​@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.VisualStudio (2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.If anyone tried this and didn’t work, chime in.   Thanks.

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with a link to the process map.Our backup plan is to export the process maps to PDFs which is manual and could become outdated.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

I have a Process  that needs to be archived and it has some Risk Treatment dependencies.From what I've read, I need to remove the Risk Treatment dependencies, submit the changes for approval and then I can archive once approved? But... I can't figure out how to remove the Risk TreatmentsIf someone has advice on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated

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 Subscription – with access to:Azure Blob Storage (Storage Account):This is where all the files will be uploaded.Steps:Go to the Azure Portal. Search for “Storage accounts” and click + Crea

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 that should be addressed by the dev team.

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!

I am trying to go through and making an inventory list via sharepoint. The main key part that I am missing is that the user will put the name of the product in a form and range of numbers and I need to the product to separate into each individual lines into a sharepoint list. So for example product name: Purse, Quantity: 50. Start number: 1 End number 50 Sharepoint list will look like this: Purse #1, Purse #2, Purse #3 through Purse #50.  

Hi Nintex Community,I’m working on a workflow in Nintex Automation Cloud that starts with an item creation in a SharePoint list and involves an approval process. Our goal is for the assigned approver to engage in discussions with the team (in CC) before making a decision. Ideally, the approver would use the initial email to access the Task Form, participate in discussions, and then return to the first email to approve or reject the task.Currently, I’m avoiding sending the usual task approval email by leaving the Assigned Task email blank in the Assign a Task to Multiple Users action. Instead, I'm attempting to include the Task Form URL in a Send an Email action for initial communication. However, I haven’t been able to successfully pass the Task Form URL to the email.Has anyone successfully implemented this, or is there an alternative approach to achieve this functionality? I’d appreciate any guidance or insights on making the Task Form URL available in the email so the approver can bo

I have a Start Form and the first few fields are “First Name”, “Last Name”, “Email” and “Phone Number”. Once these are entered, I basically want a timer to start and if the user hasn’t submitted the form within 2 hours, I want to send an email reminder to them to complete it. After that, I’d also want to trigger another one after 30 days. Is there a way to accomplish this without the user ever actually submitting the start form?

Hi all, We’ve used AI to translate forms into other languages since Nov 2023.  It has been a game changer for organisations that have a wide community of users.  However, what happens if the person submits their answers in another language?  Well, that’s very easy using our new AI language actions. First we want to detect what language they were using and we have two options for that.  We could see which language they translated their form into by accessing either of the form variables Language name or Language code. That makes the assumption they switched their form to a different language and also answered in that language which might not always be the case.  Maybe they switched their form to French but still answered in English. So the more robust way of checking is to interrogate one of their answers using the new AI detect language action.  In my example, I have an enquiry form and one of the fields is called “What is your enquiry”.  I pass the value of that field to the detect la
