Hi!I am trying to start a workflow in NAC based on if a file in a document library has been modified. I have the start event to equal “update list item” but when I go in to modify anything in the library, the workflow does not kick off… Can a workflow be able to detect if a file has been modified in a SharePoint library?

Will my Nintex workflows that are currently in SharePoint 2016 and using the 2010 workflow engine continue to work if I migrate the site collection to SharePoint subscription edition?  Will I need to redesign them or will they work without any extra actions on my part?  

We create a folder in SharePoint from our Nintex Workflow, it needs to have unique number at the end of it, without symbols. eg Delivery Docket 12345With 12345 being the unique number, this number doesn’t need to mean anything, it just needs to be unique.How do I do this?

I want to integreate a service to my Workflow Cloud with a file upload.  I have defined the parameters according to the documentation. Like this:  "parameters": [                    {            "name": "modelId",            "in": "path",            "description": "Format - uuid. Model identifier.",            "required": true,            "type": "string"          },          {            "name": "includeTextDetails",            "in": "query",            "description": "Include text lines and element references in the result.  Default: false.",            "type": "boolean"          },          {            "name": "source",            "in": "body",            "required": true,            "schema": {            "type": "string",            "format": "binary"            }          }        ], But my action expects a string, not a file upload. (See attached image)Is that a bug?Or what must the input look like?Or is there something wrong in my definition? The other file upload types do not

Hi,I am facing slowness while editing a workflow. My workflow current size is 21MB which is less than the maximum limit. But it is very slow while editing and suddenly an page load error pop up and all the unsaved changes are lost.Kindly advise if anyone has faced an issue like this and resolved, thanks!

With the release of the September 2025 Cumulative Update for SharePoint, Microsoft has made changes to permissions that may cause solution deployment to fail, which ultimately will cause the Nintex for SharePoint installer to fail. The issue has been acknowledged here and, according to this page, a fix is planned in the coming October 2025 CU. I’d suggest avoiding this scenario if possible. However, if you must run the Nintex for SharePoint installer while your environment is on the September 2025 CU, please review the links above for workarounds.

New customization option designed to give you more control over how you interact with processes in Process Manager. With this enhancement, you can now decide whether the summary panel automatically opens when you navigate to a process. This helps streamline your workflow by letting you choose what’s most efficient for you:  Keep the panel auto-opening for quick access to process summary details.  Turn off auto-opening if you prefer a cleaner view when navigating into a process.  How to Set It Up You can adjust this behavior in just a few steps:  Navigate to My Profile  Navigate to Preferences  In Preferences, you’ll see an option labeled “Show process summary panel by default”  Check the box if you want the panel to always open automatically.  Uncheck the box if you want the panel to remain closed until you open it manually.  Your selection is saved automatically and will apply whenever you navigate to a process. Why This Matters We know every user works differently, some w

Here’s what I’m trying to do: I have a workflow that adds data to a list in SharePoint Online. I also have a Scheduled Start workflow that is going to run weekly and pull (query) data from the SharePoint list based on certain criteria.Later in the Scheduled Start workflow is an assigned task. What I’d like to do is have that task form display some of the data (i.e., from selected columns in the list), allow the assignee to make changes to it, and then write those changes back to the list.I know there is kind of a way to do something like this using XML and stuff, but it requires that a SharePoint Online start event be used. I have no need for such an event and don’t know how I’d use it in this scenario anyway.I’m open to alternatives to the above. But I’d like it if the task responder could update multiple SharePoint list items with one task.

