I was hoping that NAC had something equivalent to “try/catch” blocks in C++ or Java.I’ve reviewed the Nintex documentation and several Nintex Community articles, but I haven’t found any way to “catch” an exception.  For example, I’d like to be able to capture the error text and send an email.  Before the workflow dies.Q: Is there any way to accomplish this in Nintex Automation Cloud?

I’m working on an inspection checklist that allows the user to upload multiple photos so they can be renamed and inserted into a report document. My current approach is to use a repeating section with the inspection location (single-choice) and file upload (restricted to image). My assumption was that I could traverse the resulting collection, extract each row as a collection, then parse out the contents of that row. Unfortunately I can’t extract the row as a collection, just as a chunk of json code, which isn’t terribly useful.Is what I am trying to do even possible or should I go straight to plan B (which is to make each row a pair of stand-alone controls vs the repeating section)?Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have 2 custom controls which problems right now. Is it necessary to have .aspx format file for custom control? Do you guys know how to solve this issue? All the forms and views that are using these custom controls cannot be opened. This is custom control .dll files that are impacted:1) K2Field.ListSequenceDisplay.dll2) K2FormProgressSteps.dll  

We have a form that has 20+ questions where the answer can be ‘Ok’ or ‘Defect’ and a further 8 questions with ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answers. We then convert the form into a PDF and we would like to send the PDF document to a number of email addresses if 1 or more answers have ‘Defect’ and/or 1 or more have ‘no’ as the answer.  Branch by condition has a max 10 conditions, what is the simplest way to set this up to send on the above conditions but only send once?

How as an admin could we redirect a task that was originally assigned to one user, and re-assign it to a different user after it's been sent out?I have the option to complete the task myself, but that is not what I’m looking for.  

 Thank you for your assistance. This is Fukushima from Kaneka.I apologize for the inconvenience, but could you please provide guidance on the following?* Is there a planned End-of-Life (EOL) for Nintex Workflow for SharePoint Server 2016?* If I proceed with the Annual Software Assurance Renewal procedure this August,if support ends according to Nintex's support policy at EOL, is it possible that support will end by August 2027?

Not entirely sure why I’m getting status of NotFound for this Xtension. We were testing ability to export a workflow from one Nintex tenant to another using a workflow rather than manually doing it.  I have checked everything - region is fine. Other actions within this Xtension works just fine so what is the issue with this particular action that it cannot recognize a workflow ID? It’s published and in DEV. I republished in PROD and still returning NOTHING.  

We have our images on a local webserver, The images do not render on the form and the browser shows this message: It gives the image url and then says its blocked from origin 'https://static.nintex.io' has been blocked by CORS policy: Permission was denied for this request to access the `local` address space.We have tried adding https://static.nintex.io to the local network settings of the browser but it still blocking the images.How are people handling form images? Will Nintex provide an image repository?Any assistance would be appreciated.  

HiBecause of the upcoming deprecation of Exchange Online EWS I’m testing moving our environments over to using MSGraph.I upgraded to 5.9 successfully.  Ran the Exchange Online Migrate wizard successfully and email works.  However, it appears when I look at the Connection String editor for mail configuration that its still using EWS as it didn’t add the MSGraph settings.  I checked and the Azure Enterprise app was added successfully with the correct permissions.  The resource shows correctly in Management.  I tried following the article about manually configuring some of the connection string settings but email then failed.   Is the Migrate wizard supposed to take care of all of the settings or am I missing something?  I’ve restored the VM and retried 4 times so far without any luck. https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintexautomation/icg/5.8.1/Content/Configure/ExchangeOnline/ExchangeOnlineManual.htm

Hi Team,I enabled the Workflow and SmartObject API in the k2 management. K2 is hosted in the Windows 2025 VM and installed version is K2 Five 5.8 .

Hello K2 Community,I'm currently migrating workflows from K2 BlackPearl 4.7 to K2 Five 5.8 and need guidance on updating a specific workflow pattern in K2 Designer.Current Implementation (BlackPearl 4.7):Our existing workflow uses the following pattern:Invokes a Code Reference Event to execute custom logic Loads the returned data into an HTML-formatted variable Passes that HTML variable to an Email Event for deliveryMigration Challenge:I'm new to both K2 BlackPearl and K2 Five, and I'm not sure how to replicate this pattern in K2 Five 5.8's Designer. Specifically:What's the recommended approach for Code Reference Events in K2 Five? Are there any breaking changes or differences in how data is handled between the two versions? What's the best practice for building dynamic HTML content in K2 Five before sending emails?I've attached the relevant workflow snippets from our BlackPearl implementation for reference.Thank you for any guidance!  

I have a workflow that allows a customer (external of the tenant) to request a credit application in order to open a credit account with my company. When the customer fills the request, they are required to sign using the “Signature” field in the form. However, we would like the signature to be certified.Can the customer’s signature be certified — for example, through a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) generated using a secure device (such as a cryptographic key, smart card, token, or qualified cloud-based solution)?Are any of these solutions can help me and how: Nintex eSign, DocuSign, AdobeSign ???

I am trying to update manage metadata field using update list item, but I couldn’t get it to work. As you see on the attached screenshot, I assign the guid label and guid on variable and assign the variable to the metadata field but couldn’t get it to work. Could you please give me some advice?

PROBLEM: I’m designing a workflow where I need to 1) send a notification, 2) send a second notification if there’s no response after three business days, 3) send a third notification after another three days, and 4) “terminate” if still no response after the 3 notifications/9 business days.QUESTION: How can I efficiently implement - and use - a “date table” that will account for “weekends” and “holidays”?

Hi there, Is it possible to have a link to the “create a process” page in Process Manager? We are creating a Process Manager landing page in our Sharepoint and want to have a quick link button to create a process. Thanks

Hi,We are currently exploring options to secure our internal APIs, which are consumed through SmartObjects.Our objective is to ensure that we can reliably identify the user making a request following authentication, while maintaining a secure approach throughout.As part of a proof of concept, we have successfully configured service instances using PKCE, Microsoft Online, and Client Credentials resource types, with SmartObject methods connected to one of our API endpoints.The PKCE flow appears to be the most suitable option for interactive form-based scenarios. However, we encountered some challenges when testing workflow scenarios. Since K2 workflows execute under the K2 service account, we enabled the following option to allow the SmartObject to function within workflow steps:Cache OAuth token for service account for using SmartObjects in workflow steps What we observed is that the cached OAuth token associated with the service account appeared to correspond to the user who last refre

I am using Nintex Workflow online and configuring a Start form. I am trying to set the default value of a Choice - Multiple control on the Start form with the choices selected in a multi select column from an existing item in a SharePoint online list item.Is this possible?

Hi,I am creating a process. I move happily along to a decision. I then reach a decision point. If the ‘product’ is a tier 4 there are two extra steps so I go off into another group, perfect.I then want to bring the group back in as a conditional, I can not place it after a decision, will not save. So has to go after the next step, so on the map it does not look like you need to follow the next process.screen shot of what it looks like at the momentWe have lots of examples like this. Anyone have any ideas to make this work at group level?Thanks in advanceMark

Is there a way to easily generate a JSON output from the form submitted? I am new in that specific space and would love an action or something that could easily summarise the form and captured information and generate a usable JSON. I need something that does that and appends the JSON file to something like an email action. I also want to try and avoid having to use SPO etc to store the file and then retrieve the file. SmartIQ and other such forms and workflow engines can do that natively, however Nintex does not appear to have something that I would consider a core easy win.Thanks.
