Nintex Workflow

Using NWC, my initial Form captures signatures.  Later in the workflow, a manager needs to approve the Form and wants to see the signatures.  My approach was to save the image file to share point docs folder as a .png, then use the Image action in the subsequent Form to pick up the .png image using the url path.  I was using the Sharepoint Online - Store a file, but can't figure out how to set the file name to something like "signature.png" so I can point to that file.  They system saves the file with Variable name with a bunch of number and letters.  I can't point to a file with a changing file name.  How do I set the filename? or is there another way to do this? This is the file name that is created:sig_se_trainer_signature_copy_A8fHskNMkS-1603898129619.png

Task Process action is not available on Nintex Workflow Cloud as like in Nintex Workflow for Office 365. Assign a Task action of Nintex Workflow Cloud could have only one user as below Is there is any other way on Nintex Workflow Cloud to start Task Process which involves multiple participants so that if any one of them Approve/Reject then the process should end. Please Help. Thanks

Hi, we use Sharepoint / Nintex 2010 Workflow. We plan a migration to the Cloud. Actually we stay in front of the decission between Nintex for Office 365 and Nintex Workflow Cloud.   The question is now, around the migration path. Is there a option (with Sharegate) to migrated to workflows to Nintex Workflow Cloud? What are the limitations?   Thx Best regards

Hi,  I'm interested in using the new getQueryStringParameter() formula in NWC form variables.Not sure how this would work though as the form URL is generated by Nintex. Has anyone used this formula to populate form fields in NWC yet? Would love to hear on your approach. Cheers

As you are working in NWC, you may find that there are occasions when you need to import a workflow with the same name as an existing workflow in your tenant. This may be due to a DevOps process where you are promoting workflows from a dev tenant to a production tenant, for example. As of today (10/15/2020), if you try to import a workflow key and provide the same workflow name as an existing workflow, you'll get the following message " A workflow with this name already exists." and you will be prevented from importing the workflow.  The workaround for this issue is to do the following:Click the import button Paste the workflow key Enter a temporary name for the workflow and click import Once the temporary workflow has been imported, open it in the designer Use the 'Save as' option to save the workflow On the save screen, in the workflow name field, replace the temporary name with the name of the existing workflow you are replacing. A message will appear below the workflow name field t

If I have 10 forms in SPO that each separately run a O365 workflow that at the end, calls the same NWC workflow - is there any downside to that? Is there a concurrent instance limit to NWC workflows (only 5 at a time or something)?

I was creating a form yesterday using attachments and it failed on the file upload.I realised there was a problem with the  Default File Storage connector which I resolved and it all works ok.Our tenant has been around for a while and on our customer tenants they do not have the option to configure and are using the new internal blob method. So I was wondering how do I turn off the Default File Storage in our tenant and switch to the new internal method? https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nwc/Content/Settings/DefaultFileStorageFAQ.htm indicates soon but this has FAQ been around for a while (Jan 2019).

Hello,   I am wondering if there is any way to copy small parts of a workflow from one workflow to another workflow? I know there is the ability to call workflows but those are meant for bigger workflows. Not sure if it might be possible to be able to copy it to the clipboard and then paste it in another independent workflow in the future but thought it might be at least worth asking. Would help speed up in developing workflows that may reuse similar parts albeit small parts but with lots of configuration. Thanks.

A list on SharePoint 365 has multiple content types. Nintex Online supports nicely the creation of multiple forms. But in Nintex Workflow Cloud a Create List Item action keeps the Add Fields button greyed out on this list? Are the multiple content types the reason for this?

Hi all - I have a NWC form that will be used for an inspection on a mobile phone.  The inspector completes the fields and takes multiple photos using the File Upload field and submits. The form/workflow saves the File Upload contents as a Collection ("Photos"), and I can use Get Item from Collection to save 1 photo as an attachment on my SharePoint List using SharePoint: Add Attachment to an Item.  Just having trouble getting a Loop for Each to work to get ALL of the photos out the original Collection and onto the SharePoint list item. Any suggestions would be appreciated! ThanksIan

NWC form.. I'm trying to set a default value for a Data lookup control based on a selection chosen on the selection made on another data lookup value. The regular choice field has the option to set "Default Value" but not Data lookups.. is there a way I can achieve that in NWC form?  

Each month we work to improve the Nintex Process Accelerator Gallery by adding new features, templates, and tools. Sometimes those updates include new UI components, and one addition I would like to highlight is the Process Accelerator Journey at the top of the Gallery!Although it looks great, this image is not just a graphic. Simply hover over the images to understand their purpose. From left to right, we have the following steps:Watch the Tour - Discover the Process Accelerator Gallery in this video tour Learn More - Get trained up on Nintex at Nintex University where you can register for on-demand training, virtual instructor-led training, and get certified across the Nintex stack! Grab a Template - Learn how you can quickly import templates into your Nintex tenants. Connect with Community - Luckily, you've already done this step as you're reading this post!The Process Accelerator Journey should get you going in the right direction to identify, automate, and bring greater efficiency

With 200+ templates spanning process maps, workflows and forms, botflows, and custom connectors, the Nintex Process Accelerator Gallery has a ton of content. However, one of my favorite features is the ability to quickly import Nintex Workflow Cloud templates into your Nintex Workflow Cloud tenant.  When browsing the gallery, once you select the 'Workflow' capability and the 'Nintex Workflow Cloud' environment, you will see an additional feature on the top of available templates.If you find any templates you would like to import into your Nintex Workflow Cloud tenant, follow these steps: Enter the name of your Nintex Workflow Cloud tenant. For example, if your tenant is safalo.workflowcloud.com, you will only want to enter the text 'safalo'. Click on the 'I Want This!' button to see a prompt that shows which tenant you will import the template into. Click 'Ok' If you have not already signed into your Nintex Workflow Cloud tenant, you will be prompted to login. If you have previously s