Hi there, Is there the capability to make adjustments to the investigation form fields and the action form fields, the same as we can change the reporting form fields. Particularly within the investigation this would be useful, we require a lot more information and are currently using a template but as you can’t make the upload of the finished template mandatory this requires manual checking. Thank you

Is there any possible way to mass migrate Nintex Apps for Salesforce (SKUID) pages from V1 to V2? I don’t see any other way to do this than manually page by page, which can become quite cumbersome when you have over a thousand pages to convert. I’m starting to investigate the feasibility of migrating all our pages from V1 to V2 now, but the road block of having to go through the migration process manually page by page for 1000+ pages is already a tough hurdle, and then once that is complete I’ll need to rename all the pages to replace their V1 versions then review and debug all the pages manually again. I really just need to just do a full conversion replacing all the existing V1 pages and then test the new V2 pages because nearly all of our pages use page includes that reference other pages and this breaks when a V2 page tries to reference a V1 page. If anyone has any ideas for a way to do this in bulk it would be very helpful. My first thought would be to write a bulk APEX script to

Good day everyone,How can I display fields on my SharePoint list: I am using SharePoint 2019 and Nintex 2019, I have these checkboxes on my Nintex form I have placed each checkbox under a panel named categories, what I want to achieve is that, when a user selects the categories then the categories should show or be displayed on a SharePoint column named Supplier categories. Unfortunately, I could not display more than 255 characters in a supplier categories field because it is a single line of text, so I have changed the SharePoint field named supplier categories to be a multiline of text. but I don't know how I can make sure that all the categories that the user selects show up on the supplier categories field, please help.

I am struggling to set up my instance of Nintex Process Manager to only allow roles as the owner / expert, and not an individual user (trying to future proof to make it easier to manage when someone is promoted / resigns etc.).  Is there a setting where one can set it to only allow roles and no individual users (names) as experts / owners?

I’ve added some custom fields to a document library and would like to automate the check-in process when a button is clicked. From what I understand, the check-in action only works if the document has been checked out beforehand. I need to access the form, update fields, then click a button save, submit and check in the document. Is this possible?

Business processes run on data. But too often, the challenge isn’t just moving data from one step to another — it’s understanding that data, interpreting its meaning, and then making the right decision in the moment. That’s where AI inside a Nintex workflow can transform the game.Imagine a scenario where you need to:Acquire data from a document (invoice, contract, customer feedback, application form). Compare that data to another trusted source (CRM, ERP, compliance rules, another document or historical records). Decide on the sentiment or relevance of that information (positive, negative, unsure). Conduct and automate the right next steps based on the sentiment.Nintex’s platform already gives organizations the ability to connect people, systems, and data with no-code/low-code automation. By layering AI into the process, customers unlock powerful new capabilities. This means workflows are not just step by step actions being performed, but intelligent data driven decision makers.

We were hoping to make a Global Function that could take a variable with delimited headers and do the following: For each header, create a new variable that is named using this syntax: Header + “-ColNum” Value for the variable would be equal to the column’s number, relative to the other other headers in the delimited variable.  As an example, a delimited variable like this: “Account Number, Balance, Address”Would result in the following variables:Account Number-ColNum 1 Balance-ColNum 2 Address-ColNum 3 In future steps of the wizard, this would allow us to use the new variables in place of hardcoding the column values. This would also make it so that if the order of items changed in the delimited data, the Wizard would still work correctly since the global function would be determining where that particular column is in the data at runtime.  Unfortunately, we can’t reference a variable in the variable name portion of the of the “Set a Variable” action.  Is there anyway to make variab

I'm fairly new to Nintex Workflow, though I do have some experience with other workflow applications. Right now, I’m working on configuring a Set a Condition step on my workflow with multiple criteria.What I’m trying to do is that when a [Vendor Id] is empty and if the [Status] field is either “Awaiting Final Approval” or “Dept Approved”.Solution #1If current item field equals value [Vendor ID] is emptyAND[Stage] is “Awaiting Final Approval”OR[Stage] is “Dept Approved”Solution #2If current item field equals value [Vendor ID] is emptyAND[Stage] is “Awaiting Final Approval”ORIf current item field equals value [Vendor ID] is emptyAND[Stage] is “Dept Approved”Based on my experience with a previous app, the second solution usually delivers the best results. However, I'm not sure if that applies to Nintex Workflow. When I tested the second option, it didn’t trigger anything, whereas the first one did work. Could you help clarify this for me? I really appreciate your support. Thanks in advanc
