Is there a method in Nintex Workflow Cloud to directly utilize a standalone form, designed within the 'pages' section of Nintex apps, as a task form in a workflow? I am looking to save time by reusing the existing form design, without the need to recreate the form or manually transfer its controls

When giving a Rich Text box default content from SharePoint, it is surrounded by < p > & nbsp; < /p > when you look at the source of the control. I’m looking for a way to keep only my original content in the control. SharePoint: Rich Text: 

For the first time, I am using a Signature form control to capture a signature, which I then want to place on a generated PDF document.I’ve done it successfully, but with one problem: the signature image on the generated document is much too large.I was looking at this thread, where ​@cecilia-penha says, “If you need to control the size of the image in the template, use a picture and name it using the tag otherwise you can directly use the tag.”But I don’t understand what this means, “use a picture and name it using the tag.” Use a picture how? What exactly am I supposed to do?Any help is much appreciated.

Nintex automation on prem - How can you put trigger event on a message ?

Hello!I need to retrieve the direct link to the Assigned Task in Nintex Automation Cloud, with the goal of storing it in a database. This will allow us to display the task link on a Power BI dashboard for tracking purposes. If a task remains incomplete, we can easily identify the specific person and resend the task link as a reminder to complete the assignment.I would appreciate any help to achieve this.Thank you very much!

Hi, For a SharePoint online list where the manual K2 workflows are visible on the dropdown to start manually  at the item level, it is some way to eliminate a workflow that doesn’t exist anymore on K2?Thank you!

Hello Nintex Community,I’m configuring a Salesforce integration in our K2 environment and running into three main issues: “URL No Longer Exists” when hitting the OAuth callback endpoint OR  error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration Authentication timeout during the OAuth handshake Invalid endpoint errors on REST operations in my workflows So far I’ve: Matched the callback URL exactly in both Salesforce and K2 Enabled TLS 1.2 on the K2 server Confirmed outbound internet access and correct Consumer Key/Secret What additional K2 settings (e.g. web.config, firewall rules) or troubleshooting steps should I try to resolve these errors? Any best practices for validating the callback and REST endpoints would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

One of my customers is using a native application that runs on IE6. Since IE has been deprecated, my customer runs it with MS Edge Chromium under IE6 compatibility mode and can run it well as expected. Next, they want to use an RPA solution and one of the requirements is to interact with the application that runs under IE6 compatibility mode (the interaction is to do the web scraping).So, I tested it using Nintex RPA and found that the web scraping failed to detect the web page (no dotted rectangle appeared). I tested it with another page that is not related to IE6 compatibility mode and it works well (dotted rectangle appeared as described below).  Does anyone have an experience like this? Or could it be a limitation of features from Nintex RPA which could not support IE6 with compatibility mode? Need any input on this. 

We have an internal API that we use in our forms in Nintex Workflow, via a custom Xtension.  In the form, we create External Data variable and Data Lookup controls to allow the user to use the API. Users can type in an ID of a record into the form control and it does the lookup and returns a data set of results.  We are wanting it to handle the following scenarios: The Lookup is in progress The Lookup completed and returned no results The Lookup completed and has a partial data set of results (1 or more rows of results, but some of the columns are empty) The Lookup completed has a full data set of results.So far, we can only successfully implement #2 and #4.For #1, the problem is that we can’t get the rule to know the difference between “waiting for results” and “no results found.”For #3, the problem is that we can’t get the rule to know the difference between “some columns are empty” and “no results found.”I think the solution might involve something with using the Status Code returne

Hi have a Nintex workflow that features a ‘Call a web service’ step.. I’m trying to use the HTTP Patch request type to update an item via the API. I have tested through Postman and the Request Content of { “id”: “value”, “notification_email”: “value”} works successfully. When I run the workflow and log the output, I get a status of 200 (success), but the data is not updated. For context, I’m also using a HTTP Get against the same API earlier in the workflow, so Auth in the Request Headers isn’t the issue. Any ideas?

The product updates come thick and fast here so you might have missed smart response detection.  “What is that?” I hear you say.  If you are using email responses to your tasks (express approval) then people no longer have to type the exact phrase of the outcome because we’re using AI to interpret the intent of their reply.  This makes interacting with the system even more natural for the end user and caters for typos. As an example, if your outcomes are reject and approve.  Your end user could respond with “yep”, “approved” or even a mistyped “aprove” to mean approve.  It’s even smart enough to know that “absolutely” means approve and “absolutely not” means reject.  It even recognises some other languages so “oui” would be interpreted as approve.  Don’t try the classic Australian/Kiwi “yeah nah” though because it will reject that phrase and email the person back asking them to be slightly more specific 😂 So how do you turn it on?  Well first make sure you are allowed to use AI featur

Are you looking to streamline custom integrations in Nintex Workflow? The new AI Xtension Generator is a game-changing feature that lets you turn plain English into powerful workflow actions—no deep coding knowledge required. What Are Xtensions?Xtensions allow you to bring your own APIs into Nintex Workflow, enabling seamless interaction with external services. Traditionally, this meant crafting detailed OpenAPI (Swagger 2.0) definitions by hand—a task that required time, precision, and technical know-how.With the AI Xtension Generator, that complexity is drastically reduced. Introducing the AI Xtension GeneratorThis innovative tool leverages AI to generate OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger) JSON definitions from natural language descriptions. Just describe your API’s purpose, and the AI does the rest.Example Prompt: "Convert euros into US dollars based on the current exchange rate."With a simple prompt like this, the AI generates a fully structured OpenAPI definition, including endpoints and HTTP

If you are running into an issue where your REST based SmartObjects are only returning the HTTP response code and no data, or the data is blank, there is a simple fix. This issue is related to having a strange character or . (Period) character in the Service Instance System Name. This causes the K2 REST Broker to be confused and have a tough time returning values, only returning empty values and the HTTP Response code.    Resolution:  Simply recreate the REST Service Broker not using a strange character. Also recreate your smartobjects and you should see the SmartObjects returning all the correct data.    

Hi All,Currently, I am working on a project to migrate Nintex Workflow 2016 on SharePoint 2016 to K2 Five. Some existing workflows use the “Query User Profile” action to retrieve user information from the SharePoint User Profile.Is there a feature in K2 Five that provides similar functionality to the “Query User Profile” action in Nintex Workflow? Thanks,Rizki

We have a classic Nintex form in SharePoint 2016 on-premises with a label control that contains some static hyperlinks to documents related to the form which users may need to reference when filling out a new item form.  When creating a new form from the “+ new item” link at the top of the SharePoint list view, the form opens in a dialog and clicking on the hyperlinks in that control opens the documents in a new tab.  However, if the user opens the NewForm.aspx in its own tab so the form is not a floating dialog box, clicking on the same hyperlinks will not open the documents in a new tab and navigates them away from the form page, therefore any information the user entered in the form up to that point ends up being lost. Does anyone know if there is some way to configure the links/control settings so they will always open in a new tab regardless of the mode/method used to open the new item form in the user’s browser?This is an example of the HTML source from the text format of the lab
