Nintex Workflow

Hi!I am trying to start a workflow in NAC based on if a file in a document library has been modified. I have the start event to equal “update list item” but when I go in to modify anything in the library, the workflow does not kick off… Can a workflow be able to detect if a file has been modified in a SharePoint library?

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

I want to integreate a service to my Workflow Cloud with a file upload.  I have defined the parameters according to the documentation. Like this:  "parameters": [                    {            "name": "modelId",            "in": "path",            "description": "Format - uuid. Model identifier.",            "required": true,            "type": "string"          },          {            "name": "includeTextDetails",            "in": "query",            "description": "Include text lines and element references in the result.  Default: false.",            "type": "boolean"          },          {            "name": "source",            "in": "body",            "required": true,

Hi,I am facing slowness while editing a workflow. My workflow current size is 21MB which is less than the maximum limit. But it is very slow while editing and suddenly an page load error pop up and all the unsaved changes are lost.Kindly advise if anyone has faced an issue like this and resolved, thanks!

Here’s what I’m trying to do: I have a workflow that adds data to a list in SharePoint Online. I also have a Scheduled Start workflow that is going to run weekly and pull (query) data from the SharePoint list based on certain criteria.Later in the Scheduled Start workflow is an assigned task. What I’d like to do is have that task form display some of the data (i.e., from selected columns in the list), allow the assignee to make changes to it, and then write those changes back to the list.I know there is kind of a way to do something like this using XML and stuff, but it requires that a SharePoint Online start event be used. I have no need for such an event and don’t know how I’d use it in this scenario anyway.I’m open to alternatives to the above. But I’d like it if the task responder could update mul

Good day everyone,How can I display fields on my SharePoint list: I am using SharePoint 2019 and Nintex 2019, I have these checkboxes on my Nintex form I have placed each checkbox under a panel named categories, what I want to achieve is that, when a user selects the categories then the categories should show or be displayed on a SharePoint column named Supplier categories. Unfortunately, I could not display more than 255 characters in a supplier categories field because it is a single line of text, so I have changed the SharePoint field named supplier categories to be a multiline of text. but I don't know how I can make sure that all the categories that the user selects show up on the supplier categories field, please help.

Business processes run on data. But too often, the challenge isn’t just moving data from one step to another — it’s understanding that data, interpreting its meaning, and then making the right decision in the moment. That’s where AI inside a Nintex workflow can transform the game.Imagine a scenario where you need to:Acquire data from a document (invoice, contract, customer feedback, application form). Compare that data to another trusted source (CRM, ERP, compliance rules, another document or historical records). Decide on the sentiment or relevance of that information (positive, negative, unsure). Conduct and automate the right next steps based on the sentiment.Nintex’s platform already gives organizations the ability to connect people, systems, and data with no-code/low-code automation. By layering AI into the process, customers unlock powerful new capabil

Is there a form variable that allows the approver to approve a form within an email? 

I need a column that shows the current date, so it updates every day, How can I do this? I have a wf that loops every day and updates the current date column daily but wondering if there is a better way as I need to keep the row where I run it from.

I set up a workflow which has a trigger condition to check if the date in a column is = to the current date. If it is then the WF is triggered. However it not being triggered. I was thinking about starting the WF when a new item is created and using the pause until action but I not sure how many rows will be in my list and have WFs running. If I had 100 rows all with WFs running will this be an issue. I have a another WF which updates the current date column to the current date every day. I was thinking this would be the trigger for the WF above as the column has been modified?  Please advise.Thanks   

We have a few on premises SQL Servers that are currently used by Nintex Workflow.  They are due for a upgrades and/or migration to new servers (Windows OS upgrades, possibly SQL Server version upgrades).  What would be the impact on the Nintex connections? When I look at the connection definition, it appears that I can edit the connection and set a new database host name, if that name changes at all.  Could it be that simple?  Or is there anything else to re-configure?

Hello!I would like to request your support in setting up a connection from Nintex to send or receive information from Power Automate. Honestly, I don’t have much experience in this area and I’m feeling a bit lost when going through the documentation.I would really appreciate it if someone could provide me with a guide or step-by-step instructions on how this should be done. I’ve been considering using "Call a web service – Wait for a callback" since I need to receive some information back, but I’m unsure about how to properly configure and confirm this process.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Hello,I get the following error The specified value is unknown.

I have a data table set up with two columns:Column 1: Name Column 2: Email AddressThe intent is for the user to select a name in the start form, which auto-populates the email in another action within the same form. The selected information can then be used in multiple forms throughout the workflow.  However, I am only able to make the employee email visible with a label action.  I am unable to use the information within the label action in subsequent forms within the workflow.  Can the selected table information be used as a variable within a text-short action?Is there a way to use the table information selected in a start form in multiple forms within a workflow?See the example workflow below, which hopefully explains my situation. https://deepwater-376274.workflowcloud.c

I created a workflow from a form; however, for future reference, I would like to store the completed form in a folder on SharePoint. I couldn't find a way to do this in Nintex Automation Cloud. Is this possible?

