Nintex – Iterating through Files in Box and Parsing Date Metadata

This video described how I went about putting together a workflow in Nintex Workflow Cloud, to find all the files in a Box folder, iterate through them, and extract a particular piece of Custom Metadata. In the example, it’s about pulling a date from that metadata.

I had to do something special to then convert that into a Date variable. After the video, there is the example of the Regular Expression that was used, and also the workflow key, which will allow you to import this workflow into your Nintex Workflow Cloud environment.

Regular Expression : [\d]+/[\d]+/[\d]+

Workflow Key : 84c01ace344a4196b2da9cc1987d607b
