Convert a completed form into a pdf file

I have a standard NWC form with a workflow. When the user completes the form, I want to save the completed form in pdf format in OneDrive. I am aware of Document Generation however I don't want to use a template. I want to save the file as is. How do you achieve this?

SharePoint Online: start event using Approval Status (moderation status) as condition

Hi All,What was easy with Nintex on-prem and in PowerPlatform is proving to be difficult in the new platfom.SharePoint Online Document Library - check in a document to Major Version ((Publish) to triger NAC review/approval flow.NAC flow start event on SP update list item - works with no condition. Start event will not fire using a condition on the default field “Approval Status” (it’s in the pick list) of “Pending” (and have tried using “2” which is in the trigger event JSON)Anyone else encountered this? or have a workaround?TIARob

Assign a task to multiple users [Error Code: IO.AsyncActionExecute.ErrorResponse]

HiI'm sending a multi task to two people. One send variable is a 'people' type and the other is a text string. It seems to be failing on the text variable that contains a correct company email address.  Failed to initiate task [Error Code: IO.AsyncActionExecute.ErrorResponse] Does the task require only people type vars to send to? Do they need to somehow resolve? Thanks

Confusing issue with the people picker email control

Hi,I have an issue with the people picker on a form that seems to pull in the persons display name instead of their email address. It only happens to one person and I’ve checked their AD creds and they’re fine. Can someone tell me what attribute is used for getting the email address?I’ve assumed it is mail which has the right value in AD but seems to pull in this person’s display name.TIA,Paul

Create multiple PDFs (in a loop) and attach all of them to one email

Here’s what I’m trying to do: within a Loop for each action, generate a PDF document - then attach each PDF from the loop to a single email.I’m creating a workflow for an employee incident report (for example, when an employee slips and falls at work). There are three elements to it: the employee’s own report, their supervisor’s report, and one or more witness reports (depending on how many witnesses there were).The employee and supervisor reports are no problem since there is only one of each. For the witness report(s), I’m using the Loop for each action for each witness named. Within the loop, a component workflow is called to get the data from each witness (the parent and child workflows run concurrently). The component workflow data is passed back to the parent, and I use that to create a PDF document for each witness. (I’m not creating the PDF in the child workflow because I don’t believe a PDF can be passed back to a parent.)Once all the reports are generated in PDF, I want to se

Nintex Workflow Cloud - Clear Collection Action

Need assistance with ultimately re-using an entire collection. Scenario: We trigger a workflow on new list item in SharePoint online. I then query the item back that triggered it from the beginning after some information is updated so I can have the latest "version" of that list item. We do assign a task and make some more updates with update list item action.The Issue: We can't reuse collections over once used. Ok? So, for each subsequent assign a task item I have to rebuild default values in on a new collection I create. We want a dynamic approach that just replaces the collection we started with. I thought clear collection would work. Clear the collection and Nintex would notice it's EMPTY so we can reuse it.The Test: I have tried using a simple clear collection action and no matter what version of the original collection I use, it keeps giving me the following error message:"The specified value is unknown. [Error Code: TypeCasting.UnknownCasting]"My collection name is "Collection_C

Custom date format regular expression

Hi, I'm struggling to implement a custom date time format regular expression for the following format:MM/DD/YYYY, hh:mm AExample: 1/24/2023 11:30 AMI tried something this, but not sure how to implement it in a regex action:\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}\s+\d{2}:\d{2}\s+(AM|PM)I also tried to do it on a task form, however could not do it on a submit rule (its used for a comment log, so it has to be on the submit rule). Also tried the format date action, but it returns the seconds as well as a day behind from the current date time for some odd reason

Changing the Delimiters on a Multiple Choice

 Nintex Automation Cloud has a great way of capturing data that you need to store back into your Saleforce organization. However, multi-picklist fields require the information to be stored back by having each value separated by a semicolon. As the multiple choice input on form does not separate each value by a semicolon, this makes the writing back to Salesforce not as simple as the other input fields.This post will introduce 2 methods that you can do to get the values delimited by semicolons:1 – Use a loop to add the values into a text stringDrag and drop the Loop for Each action into your workflow. Inside the Loop for Each, also drop the Create a text string In the “Target Collection” insert the multiple choice input field. Next, go to the text string action and hit the Insert button to insert the “Current Item”variable from Loop for each. Have a semicolon entered after the variableHave the result stored in a variable. Once the result variable is created, add it to the string compone

Stop NAC from escaping quotes in JSON response

I’m working on an Xtension and beginning to get frustrated with NAC’s treatment of quotes in JSON responses. I’m hoping that I’ve overlooked something, and that there’s a way to handle this without have to clean up the response that NAC produces. The API response is an array of objects with the id/name properties, looking like this:[{ "id": "20230205|32000|1", "name": "AdHoc" }, { "id": "20230206|32000|1", "name": "AdHoc" }] When NAC get’s this result through the xtension, the variables tab looks like this, which appears correct to me: However, when I log the “DailySchedule” collection to the instance details, it looks like this:["{\"id\":\"20230205|32000|1\",\"name\":\"AdHoc\"}","{\"id\":\"20230206|32000|1\",\"name\":\"AdHoc\"}"] When comparing that result with the actual API response above, I see that NAC is surrounding each object in quotes, as well as escaping quotes for each property. Unfortunately, this prevents the “Query JSON” action fro

Extract email address from People control

I am trying to extract the email address of the People Control from a form within NWC.  I noticed the control is a collection variable so I used the loop to capture the item and I dropped that information into a variable where I displayed it in the log. I needed to see what it really was. Ultimately, I want to take this email address and perform Create Item with on Prem Sharepoint.  If I am able to extract the email address from this control, I will be able to drop it into a People column in Sharepoint.  So here is what I see when I drop the contents into a variable.{"lastName":"XXXX","mail":"email.address@XXXX.org","firstName":"XXXX","displayName":"XXXX XXXX","id":"auth0|614269949dab75006817515c","tooltip":" XXXX XXXX Email: email.address@XXXX.org Login: auth0|614269949dab75006817515c","source":"vibranium"} This is my first foray into NWC.  In Nintex for Sharepoint, the process is quite simple.  I'm sure I am just missing how to do this.  I'm thinking get string might be the way to ge
