to retrieve data from this mock SAP via the defined API endpoints.2. Issue DescriptionWhen I retrieve data for a specific object (e.g., object code OC"), the HTTP response returns a "value" field that contains two (2) items. However, instead of mapping each item into its corresponding column, the system displays the entire "value" array as a single combined string in one field.Expected behaviour:| Column | Data || Value 1 | Item 1 from the response || Value 2 | Item 2 from the response |Actual behaviour:| Column | Data || Value 1 | Item 1, Item 2 (both items combined) || Value 2 | Item 1, Item 2 (both items combined)|In summary, the data is not being itemised or segregat

Salesforce is implementing a security change that affects OAuth refresh tokens used by integrations, including Nintex Workflow Salesforce connections. What is changing? Salesforce will invalidate refresh tokens that have not been used for 30 consecutive days. As a result, Salesforce connections in Nintex Workflow that remain inactive for more than 30 days may require reauthorization before they can be used again.  Who is affected? This applies to customers using the Salesforce connector in Nintex Workflow, particularly those who use it infrequently. What happens if a connection becomes inactive? If a Salesforce connection is not used for more than 30 consecutive days:  The refresh token may expire.  Workflow actions using that connection may pause (if error handling is enabled) or fail.  The connection may need to be reauthorized before workflows can successfully execute again.  Recommended actions To avoid disruption, we recommend one of the following: Option 1: Create a scheduled w

Hi Community,I'm working with Nintex Automation CE (Cloud) and have a workflow that inserts form data into a Nintex Table.As part of the same process, I'm storing file information in the table as a collection/list object. My requirement is to retrieve the file through the workflow and make it available to the end user, either by:Sending a downloadable link in an email, or Sending the file as an email attachmentMy understanding is that a downloadable link typically requires the file to be stored in a repository such as SharePoint, OneDrive, or another file storage solution that can generate a secure URL. If that's the case, I'm wondering whether Nintex Tables are intended only for storing file metadata rather than serving files directly for download.I would appreciate guidance on the following:Is it possible to retrieve a file stored in a Nintex Table and provide it to users through a downloadable link? What is the recommended or best-practice approach for this scenario? If external sto

Unlocking New Use Cases with Table Forms in Nintex DataFor a long time, Nintex has been exceptionally good at orchestrating workflows.Approvals, routing, escalations we’ve got that covered.But here’s the thing we’ve heard consistently from the community “Not everything needs to be a workflow.”At time we do come across situations where you just want to capture data, maybe attach a file or two, store it safely, and move on, no approvals, no emails, no workflow entitlements quietly disappearing in the background. That’s exactly where Nintex Data Tables and Table Forms step in. And with the introduction of the new File column type, they just became a whole lot more powerful.In the PastTraditionally, Nintex didn’t offer a native way to store persistent data with files.So, if you wanted to:Capture a signature Upload inspection photos Store feedback attachmentsYou usually had to:Push the file into a Document Management System (SharePoint, Box, Google Drive, OneDrive etc.) Trigger a workflow j

I have a Nintex Workflow online start form that has a People control set to allow multiple selections. Submitting the form kicks off a workflow that has a “Assign a task to multiple users” action. I would like to pre-populate a People control in the workflow task form with the selections from the People control on the start form. Anyone have a solution for this?

We've published two SharePoint web parts that bring Nintex Workflow Cloud directly into your intranet, so you don't need to switch between SharePoint and a separate Nintex portal to check on work.What they do:Nintex Workflow Tasks: see your pending and completed workflow tasks right on a SharePoint page. Approve or reject tasks in place, with an optional comment, and jump into the full form when you need more detail.Nintex Workflow Forms: browse available workflow start forms as clickable cards, so starting a new request is just a click away from wherever your team already works.Both web parts use single sign-on with Nintex, so once you're logged in, sessions stay active in the background with no repeated login prompts.Setup is straightforward. Register a client app in your Nintex tenant, drop the client ID into the web part settings, and you're good to go. Full setup steps and a user guide are included.You'll find them in the Template Gallery here: https://gallery.nintex.app/gallery/t
