This is the first post, post Nintex InspireX. I was actually quite surprised at how awesome the first InspireX event was last year. But this one was so much better. The only thing I would do to make it better, is make it an extra day. I felt like I had no time to breathe, […]
Importing and Exporting was recently made available in Nintex Workflow Cloud. It’s pretty awesome, and makes it really easy to share workflows, since you deal with workflow keys and not files anymore. I’m a huge fan of this. Take a look at how it’s done :
The name of “Utility Workflow” is not a Nintex term. It’s something I like to use when building a child workflow that was built specifically to do some work that is reusable. In the case of Nintex Workflow Cloud, there’s a cool way to do this by building a workflow that is configured with an External […]
Copying attachments from a List Item to a Document Library in Office 365 is not straightforward, until you actually get it working. Then it totally makes sense. I went through a bunch of blog posts and suggestions from people, and eventually, came across REST calls that people are making. Now I’m not a guru with […]
I’m going to keep this one short. No screenshots.. Everything is explained in the video. The aim of this scenario, is that you have a workflow that can fail, but you have no way of preventing that. Certain actions don’t have Error Handling in them, so you need to do something about it. This process […]
Over a year ago, I had a need to have a workflow update/append text to a Multiple Lines of Text field. I figured out one way to do it, based on having a MLoT field that was set to Enhanced rich text. Then I completely forgot to blog about it. This came up again in […]
A Brazilian friend of mine reached out to me, where she had a DateTime field on a list that was configured to only be a Date. But when trying to compare the current date in the workflow to the value in the field, it would never match. That makes sense, because Nintex treats the current […]
This interesting question came up on the Nintex Community – Making the workflow wait for one of 4 fields to change. Since the Wait for Item Update action in Nintex Workflow only supports one condition, how do build logic into our workflow that can check multiple conditions? To get around the limitation of the Wait […]
Ok, so people have been asking for this, so I decided to put it together. But, having said that, I’m doing this while on vacation, so as a result… I want you all to go and donate to some good charity. If it’s Autism related, even better!! 1 in 68 kids in the US. That’s […]
Parsing collections is often used in Nintex Workflows. I showed it here in an old blog post – Iterate through Related Collections. But what came up recently, was reverse parsing collections. That was an interesting challenge, since what I didn’t want to do, is use a Loop action. Why? Because a Loop is affected by Safe […]
