Dynamic Variable Names

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

Web scraping under IE6 compatibility mode

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.

RPA Email Issue

My question has two parts. I’ve been working on an issue with the Send Email function since March of 2024. Tech support has me in an endless loop of try this and send the logs. It works if I run the Wizard through the Studio but only when using a copy of the Studio folder on the local Desktop not the regular installation location of the Studio. But it does not work if I run the same Wizard with the Robot using a trigger. (The Wizard runs but the emails are not received.) Any ideas what could be causing this? This is the error in the log:          {"@t":"2025-02-10T17:39:33.1116710Z","@mt":"The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.","@l":"Error","EnvironmentUserName":"MYCOMPANY\\nintex","msg":"The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.","add":{},"exc":{"Message":"The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.","Data":[],"InnerException":null,"TargetSite":"Int32 ReadCfwsAndThrowIfIncomplete(System.String,

Attention: Nintex RPA v21.10.6 and below users

If you are using Nintex RPA version 21.10.6 and below and you use the Kryon Connector Chrome extension for browser-based commands, the following may apply to you.    Google began phasing out the Manifest V2 extensions platform in June 2024, in favor of the Manifest V3 platform with improved security, privacy, performance and trustworthiness of the extension ecosystem as a whole.  However, enterprises using the Extension Manifest V2 Availability policy were exempt from any browser changes until June 2025.  Currently there are three versions of the Connector extensions for RPA in Chrome.  1) Manifest V3 based Nintex Connector and Nintex Web Connector extensions - compatible with Nintex RPA v21.10.7 and above  2) Manifest V2 based Kryon Connector extension - compatible with Nintex RPA v21.10.6 and below   On July 1, 2025, if you are using Nintex RPA version 21.10.6 and below and you use the Kryon Connector Chrome extension, you may realize operations interruptions.    Nintex would like to

Failed to import DWIZ file to another Nintex RPA server with the same version

Hi,I have two Nintex RPA development environments with the same versions, which are 24.4.2.5. I have created some RPA use cases in the first environment and want it to be replicated in the second environment. Then I exported and imported to the second environment using dwiz files. When I tried to import one use case, an error occurred with the following message, “Unsupported amount (2) of imported libraries!”.I have checked for those two environments and all have the same configurations including with its applications defined in the Nintex Admin.Has anyone had an experience like this?In the meantime, whenever I want to replicate the flow, I must use the import through the local wizard (save as a lwiz file).Thanks before for any input.

Writing to the same Excel file from multiple machines - read only issue

I am trying to find a way for several bots to work from the same shared Excel file.  Assume there is a large list of data (Account Numbers) in one column and another column beside it called “RPA Status”.  When one bot starts to work an account, it looks at the Excel file to find the first Account Number with an empty RPA Status field.  It then copies this Account Number and writes “In Process” to the RPA Status field so that another bot will not pick up this Account Number.  It writes back “Complete” once it has completed whatever process it is doing.  Ideally, I’d like to have multiple machines pulling in and writing back to this Excel file. The issue is that if I try running another bot pulling from the same file, the Excel is in “Read Only” status until the other workflow is completely finished.  Is there a way to write to an Excel file and immediately close out the connection so that another bot can write to it?  I know SQL is an option, but that raises several other issues.

RPA -Copy data from Excel command question

I have a simple wizard where I need to copy four columns from excel and paste the values in fields of a web base application.My commands include:**Get worksheet (Excel worksheet actions DAC); Copy from Excel (range of cells into a variable); Get Array Data (using column delimiter, I am separating each column value into a variable, to later ‘input text’ in the application)My problem is when the command for Get Array Data pulls in the last column it also brings in the row delimiter and the value of the first column.    The command reads like this:  From the array stored in (my variable created from the Copy from Excel) Where items are delimited by $column delimiter$ Get the value of item #4 (since it is column 4).  My row delimiter is ***.  The value that is pulled in for the last column and stored in the variable reads something like this:  123456***123456789.  It pulls in the data in the last column AND the data in the first column of the next row.Any help you have to offer with this w

Split command - paste value twice

I am pulling in several fields from excel and splitting the columns out to fields on a webpage.  There is one of those split values that need to be pasted more than once - as in generating a password.  What options do I have to get that value in two boxes.  It will paste in the first cell, tab to the next cell but nothing happens.  Eventually the wizard will move past that point.

RPA - past new value to excel

I am working on a wizard that copies data from excel to a website, resulting in the return of a new account number that I need to paste back to the same excel document.  Is that possible?  When completed, I would have all the original excel data used to create the account and the column following that data would be the new account number.

Where to View Previous Release Notes

I suspect we’re suffering from the issue described in this post by @MParris. The fix for this issue is found in version v23.11.2.1, but I’m only able to find the release notes for v23.11.2.5, which don’t seem to mention anything related to the described issue. (https://public.kryon.io/RPA-Versions/23.11/23.11_Latest/23.11.2/23.11.2%20Release%20Notes.txt) Can anyone point me in the right direction to find release notes for previous versions of the program, like v23.11.2.1?  I’m hoping it’s not that we have to make a support case.  Thank you!

RPA - copy 16 digit number

Using RPA, I am trying to capture a 16 digit number from a program and paste it to excel.  Either it will not copy it at all or it will copy it and change the last digit to 0.   I have tried using the commands ‘get html object text’ and ‘get html object value’.  Am I using the wrong command?

RPA - close browser window

I have a wizard that uses the chrome browser.  When I have finished all the tasks within, the wizard signs out of the application and needs to close the browser window.  How can I do that, please?  It could be in the documentation but I don’t know what to look for.  The windows ALT + F4 is what I am using now but I don’t know how to hold the ALT while the F4 is entered.  I am sure it is something simple but I am still new at this :)

RPA - last processing date

A vendor sends us files daily, Monday through Friday, for processing.  We have an automation that processes the file and runs it through our systems.  Until it is fully implemented we have  to manually change the ‘current date’ in that automation to the last processing date.  Is there a way to have the system set the date to the last processing date when the file processed on Monday should use Friday’s date,  and Tuesday through Friday’s files will have the previous date (unless there is a holiday)?
