Hi ​@csergent7,

It sounds like you want to add a task form URL to SharePoint. Is that correct?
If that is the case, you would need to run the task and an update item action in parallel.
One branch creates the task. The second branch pauses for a minute to ensure the task is created, and then it updates SharePoint with the task form URL.

This is quite helpful. We are looking at the Microsoft Power Platform and Nintex Automation Cloud. Currently, we are using both, but we want to determine one of them, for ongoing purposes. Not being able to write a URL to SharePoint Online for a user to click back to the form task was preventing me from considering Nintex Automation Cloud, but this changes that perspective. While my team is evaluating, I am going to bookmark this.

This is what I was looking for. Thank you!

I tried this and this is what I get from the Form URL of the parallel task:

tf_31f82d4909044b89a66ec07735f13cde_form_url  

Grabbing the Task Name (Form link) variable gets this:
tf_31f82d4909044b89a66ec07735f13cde_task_name_link

Clearly not URLs, just the form ID and variable name. Am I missing something?

Hi ​@AnneC-2,

Welcome to the community.
This thread concerns Nintex Workflow. Based on the information provided, you appear to be using Nintex for SharePoint Online.
To achieve a similar solution in SharePoint Online, in the parallel branch, you need to query the task list by task ID or name to find the task and return its link. 

Nope, Nintex Workflows, formerly Nintex Automation Cloud, formerly Nintex Workflow Cloud. I did the whole parallel branch, wait .5 minutes, and the item is created but I don’t get URLs, just the text above.

Hi ​@AnneC-2,

Sorry, my mistake. You are 100% correct.
I have attached a workflow that demonstrates how to retrieve the task form URL using the concepts already mentioned in this thread.

Ah, got it, thank you! I was using the task action in the workflow and grabbing the Form URL variable from it, as shown below, instead of the Get Tasks action to get Form URL. Both have Form URL as a variable, but only one is a URL… IMO, since these aren’t URLs, they should be renamed.
 

Hi ​@AnneC-2,

A product manager just informed me that the Form URL variable is for use in the task action email.
The footer in the email provides a link to the task.
If you would like to use a custom footer, you can turn the footer off and use the Task Name and URL variables to create your own footer, with links to the task form. Unfortunately, these variables cannot be used outside of the task action.

I hope this clarifies the use of these variables.
