I’m an old school developer, so I’ll admit, I do like XML. Even though JSON is the flavor of the day these days. A little while ago, Nintex released XML actions for Nintex Workflow Cloud. The first thing that came to mind, is a great way to store more complex data inside a workflow instance. […]
I recently had a chat with someone who wanted to use a PadRight type function. in Nintex Workflow Cloud. Since we don’t have that function in NWC, I decided to build it myself, as a Component Workflow. The reason I chose to do this in a workflow, is that it’s a no-code solution. It means […]
Either you have participated in a Shadowing program as you start a new role, implemented that type of program, or at least heard of such a thing.

Where as […]

With the XTensions framework, it’s really exciting to be able to add connectors and actions to my Nintex Workflow Cloud tenant. I decided, since I use xe.com for currency conversion, to take a look at their API. […]
California based company, ServiceNow has had some exciting growth over the years. Recently, Nintex customers reached out and requested that they be able to build workflows that can communicate to ServiceNow, from the Nintex platform. A couple of weeks ago, the request was answered, as Nintex released our ServiceNow connector. Coming from a tech background, […]
I recently had a need to take a collection of data in a Nintex Workflow Cloud workflow and create an item in a SharePoint Online list, setting a choice field from my collection. The structure that SPO needs it item1;#item2;#item3 etc. So I built that logic out. The workflow is below, but I also separate […]
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.
