Nintex Workflow

The NWC help page on tasks (https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nwc/Content/Dashboard/Tasks.htm) specifically states that NWC administrators can respond to other assignees' tasks (see "Respond to Tasks", section 1b). The exact wording of the section is "if you want to view and respond to any active tasks, click All active tasks" However, there is no response / completion option on my Tasks dashboard (other than the "My Tasks" tab). Does anyone know what is wrong? I would be most grateful if someone can shine some light on the problem.

I cannot figure out what the correct syntax should be for the path expression in the Query JSON action.This is my sample data: When I parse the userCreated it returns nicely John into my variable: But this is the one I actually need: The id of the first element of mediaItems. So I use mediaItems/(0)/id: But this returns an error: Questions:What is the right syntax? Where is this explained/described?

Is there any way to format the email in forms other than the very basic tools that're shown?  Also are css and html available for the email?

Can anyone recommend a good file management system that isn't SharePoint? Looking for something with extensive features for creating and restricting access and intranet options. 

I am trying to create a simple workflow kicked off by a Form event in NWC. The form captures a few values like name/email/date which are set to variables, and then are used to generate a document which is then uploaded to a Box Folder. This part is working.... For the next step, I want to reference that file that was just generated and uploaded to Box and then set metadata on it. Where I'm stuck is that to take an action on a file in Box, I need to fetch the file ID, however the previous Generate Document step does not appear to save the newly created Doc's ID as a variable.  How do I reference the created file that was just uploaded to Box so I can perform a Box API action like updating it's metadata?  

In the newest version of Nintex Workflow I am trying to add a text mask to a short text box for a phone number e.g. (999) (999 - 9999) However it seems that this feature has disappeared from the editing options. Any way to add in a text mask now?

I have an approval workflow that created multiple documents and saves them out to Dropbox for Business.  The files route as required, but my last step is to get those documents into another repository that is provided by our core vendor.  That vendor does not have an API (Synergy for JHA) to connect with.  Our only option is to drop them to a network drive and import them using a bot.  My issue is how do I get the documents from Dropbox for Business to a network drive?  I know Nintex is working on connecting network drives to NWC, but that will not be ready in time for my go live.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I'm sure I could export to a SharePoint list, then grab from there with a bot, but there has to be a more streamline way to do this.  I'm already at 168 actions and the workflow is starting to have other issues. 

I am trying to obtain the key value of an field after a MySQL insert command in Nintex Cloud For example, I might run a mysql command INSERT INTO mytable (firstname,lastname) VALUES('John','Doe') and mytable contains the columns ID, firstname, lastname. Where ID is an autoincremented, key field.    How can I reliably retrieve the value of ID for this insert command? I cannot run a separate SELECT last_insert_id() command because Nintex connects different instances of the workflow with the same connection. I have tried this and it resulted in duplicate keys.  

Hi There, I have created a form where I am asking the user to input a postcode, how do I validate the field to ensure it is a genuine Postcode format for the UK?   I am using NWC   Thanks

Hi, Is it not possible to create a form with dynamic options in the dropdowns based on certain criteria.For example; i have a dropdown with 20 different options. When selecting one of these the options of another dropdown should change accordingly. I realize that i could create 20 new groups and make them visible according to the users selection. However, that just seems to tedious and frankly not that dynamic. Am i missing something here?Additionally i am wondering why it is not possible to dynamically update the options in the forms without manually doing it - here i mean it should be possible to extract data through API requests daily for example. 

I'm new to NWC , I was wondering if there is any way to pass values from NWC to Sharepoint on-prem, My specific case scenario is to have users scan barcodes for Employee's IDs and Training Course names and then have the workflow query a list to retrieve Employee and training  details according to the barcodes in order to create Training records.

Hello,I am trying to digitize a complex financial decision process in which the user is able to first toggle to select or deselect several categories, and based on these decisions additional fields allow further specification of the case's details. These decisions happen on multiple levels, asking the user to further specify his selections. If a setting is not active however, further specification is not required. (Imagine this as a decision tree which only adds branches when required) In this scenario, the very same form elements might show up at many different places in the process, and would influence different variables each time. However, the user should only be confronted with those forms if it's relevant for the actual case (if he/she rejected an option, there is no need to further configure it).Rebuilding the form for every possible scenario would cause it to become enormously big and complicated, with hundreds of widely identical elements.A soultion to this would be a form tem

Hello, I am trying to update the create item action with few additional columns and its saving for a moment and the column from the action is getting disappear as soon as i save or publish the workflow :(. So decided to through the Update action and its happening with this as well.  Are there any changes recently to these actions?  Edit: The list has 30 columns of different data types.   Edit 2: It seems the changes are getting rolled-back as soon i try to test the workflow using "Workflow Testing" option. If i re-open the workflow, the columns added to list are there.  Thanks,Devendra 

Hello, is there any way to send and access data from Nintex Workflow Cloud to/from legacy systems? For example, can data that was entered into a Nintex web form be made available in an on-premise CRM and vice-versa (i.e. establishing a connection via API/JSON)?   Thank you for your help!   M. H.

