Outsourcing texts (email texts, approval texts, etc.)

[mai-kel]

Hi all,

I want to outsource most of the texts I have in my workflow and therefor build a table containing all texts. These texts consist of fixed stringparts and variable once.

So this is one example entry within my "text table".

To get this running I need two workflow actions:

1. Looking up the right text within my "text table"

2. Parsing the text to replace the variablenames with variablecontent.

Unfortunately this is only working for the first part, not for the second:

WHY????? 😞 😞 😞

Cheers

I think the issue is that the reference is not recognised outside of a task notification.

What if you put semi-colon to seperate?

Can you then get the collection and using for loop build the string ?

...I think the problem is that I am putting the strings together before the flexi task starts.

And in that moment there is simply no "Common:ApprovalURL". I am pretty sure that AFTER the flexi task Nintex is able to dissolve...

BTW: I helped myself putting all the strings together that I need and used the link auto-generated within the flexi task - not as pretty as I would like it to have, but acceptable:
