NAC Complete a task assigned from another workflow with a complete task action in another workflow
I built a workflow that uses the assign a task action with the escalation, however I need the task to be able to escalate if not completed to a different set of individuals. So, I created a SharePoint list and scheduled another workflow that will assign a new task out to the other individuals if the original task does not show competed on the SharePoint list. I would like to set it up so if that when this task is completed then the workflow will complete the original task. I have a unique identifier built into the task name (see attached) but when i use the get a task action trying to find the task name I get a error. See attached. If you have any ideas on how i could get this to work i would really appreciate it.

Hi @Andrew87,
It appears that the Task ID you are using is not correct.
First, use the Get Tasks action to get all the tasks related to the workflow instance.
Then find the task based on your unique task name you have created.
Return the task ID for that task.
Use that task ID in the get a task action.
The error I’m getting is when I’m using get a task. I’m using a variable with the task name. Is it because I’m using spacing in the task name?
Hi @Andrew87,
I understand what your issue is. I am trying to explain to you that the value you are using for “Task” in the Get a Task action is not valid.
You are using the Task name as the value, but you need to use the Task ID, and I explained how to obtain it.
Hi @Andrew87 Has this answered your question?
Is there a way I could meet with a Nintex person and we can run through this? I can’t find a lot of documentation on these actions and still having issues finding the specific task I need to complete
The information you are providing shows that you are using the task name rather than the task ID. I understand that this was the Nintex for SharePoint online way of finding a Task, but it is not the Nintex Workflow way of doing it. For further assistance, I suggest that you contact your Nintex Account Manager.
