This is going to be another one of those Nintex related posts where people will be asking me – “Isn’t it easier to just create a custom Inline Function with a little C# code???”. I’ve been asked atleast 5 times over the last year, if it’s possible to get the name of the document set that […]
For those that haven’t used SharePoint Document Sets before, here’s a good introduction to it : Introduction to Document Sets In Nintex Workflow, to query for documents in a document set, you use a Query List action. I’ve found the easiest way to do this, is to add a Query List action to your workflow, configure […]

Reusablility is one of the key features of Nintex Workflow and what makes it stand out. When it comes to building workflows, the aim is to automate some business logic so that employees spend more time on more important business tasks.

As I work through a process of automating my blog announcements using Nintex Workflow, I’ve hit a few snags. First was the previous post – Nintex Workflow URL Encoding User Defined Action. I’ll be sharing my findings in automating this process through some posts on here, and hopefully breaking it up into User Defined Actions […]
After many moons, I finally decided to sit down and automate some work that I regulary did manually. One of the steps required a url to be encoded so I could post it to another site. There’s no action in Nintex Workflow to encode a url this way, so the option was to either develop […]
A new addition to the PowerShell script for Nintex Workflow that I’ve been working on, so that you can get a report of the total number of actions in a workflow and also how many times each type of action is used. The usage is quite simple: .\AllWorkflows.ps1 -nwoperation FindActionsInWorkflow -nwlogin domain\username -nwpassword password -nwworkflow “workflowname” […]

In the past, I’ve been asked for the best way to have an approval form where some more information will be required from the approver. Rather than InfoPath (which I’ve generally had headaches with) or developing a custom form in C# to extend the Flexi Task action form, I’ve nudged people towards using the Request […]
