Nintex Apps empowers organizations to build custom applications that streamline processes and enhance the end-user experience. But what if you’re happy with the systems your users already work in, don’t want to spend a ton of time building a pixel perfect application—yet still need to generate polished documents in real time?That’s where Nintex Apps + Nintex DocGen come together. By embedding a Nintex App directly into your system of record, users don’t have to jump through hoops—searching for a website, logging in separately, and navigating multiple screens—just to generate a document. Instead, they stay in the flow of work.Behind the scenes, Nintex Apps can pull data not only from your system of record but also from other connected systems. Nintex DocGen then merges that data into professional, dynamic documents—whether contracts, proposals, reports, or any other business-critical file.The result: a seamless experience for end users, and powerful, flexible document generation for you

We have a few on premises SQL Servers that are currently used by Nintex Workflow.  They are due for a upgrades and/or migration to new servers (Windows OS upgrades, possibly SQL Server version upgrades).  What would be the impact on the Nintex connections? When I look at the connection definition, it appears that I can edit the connection and set a new database host name, if that name changes at all.  Could it be that simple?  Or is there anything else to re-configure?

Hey Nintex Community!I've been playing around with the js-insert item in Nintex Forms, and, is it a game-changer. It's like a secret weapon for making forms do exactly what you want, far beyond the standard stuff.I've been using it for a few things and would love to hear what creative solutions you all have come up with. Here are a few of my go-to moves to kick things off: Character Counters: I've added a simple counter to a text box so people can see how many characters they've typed. It's super handy when there's a character limit. //Char count$("#yourTexBoxID").keyup(function() {      var charCount = $(this).val().length;      $("#YourTexCounterID").val(charCount);}); Color-Coded Countdowns: This is a step up from the counter. I've set it up so the text box not only counts down the remaining characters but also changes color as you get close to the limit. For example, it might turn green when you have more than 100 characters left and then switch to red when you're down to the last

When I print a set of documents from a DocGen Queue list view using the Download 1 PDF button, what is the order that documents appear in the resulting file? And is it changeable? It seems like it is the record id, but that is not particularly meaningful other than roughly corresponding to the order the documents were created.For context, I need to collate some documents with a set of documents produced by another system, and I am hoping to get them in the same order, by, say, Account Id (in this case Loop__Object_Id__c). 

Hello, One of our customers had a new starter whose entry into the AD system etc apparently went a little odd at first. Once consequence seems to be that when we call into K2 via the API for his tasks to be completed etc they processes aren't being progressed. The error we see in the logs is (note I have removed our security label, his username and company domain for security purposes): "680082778","2022-09-14 14:40:14","Error","General","1","GeneralErrorMessage","K2Worker.Action","1 26033 Worklist item 1819403_23 Not Open for {SecurityLabel}:{username}@{domain} at 10.15.150.85:57822   at SourceCode.Logging.Logger.ThrowLogMessage(MessageObject LogMessageObj)   at K2Worker.ActionInternal(ClientConnection con, Int32 version, ClientEventActionContext ctxt, WorklistItem* wi, ServerItem si, User forusr, String groups, String shareduser)  at K2Worker.Action(Object ocon, ArchiveX ar)","","","basascprdappv02:C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlHost ServerBin","680082778","1e02f178483f41be96640cb

Hi,I am using K25.7, I recently encountered an issue with email events containing attachments in our workflow.The support team initially recommended applying Fix Pack 13, which resolved the attachment issue.However, we are now facing workflow failures where the activity recipients are null, specifically for reference items within a loop. This started after updating the SmartObject method, and although the data exists in the database, it is not being picked up.I am here attaching screen shot for your understanding.In Test1 Email, emails were received with correct values. In Update Status, updating only status field. in TestPostUpdate email , FQN is getting blank values but there are values in database table.If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has a recommended solution, please advise. Best Regards,Thriveni

Hi there, Our business is working on migrating forms from the classic 365 forms to the new responsive forms on Nintex Cloud and would like to know if we can either hide this entire ribbon or selected options from this ribbon that appears at the top of responsive forms:  Our set up does not allow staff to edit forms after submission, and our data retention does not permit deletion either, so these two buttons need to go.  Interestingly, there’s an option to hide the print button in the form settings, but I guess edit and delete didn’t make the cut to receive their own buttons:  Any advice is much appreciated!

Hello, is there any update on bulk archiving? I noticed questions from two years ago, so I'm hoping we might have a solution soon to help me with a major cleanup of our processes. Thank you!

Hello, can you help me please? Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown.<br/>The AAD:xxxx@xxx.mx could not be found.  

Hello!I would like to request your support in setting up a connection from Nintex to send or receive information from Power Automate. Honestly, I don’t have much experience in this area and I’m feeling a bit lost when going through the documentation.I would really appreciate it if someone could provide me with a guide or step-by-step instructions on how this should be done. I’ve been considering using "Call a web service – Wait for a callback" since I need to receive some information back, but I’m unsure about how to properly configure and confirm this process.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Hello,I get the following error The specified value is unknown. [Error Code: TypeCasting.UnknownCasting] when calling a xtension which should return an ics file.The xtension is a .net core api and nintex does recognize the specified result type as file.The responses part of the definitions looks like this:"responses": {               "200": {                  "description": "OK",                  "schema": {                     "type": "object",                     "properties": {                        "file": {                           "type": "string",                           "format": "byte"                        }                     }                  }               }            }I tried it according to OpenAPI Specification quick reference and Download base64 files but they differ on the properties part “file” <> “content”. But both ways dont work.But when calling the xtension i get this error.Is there anything, that I am missing?Thank you in advance!Niklas

On one of my Nintex forms I want users to enter a series of (variable number) of event dates and other data related to those events in a repeated section. I would like to have users enter the rows in chronological order on the date field, from earliest date to the latest date. I know that normally you can just compare dates like they’re numbers and dates further in the future are treated as greater than dates less far in the future or in the past, but I’m having trouble getting the rule right so that it compares to the control element on the previous row (if present).Like I want date(row N) > date(row N-1) for N>1This is for Sharepoint on Prem 2019.I have tried forcing it on the last row with a validation rule:and(equals(currentRowNumber(dateField),rows(dateField)),lessThan((dateField),max(dateField)))then invalidate, but it doesn’t seem to work, the rule inside only takes the field on the current row, it doesn’t look at other rows. I have also looked at sorting it in workflow, b

I have a data table set up with two columns:Column 1: Name Column 2: Email AddressThe intent is for the user to select a name in the start form, which auto-populates the email in another action within the same form. The selected information can then be used in multiple forms throughout the workflow.  However, I am only able to make the employee email visible with a label action.  I am unable to use the information within the label action in subsequent forms within the workflow.  Can the selected table information be used as a variable within a text-short action?Is there a way to use the table information selected in a start form in multiple forms within a workflow?See the example workflow below, which hopefully explains my situation. https://deepwater-376274.workflowcloud.com/forms/710c5e97-cbcc-4777-9837-3d06bbb0498a

I am attempting to set a form variable using JavaScript. When the form loads there is an error in the developer tools console log that one of the variables is not defined.  NWF$(document).ready(function () { NWF$('#' + varRequestorManager).click(function () { NWF.FormFiller.SetValue("MyRequestorFormVariable","New Value"); var val = NWF.FormFiller.GetValue("MyRequestorFormVariable"); console.log("Form Variable Updated" + val); });}); 

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%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data - BackUp Restart Chrom

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 with this

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.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.
