Nintex Workflow

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

Hi, we want to align our workflows similar to our code building with a Dev, UAT and Prod environment style. With that said, making multiple copies of a workflow and keeping it all straight in the same NWC location is messy and not ideal. I thought I read somewhere about getting a separate site for this but can't recall where or how. How do you handle this AND if it is a separate site how do I get this started?

We're using Okta for some connections which contain some sensitive/secret information (passwords). We do not want this information visible to others, beyond admin type controls making these viewable what other ways can I store secret information like this?

Hi all,  I have a Lookup to a sharepoint list of names. I can pass the selected name to the document tagger and to an email just fine.  If I include it in the file name of a document generation the flow fails on error 500. 500 - {"requestId":"5f45b705e4b097cd39316557","message":"Internal failure while handling request"}Instance ID: de5d3181-adaa-405c-b769-f51c92088310_1_1 Checking the instance details I see a " " after the selected name. This is not coming through in the email or tagged document. But I'm wondering if maybe this element is somehow getting into the 'create pdf' step. PDF's can't have a """ in the name so that could be causing the error if that's what's happening.  My list doesn't have after the names so I'm guessing this is some normal aspect of a lookup. Wondering why I can't find anyone else with the issue though. 

In NWC, if I have a decimal variable that I want to display two decimal places, I cannot. Am I missing something?  Ex: if the value is 1.00 and I output that value, it comes out as 1.0  Setting the "Default Value" setting to 0.00 reverts to 0.0 on save and there is no Currency type.

Hello,  I have a component workflow that takes a date/datetime value from Salesforce and enters the date into a task form. The date in the form is different than the date in the workflow, and I am wondering how I can fix that. Example: In the workflow, if I use log to instance details, I can see that the date value is for example "2020-05-05." (May 5th, 2020). However, in the task form, this date will appear on a date form field as May 4th, 2020. And if I show the time on the form control, it will be May 4th, 2020 6:00pm. 2 screenshots:  

Hello.  Is there any way we can remove the page number on the top left corner of the "forms"?  Also, is there a way to format the choice multiple and single?  I'd like to make the questions in bold letters if possible. 

Hello, I would like to add a clickable link to my Nintex Task form, as part of a Nintex workflow.   Is this possible using the NWC form controls? 

Hi, We are using Nintex Workflow embedded in our website using the iframe code it gives when we publish the workflow. It works well. However, we would like to pass a URL parameter to it from the parent window (the website page).How can we do this as when I tried to pass the URL parameter using simple javascript like the below doesn't work.It doesn't even seem to call the onload function. When I remove the script tag for the ntx-embed-iframe.js, it does call the function.Please help.<body onload="setTheId()"> <script src="https://sample.workflowcloud.com/embedform/iframe/ntx-embed-iframe.js" data-id="ntxFormContainer-sampleworkflowid"></script> <iframe id="ntxFormContainer-sampleworkflowid" scrolling="no" style="width:100%; border:none;" height="100%" src="https://sampleworkflowid.workflowcloud.com/embedform/iframe?id=sampleworkflowid"> </iframe> <script> function setTheId() { alert('in the function'); var loc = window.loc

In NWC I need to create an xtension using api v3.all the posts I’m seeing suggests that NWC can’t utilise v3 at the moment.is this the case or am I just configuring the xtension wrong?. I keep getting an error saying the specification is incorrect. cheers marc

This maybe too stupid a question to ask - I have just logged into a new customer Tenant but i do not seem to have the ability to create a 'Default Storage Location'. The option is missing from the Dashboard.I've confirmed it's there in my dev environment, it's been a while since starting from scratch and i guess i'm missing something very obvious.Has anyone come across this before?. Thanks Marc

I have created a very simple node.js application which starts a server listening on port 3000.  It has one GET method with no authentication and no parameters required.  When i run this and call it through the browser i get the expect response.    I have created a swagger file for my application.    When i call it through Postman i get the expected response and statuscode 200. All good. I have then imported the swagger file into Nintex to create a private connector.  It imports without issue.  When i run this connector as a step in a workflow I get Internal Server Error { "statusCode": 500, "message": "Internal server error", "activityId": "94f886a4-54dc-4a9c-a145-628c8fdd125d" }. Do i have to format the response from my node.js application in a certain way for it to work properly in a 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.