Extending Nintex Workflow Cloud Further with Azure FunctionsNintex Workflow cloud allows workflow developers to build robust workflows using a number of different actions in the Nintex Workflow Cloud designer. However, sometimes an action that needs to be completed is not available out-of-the-box. A workflow developer could look for a web service that could accomplish the action requirement, but what if you wanted more control of the action and not be beholden to the availability of the web service? Azure functions to the rescue! In this example, I need to be able to generate a random number to select a winner of a survey contest in which users entered the contest by submitting anonymous forms in Nintex Workflow Cloud.

I have a workflow where i need to convert epoch time to standard UTC time.I have created a workflow (maybe too long but it works) where i get today's time, do a date difference calculation in minutes, multiply that too get my milliseconds.   It all works  when i convert from a date to epoch time in milliseconds but when i convert the other way around i get the date and time format as follows:2020-09-22T02:03:00Z Does anyone know of a way to convert the date without having the "T" and "Z" letters present, which i understand are for the time format. Cheers Marc

Hello, there. I was wondering if any of you know the answer of the following question. I was using "Assign a task" action, and I chose form based, I've already designed the form, and I want to send the form URL to people to collect their information, but this may take a long time. So I was wondering if there's a expiration date for this Form URL? If yes, then I could make a note in my email to notify people. Thank you!

Hello, I am just creating my first form using the Nintex Workflow Cloud. This is a simple form which creates an item on a Sharepoint list every time it is submitted. I don't want to have duplicates, so one of the columns on my Sharepoint list only accepts a unique value. I need to find a way to know when the "create an item" fails (because it is a duplicate) , so i can send the user to an error page.How can i accomplish that? Thank you.

I'm working on an approval workflow that allows the end user to choose who to send the approval to.  We are using an email control currently and am running into an issue where people are miss-spelling the email address which terminates the workflow.  I do not want to maintain a separate email list in SharePoint as that would be another list to maintain.  Instead I would like to call Azure for emails addresses, however, it limits you to 999 rows to return.  As we have over 1100 employees, how can I ensure I return everyone's email address I need.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Kyle Barton

I am looking to query a SharePoint List and get all items that were created today. Once it gets into the evening, the UTC for "Current Date and Time" gets into the next day. (i.e. when I run it at 09-09-2020 9:50pm EST, Current Date time returns 2020-09-10T01:50:46Z). I know I can convert that to a string and convert to my timezone, but then how do I convert that back to a DateTime object? The query requires a DateTime since the SP field is a DateTime

The users are filling an Input start Form on NWC with attachments.  we want to generate a PDF into document template from the filled form and append the attachments provided on the form to the generated PDF as one document before sending it to the users to approve.  We are able to use docgen to generate the pdf from the form data. But can someone help and explain how can we merge the attachment files? detailed steps will be appreciated..  new to NWC.    Thank you!

There is a SharePoint Online list and some items have one or attachments (actually images that I need to integrate with DocGen later). So, I was jumping up and down with Release 107 with all these great new actions. You can imagine I had a good weekend. But now it's Monday and... something doesn't seem to match.To store the attachments of a SharePoint Online list this is to me the basic component workflow:Basically: I get the array of names. Then loop through them and store the files. All done. But the pain already shows in the picture. The Get Attachment Names action demands an object (I love these objects and how well they are integrated in the UX) as a result. Instant protest from the action: Must be inside the Loop For Each. ??? The help file clearly shows something else:I cannot select a collection for output. It has to be an object. Also, the Loop For Each action demands a Collection but won't accept the collection of names embedded in the object.This is where I get stuck. What d

Hey Nintex Community, Just had some complaints about failed instances. When I went to check on them, they all failed at the same point: a "Get user details" action which takes as input the email variable stored earlier in the workflow (using a "Query user" action) and produces as output the associated name (in this case, of our admin assistant). When similar issues have occurred in the past, it was usually due to small changes in employee titles--I have the workflow set up to find email addresses based on job titles, so as to avoid issues with staff turnover. I checked the assistant's title, which had indeed changed by a few characters (a word was no longer abbreviated). I updated the title in the Query Users box.  However, unlike in the past, this didn't fix the problem. I still got a "Bad Request: email is required" error at the point in the workflow when the email variable should have been used to look up the admin assistant's name. I've temporarily fixed it by having the Query User

Hello, I am receiving this error when trying to update a Salesforce record at the beginning of a component workflow. Full Error Message: {"error":"request id: 5f3d74f1e4b09209fe15ff17 response code: 404, message: Provided external ID field does not exist or is not accessible: [], provider message: "}Here is the initial actions of the workflow:The "update a record" and "retrieve opportunity field" actions both reference the same Salesforce ID. The update action will throw the mention error when running the workflow. If I disable that action, the all other uses of the ID work fine, including another update action later in the workflow.  I tried to do some googling on this issue with no luck. I'm not exactly sure if this is a Nintex issue or something to do with Salesforce and how it handles these integrations, but was wondering if this was anything other people might know a workaround for.  The main point of confusion for me is why the update seems to not work when it is used at the begi
