The Nintex Document Generation action is amazing, to be able to create rich and dynamic documents from data in your workflow. What has come recently, is if there was a way to take an image file, that was attached to a List Item, and add that to the document also. Well………… (wait for it)……….. there […]
Parsing CSV files is not hard. But with Nintex Workflow Cloud, you also have to take into account where that CSV file will be. It could be as simple as something filling in a form, and passing the url into one of the fields. It could be a workflow you have that has an external […]
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, […]
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 […]

If it’s a document, it will copy the document to another document library. If it’s an item the workflow is running on, […]
For a while, I’ve been meaning to write some JavaScript that would allow me to kick off a Nintex Workflow from a Nintex Form. So I had some time this morning and put it together. Not only does it start a workflow, but it sits and waits for it to finish and updates a label […]
When you copy an item in SharePoint to another list, you lose the workflow history. The main reason, is that the workflows that ran on the original item, don’t exist in the destination list. Workflow history is linked to a specific workflow instance. The process described in this post, is about getting the workflow history from […]
An interesting scenario came by my desk, where someone wanted to take attachments from the current item, move them to a document library in SharePoint, and then delete those attachments, so that there weren’t duplicate files. A great scenario that Nintex Workflow is perfect for. This is scenario that I think many of you have […]
It sounds like this might be difficult, but as it turns out, it’s really not bad at all. What we are trying to do here, is get access to the urls of the documents that were attached to an Item or Task in SharePoint. In fact, building a Nintex Workflow User Defined Action (UDA) to do […]
