Not entirely sure why I’m getting status of NotFound for this Xtension. We were testing ability to export a workflow from one Nintex tenant to another using a workflow rather than manually doing it. 

 

I have checked everything - region is fine. Other actions within this Xtension works just fine so what is the issue with this particular action that it cannot recognize a workflow ID? It’s published and in DEV. I republished in PROD and still returning NOTHING.

Hi ​@brandiwoodson 

Can you let us know what endpoint you’re actually using and the configuration in your xtension file and how you have your path configured in the file?  Also if you can send a screenshot of the action config in the workflow. 

There’s only three things I can think of for the not found error in this case 1) the workflow id is incorrect somehow, that’d be an issue in the workflow action config. 2) the endpoint itself isn’t being found as a resource. 3) there’s a mismatch in what region the tenant is in (you already ruled this one out)

Hi ​@brandiwoodson,

Adding to Brent, the 4th thing I can think of is that the Auth Token you are using can't see the workflow due to permissions.

Original workflow
 

 

#1 ) I created a new workflow and published it to “development” assigned use. It’s new so don’t think item #1 is an issue, as I copied the ID from the URL and hard coded it into the configuration. I’m also using the same account I created the workflow so ownership shouldn’t be an issue I would think?

Workflow
 

 

 

#2 ) Not sure what that means to check if this is an issue.

 

#3 ) I disabled export published workflow action and added list published workflows and it’s working, so yeah, I don’t think #3 is the issue. If so, wouldn’t the rest of the actions available not work?

Workflow designer:

Output for “list published workflows” action, which is working fine. 

 

Can someone check the API in gallery and tell me if they experience the same output for “export published workflow action? I’m wondering if it’s an issue with the API from gallery.

Hi ​@brandiwoodson,

Adding to Brent, the 4th thing I can think of is that the Auth Token you are using can't see the workflow due to permissions.

How do I test this? I created the token and I’m a global admin and org admin for all our Nintex environments. I’m just using 1 tenant at the moment which is our Production US one. I would think this should work if the rest of the actions are working but I could be wrong.

 


I just tested “delete workflow” and rendering the same error.

HI ​@brandiwoodson,

You can test your token by using the Nintex API dev page.
https://developer.nintex.com/docs/nw-api-docs/ref/workflows-v1/operations/create-a-design-published-export

I found that if I chose the wrong region, I got the error that you are seeing.

I tested the action from the Gallery on a Component Workflow as per your example, and it functioned as expected.
