Hellowe have observed very strange behavior with some users. When downloading a PDF document, the downloaded file is not shown in the downloads folder.Only PDFs aren't being downloaded; other file types work fine. The server response has status 200; I see the request in Chrome Developer Tools, which confirms that the server successfully responds to the request. However, the PDF file still doesn't appear in the downloads folder. Other file types, like Word documents, for example, work fine in Chrome. Downloads work for all file types in Edge. For some users, it is a temporary problem and resolves itself after some time, but may appear again, it comes and goes. Problem appears only on K2 Sites.We weren't able to find out what is causing this behavior we fix it by renaming the user profile, Backup Bookmarks (take note of plugins) Close Chrome Rename C:\Users\%username%

Hello!Is it possible to prevent users from entering in characters such as “~” or “\” or “/” in a text field? I see that you can use a regular expression but am having a bit of a tough time getting this specifically… I do need to be able to allow the “$” to the field though... Thanks in advance!  

Hello Can you please help Create an Insight Workspace for our tenant. 

I created a workflow from a form; however, for future reference, I would like to store the completed form in a folder on SharePoint. I couldn't find a way to do this in Nintex Automation Cloud. Is this possible?

Hi, I have a question on getting two workflows to work together to get a notification email out to a customer.  The first workflow is where I’ve built a form inside the workflow.  It works as expected and upon submission creates a new record in the list.  Because the form is built inside the workflow and I don’t get the ID until the workflow ends preventing being able to reference that specific record ID in a notification email that was created in that first workflow.  What I decided to do is have created a second workflow that runs when it sees a new record on that list and in this second workflow, I get the ID as expected as the new record ID is seen then on the list   I need the ID so I can send in a notification email in this second workflow a link to that record customers can just click onto to get to that newly submitted record read only.  The Second workflow starts as expected and in instance ‘steps’ I can see the ID as expected but this second workflow appears to hang

My script to scrapes web data from tables is unable to target and tables in Edge. The problem started on Aug 7, 2025. The only thing I noticed is that Edge updated that day to Microsoft Edge-Stable Channel Version 139 Update for x64 based Editions (Build 139.0.3405.86). Whenever I try and target a cell in a table, I get the message “The webpage at… cannot be targeted. Please navigate to another webpage and try again.

​@EttienneS Hi, your name came up n K2 for VS 2015 package.  😁If VS 2019 can load the K2 designer extension, the deployment functionality could work?VS 2015 / 2017 / 2019 are highly compatible for extensions. Seems it just needs to change a few references to point to VS 2019 path/registry.https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/how-to-upgrade-extensions-to-support-visual-studio-2019/change K2 for Visual Studio 2015.xml:Reference 2019 name <AllowedDependency Type="Application" Name="Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019" MatchType="EqualTo" /> Path set to Microsoft Visual Studio 16.0SourceCode.VisualStudio(2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.SourceCode.Workflow.VisualS

Hi all   I am new to nintex workflow cloud. I would like to use values from a specific google sheet to populate a dropdown.  I use the data lookup control but when using google sheet connector I can only look up the list of sheets in the google drive rather than the content inside the sheets.   Is there any way I can achieve this?   Thanks.

Our Nintex scripts are failing to interact with Chrome today. The thing I noticed is that it works fine on bot machines where the Chrome version hasn’t been updated. I tested and watched one bot successfully interact with Chrome on version 138.0.7204.184, but then immediately fail to locate any Chrome elements once updated to 139.0.7258.67. Is anyone else noticing this issue?

My colleague has been having issues with submitting a process for approvals. She has been getting error messages like “Bad Request” or “Contact Nintex support or ProMaster’. She has tried everything and still the issue exists. Can anyone help with this?Kind Regards,

Is it possible to access process maps in Process Manager from Microsoft Copilot. The use case would be for a team to ask a question of Copilot, and the answer is provided by a process map. We would answer with a link to the process map.Our backup plan is to export the process maps to PDFs which is manual and could become outdated. Thanks

Hey all,I have a table in SFX (Edinburgh Update 3 (16.4.5.0) V2) with a drawer on the rows. The drawer contains a calendar component with a number of sources. The before load action on the drawer sets and query’s all the models used as sources and then opens the drawer. In the console I can see that all the data query’s and loads correctly, however the calendar component simply doesn't render. the drawer icon turns and I get a little sliver of space where the drawer should be, but no calendar. Any help would be great, thanks!

Uploading Files to Azure Blob Storage via Azure Function from Nintex Workflows While our awesome product team is working on a native capability to upload a file into Nintex Data. In some business automation scenarios, you may need to store files from into Azure Blob Storage. This article explains how to achieve that using an Azure Function with an HTTP trigger and calling it from Nintex as an external web service. Solution OverviewWe will:Create an Azure Function App with an HTTP trigger to receive a Base64-encoded file and store it in Azure Blob Storage. From Nintex, call this function as a web service, passing the filename, base64 and content. The Azure Function will return a SAS URI (secure access link) of the uploaded file.PrerequisitesBefore proceeding, ensure the following are in place:An Azure Subscr

Got a call from a user that there were a bunch of issues with some workflows. Turns out that the access token used in one of the connections in the workflow had expired and needed to re-authenticate. OK --- Easy fix to re-authenticate and get the workflows to start working again. BUTHaving workflows fail for this reason is NOT acceptable. I’m looking for a solution to be proactively notified BEFORE a workflow failure happens that a connection has an expired token. This way I can assume 100% uptime in my workflow by renewing the access token BEFORE there is a workflow failure.The connections screen in NWC only shows the date the connection was created. No where is the expiration date documented. So how is a Nintex admin to know when these things expire?Currently the only solution is to wait for a failure (and some angry customers) and then reactively address it by re-authenticating.This seems like a huge design flaw in this product tha

Anyone else having issues with SharePoint Online actions this morning? We’ve had workflows in place for years that are suddenly failing this morning with SharePoint Online actions. No changes to authentication, and the lists/files that the actions are supposed to pull are still there.  The the “Query A List” action, I can create a new action, successfully retrieve a set of lists in our SharePoint Online, but I’m unable to define any fields in that list to sort or filter by.  So it’s at least partially working, which would tell me it’s probably not an authentication issue.  I’ve made a case with support, but I’m just trying to get a feel for if anyone else is having problems.  Thanks!
