Creating a Nintex Workflow Cloud Xtension using a hosted C# WCF REST solution

After creating Azure Functions in Javascript and then in C# and exposing them to Nintex Workflow Cloud via the Xtensions option, I wanted to look into building an Xtension and hosting it on my own server.  The video above goes through all the bits and pieces that make up the WCF REST service that I build, and also how to add it to Nintex Workflow Cloud.

The really awesome part, is that it’s super easy to do this.

Below, you’ll find a download (zip) to the Source Code and also a download (zip) of the Open API json file, that is the Xtension file for Nintex Workflow Cloud.  The thought process behind this, is to see how I can easily create a REST service, host it on my own server and add the functions to Nintex Workflow Cloud as custom actions.  It turned out to be quite easy.  Watch the video above and download the actions below.  Feel free to comment if you have an questions or thoughts on this topic.

FYI – you can download the NWC Xtensions Open API file below, add the Xtension to your tenant and you’ll have my 6 actions to do Sin, Cos and Tan Trigonometry functions.
