Is it possible to pull data from a child workflow into the parent workflow? I am using Nintex and Box.

@poppy not exactly no. You can wait for the "child" workflow to conclude before the partent workflow continues:

 

However to get data from the "child" workflow back into the parent, the "child" workflow would have to write it to a system of record (such as SharePoint or Salesforce), and then the parent could query for the data from the newly updated record.

Hi,

You have posted in the Nintex workflow cloud section.
Are you actually using Nintex workflow cloud or are you using Nintex Workflow for O365?

Nintex workflow cloud section. I am not using this with O365 but with Box.com. Does that make sense?