Hi, I have a question on getting two workflows to work together to get a notification email out to a customer.  The first workflow is where I’ve built a form inside the workflow.  It works as expected and upon submission creates a new record in the list.  Because the form is built inside the workflow and I don’t get the ID until the workflow ends preventing being able to reference that specific record ID in a notification email that was created in that first workflow.  What I decided to do is have created a second workflow that runs when it sees a new record on that list and in this second workflow, I get the ID as expected as the new record ID is seen then on the list   I need the ID so I can send in a notification email in this second workflow a link to that record customers can just click onto to get to that newly submitted record read only.  The Second workflow starts as expected and in instance ‘steps’ I can see the ID as expected but this second workflow appears to hang

Hi all   I am new to nintex workflow cloud. I would like to use values from a specific google sheet to populate a dropdown.  I use the data lookup control but when using google sheet connector I can only look up the list of sheets in the google drive rather than the content inside the sheets.   Is there any way I can achieve this?   Thanks.  

Uploading Files to Azure Blob Storage via Azure Function from Nintex Workflows While our awesome product team is working on a native capability to upload a file into Nintex Data. In some business automation scenarios, you may need to store files from into Azure Blob Storage. This article explains how to achieve that using an Azure Function with an HTTP trigger and calling it from Nintex as an external web service. Solution OverviewWe will:Create an Azure Function App with an HTTP trigger to receive a Base64-encoded file and store it in Azure Blob Storage. From Nintex, call this function as a web service, passing the filename, base64 and content. The Azure Function will return a SAS URI (secure access link) of the uploaded file.PrerequisitesBefore proceeding, ensure the following are in place:An Azure Subscr

Got a call from a user that there were a bunch of issues with some workflows. Turns out that the access token used in one of the connections in the workflow had expired and needed to re-authenticate. OK --- Easy fix to re-authenticate and get the workflows to start working again. BUTHaving workflows fail for this reason is NOT acceptable. I’m looking for a solution to be proactively notified BEFORE a workflow failure happens that a connection has an expired token. This way I can assume 100% uptime in my workflow by renewing the access token BEFORE there is a workflow failure.The connections screen in NWC only shows the date the connection was created. No where is the expiration date documented. So how is a Nintex admin to know when these things expire?Currently the only solution is to wait for a failure (and some angry customers) and then reactively address it by re-authenticating.This seems like a huge design flaw in this product tha

Anyone else having issues with SharePoint Online actions this morning? We’ve had workflows in place for years that are suddenly failing this morning with SharePoint Online actions. No changes to authentication, and the lists/files that the actions are supposed to pull are still there.  The the “Query A List” action, I can create a new action, successfully retrieve a set of lists in our SharePoint Online, but I’m unable to define any fields in that list to sort or filter by.  So it’s at least partially working, which would tell me it’s probably not an authentication issue.  I’ve made a case with support, but I’m just trying to get a feel for if anyone else is having problems.  Thanks!

I am trying to go through and making an inventory list via sharepoint. The main key part that I am missing is that the user will put the name of the product in a form and range of numbers and I need to the product to separate into each individual lines into a sharepoint list. So for example product name: Purse, Quantity: 50. Start number: 1 End number 50 Sharepoint list will look like this: Purse #1, Purse #2, Purse #3 through Purse #50.  

Hi Nintex Community,I’m working on a workflow in Nintex Automation Cloud that starts with an item creation in a SharePoint list and involves an approval process. Our goal is for the assigned approver to engage in discussions with the team (in CC) before making a decision. Ideally, the approver would use the initial email to access the Task Form, participate in discussions, and then return to the first email to approve or reject the task.Currently, I’m avoiding sending the usual task approval email by leaving the Assigned Task email blank in the Assign a Task to Multiple Users action. Instead, I'm attempting to include the Task Form URL in a Send an Email action for initial communication. However, I haven’t been able to successfully pass the Task Form URL to the email.Has anyone successfully implemented this, or is there an alternative approach to achieve this functionality? I’d appreciate any guidance or insights on making the Task For

I have a Start Form and the first few fields are “First Name”, “Last Name”, “Email” and “Phone Number”. Once these are entered, I basically want a timer to start and if the user hasn’t submitted the form within 2 hours, I want to send an email reminder to them to complete it. After that, I’d also want to trigger another one after 30 days. Is there a way to accomplish this without the user ever actually submitting the start form?

Hi all, We’ve used AI to translate forms into other languages since Nov 2023.  It has been a game changer for organisations that have a wide community of users.  However, what happens if the person submits their answers in another language?  Well, that’s very easy using our new AI language actions. First we want to detect what language they were using and we have two options for that.  We could see which language they translated their form into by accessing either of the form variables Language name or Language code. That makes the assumption they switched their form to a different language and also answered in that language which might not always be the case.  Maybe they switched their form to French but still answered in English. So the more robust way of checking is to interrogate one of th

In a NWC Workflow, I am using the "Get members of a SharePoint group" action.My selected Connection is a "SharePoint Online: List and libraries connection" and I am a site collection administrator and member of the owner group of the chosen site. The connection has been established with the same user.If I click on "Retrieve groups", I get an 403  What could cause such an permission issue?
