We create a folder in SharePoint from our Nintex Workflow, it needs to have unique number at the end of it, without symbols. 

eg Delivery Docket 12345

With 12345 being the unique number, this number doesn’t need to mean anything, it just needs to be unique.

How do I do this?

You could use the SharePoint Item ID as unique number. For this you have two options:

  • Create First the Folder and get the ID afterwards and then rename the folder.
  • Use a Query over the Documentlibrary and check what is the current highest ID and then add “1” to the current highest ID and use it direkt for the creation.

Hi ​@StephD,

Welcome to the community.
Another option is to add the NWC toolkit Xtension available from Nintex gallery.
https://gallery.nintex.com/t/toolkit-for-nwc
It has an action that generates a random GUID.
