I am trying to pull all attachments from a sharepoint list using the “Get item attachment by name” control. Now, my question is… will nintex be able to connect to a url as such to connect to the list?
I notice this list is located under a users personal location… now, they gave my admin acct access but I am not able to connect to that list.

Hi @jpacheco
This looks more like a OneDrive URL to me. Are you able to set up a connection into that location and retrieve the file via the OneDrive connector?
Hi @jpacheco Has your question been resolved?
@brent_read ,
Thanks for your response… I will attempt this and let you know!

Brent,
So I was able to setup a connection to that location I believe… but how does one go about retrieving all attachments from all items listed?
I need to pull all attachments from the items and copy them somewhere external. I don’t know where to even begin there…
Help?

Ok, so I put together this WF but not able to publish it...could I be doing something wrong?
Hi @jpacheco,
It’s hard to know why the workflow will not publish without seeing the issue.
If I were to attempt this solution, I would do it like this.
Use a start form for the start event. Nothing needs to be on the form; it's just a way to start the workflow. It appears that you have the start event set to run with every new file added. This is also a valid solution.
Then, use the Microsoft OneDrive for Business - Get folder contents action and set a variable to save the Paths of all the files in the folder.
Next, loop through the paths.
With each loop, get a file.
And then store it externally. In my example, I am using Box.
The workflow will look like this.
You can run this for each folder unless you find another way to change the path dynamically. I haven’t thought that far ahead yet .