Hello, If we use the paging in the form, when some click "Next" using mobile, it will take the user to bottom of the page rather to the top of the page, may we know why? Edit: Its happening even in the desktop as well.  Thanks,Devendra

Hello,   I have a form that I created in Workflow Cloud that will be sent out to External Users. Our ultimate goal is to  save the submitted form as a document and attach it to a SharePoint Library.    How can this be achieved in NWC?

Hi, We have a TEST and Production versions of Nintex cloud workflows. I tried to override the production one using TEST workflow but it says, the workflow exists already with the same name.   Also, its a pain to update all SharePoint connections for each action in another workflow( TEST to Production). It would be great if you can have connection at one place or have an option with variables to update the connections between TEST and production.  What are the best practices to deploying changes from TEST to production?  Thanks.  Devendra 

We have had an issue with our form and workflow where the email address for a user does not match their username. This is not a data quality issue, there is a valid reason why the primary SMTP/email address is different from their email address. I have a form with a data lookup control with an Azure Active Directory data source.This only returns the email address of the user.We use this to assign a task (form based) to the user.The user receives an error that they cannot access the form. So as an example the email is jadoe@domain.com The username is jdoe@domain.com The task is assigned to jadoe@domain.com, however the user assigned the particpant role is against their username of jdoe@domain.com. And when they log in to NWC they see no assigned tasks in the mytasks dashboard. So the tasks actually need to be assigned to the username of the user not their email address when using Azure AD. I can put in a workaround of 'get user detail' Azure AD action to query for the username and store

Hi all,   I'm looking for some guidance on a request I am trying to build out.  I am building out a complex approval process in which the end user has to enter 3 fields into a form and then the customer information would populate(13 additional fields used for validation).  Right now I have tested using a bot to go out to our core system and retrieve the cusomter data.  This then emails the end user with that information for them to proceed.  This is unacceptable to them.  What they want is once the 3 data fields are entered, a call to core would occur and retrive the information in order for them to continue with the process.  I see the data lookup control requires an HTTPS for an API call.  Right now we are using http and working on converting our API to HTTPS.  My question is, once we get the API to HTTPS, how will the form perform?  Will it be similar to the SharePoint data lookup where each field is a drop down?   My second question is, is there a way to program a workflow to auto

The 'Get file from record' works great with attachments but not files. Is it possible to get a file from Salesforce Files?   I used Salesforce Rest API call to get the download url ... However, I am not sure how I can convert this to a file to then send to Box.  Thank you, 

For intance, if a user wanted to enter 4 persons, and another person wanted to enter 6 persons, each with a name, phone number, and email address, are there form controls that would allow that?    Ideally I would like the inputs for each person to be entered to show up all at once. So if the user indicates they have 4 persons to enter, they will see 4 name text boxes, 4 phone number boxes, etc. Then I would like to store those values in some sort of collection and have the records created in Salesforceas part of a workflow. How much of this, if any is possible?

Hello,   Its it possible to make the questions bold in Nintex cloud form using CSS?   Thanks.

Hi all. Currently doing a Nintex trial, I have a NWC workflow set to start on a new file in OneDrive for Business, check some details, then start an RPA botflow. I've been testing this workflow for the past few weeks and most of the time it runs perfectly when the files land (1-3 times per day), but it intermittently fails to detect the new file in ODfB and doesn't run. E.g. I decided to grab some additional details from the files to push through to the final SharePoint Online list, so went back to the start of the month and re-added all the files (in batches of 5-10) for about 35 runs in total. They all ran perfectly except for 3 (in a row) that weren't detected.Since then, it's been detecting the new files maybe 80% of the time. Assuming this isn't standard behaviour, does anyone have any suggestions that might help it to run more consistently?The files arrive as email attachments, and I'm using Power Automate to monitor the O365 mailbox and save them to ODfB for Nintex to pick them

 @burked, do you or your team have any experience with Salesforce Gov Cloud? Our Public Sector Salesforce lives inside a special tenant where only US people have access to the servers, backups, etc. It still does not work despite having spent countless hours trying to get it to work. I have noticed that the NWC workflow, Public Sector – Opportunity Sync often fails to run, or when it does run, it fails. How long should it take for it to listen and hear a modification? Why is it that when I go into the start action in this workflow, it often says, bad gateway, does not let me change the table, and frequently loses the start conditions altogether? When I don’t get bad gateway, Once again the 2 conditions I have added are gone. Also note that the object name is greyed out. I cannot change it.
