Ok, so people have been asking for this, so I decided to put it together. But, having said that, I’m doing this while on vacation, so as a result… I want you all to go and donate to some good charity. If it’s Autism related, even better!! 1 in 68 kids in the US. That’s […]
Parsing collections is often used in Nintex Workflows. I showed it here in an old blog post – Iterate through Related Collections. But what came up recently, was reverse parsing collections. That was an interesting challenge, since what I didn’t want to do, is use a Loop action. Why? Because a Loop is affected by Safe […]
This comes up fairly regularly, so it was a good time to post about this. Especially after an exciting and inspiring Nintex InspireX User Conference. I’m talking about the ability for a workflow to query a SharePoint calendar, and get recurring events. There was a lot of searching online to find a way to create […]
I’m going to do a quick post today, since it’s time to head home from the awesome Nintex InspireX event in Las Vegas. I had the question of replacing some text in all the values in a Collection. Imagine having a collection with values like: a123 b234 x456 and you want to remove all the […]
Although figuring out the file type can be as simple as checking the content type, sometimes that doesn’t give us the data we need. In this case, any document can be uploaded to a document library in SharePoint and I have a need to figure out the file type. The easiest way I can think […]
Today, I had a request on how to have links to documents in a Nintex Form (O365), but specifically in a Task form that was created from Nintex Workflow for Office 365. It’s an interesting question, since at this stage, we don’t have access to Nintex Workflow variables in the Nintex Form. I did figure […]
In Nintex Workflow, if you simply use the Created By or Modified By properties of a SharePoint List Item / Document, you will most likely get a domain\login format. If this value is something you want to use in an email, notification, document etc, then a domain\login format is not ideal. Instead, you’re probably more […]
Looking at talking to a Geographic Information System from an automated business process? Well, Nintex Workflow will let you talk to most any system that has a web API. A great example of that, is Esri ArcGIS. As long as you have applied for a developer account, you’ll be provided with a Client ID and […]
Recently, I was asked whether Nintex Workflow can talk to Insightly. Insightly is Googles CRM product. So as it’s the end of the year (2015) and I want to hit 50 User Defined Actions on this site, I decided to try to talk to Insightly. I created the UDAs that you can reuse in your […]
You’ll see in the video below, that I’ve found the Copy to SharePoint action very powerful, but the down side, is that it only runs on the current item the workflow is running on. If it’s a document, it will copy the document to another document library. If it’s an item the workflow is running on, […]
