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 […]
SharePoint 2013 (Enterprise edition) comes with Excel Services. One of the lesser known pieces of functionality, is the Excel Services web service. More information on it can be found here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms494732(v=office.14).aspx Since this is an ASMX web service, it can be called from Nintex Workflow using the Call Web Service action. This web service […]
Some of you may have noticed that SharePoint doesn’t give you the option to start workflows on Surveys. The workaround is to have a scheduled workflow that periodically checks for new survey responses. Designing that into a Nintex Workflow is actually quite simple… as with most things with Nintex Workflow. Initial Requirements Since the plan […]
Ever wanted to have a tab-like interface on your Nintex Form? With some new functionality that was added to Nintex Forms, we can now simulate a tab control on our form.

A lot of this information is described in the video attached to this post, so I won’t go through every single bit of it. Since I’ve been discussing the Exchange Out of Office functionality recently, I thought I needed to implemend a Nintex Workflow User Defined Action that would talk to Exchange and pull out […]
I want to try to get a pure Javascript way of doing it. Dan mentions at the bottom of his post that he could extend it to pull some information from a User Profile, which is one of the things I wanted to mess around with. I can’t help myself :). My development brain … […]
In a discussion, I found that copying a SharePoint Calendar event between calendars in SharePoint using a workflow would fail. For some reason, it didn’t think the destination calendar had the same fields. Support for that will be coming in a future release of Nintex Workflow. But for now, we can take the long way. […]
Those of you who haven’t already seen Nintex Forms, go and take a look here: Nintex Forms. One of my favorite features of Nintex Forms, is the ability to simply click on the Nintex Forms button in my list and have it generate a form for me. It interrogates the list, maybe even the content […]
