I wanted to take a stab at a different type of post today. Most of my posts are around how to solve specific problems or how to achieve a particular piece of workflow logic in a reusable fashion. Todays post actually takes a number of my previous posts and puts them together, showing you how […]
Part 1 of this series was about using Action Sets in Nintex Workflow, and it focused on making your workflows look nicer, so that it’s easier to navigate the workflow and also how you can put actions into an Action Set and then save them as Snippet for later reuse. Part 2 is about how […]

Often, you may have a single Assign a ToDo Task action, assigning tasks to several people. For this example, lets say it’s 3 people. This action […]

Depending on the number of items, you could potentially get a timeout on the workflow that will process each one. The best practice maybe […]
On a recent project I worked on, I came up with a few reusable pieces of Workflow logic that I built into User Defined Actions. The original task was to design workflows whose important components were build around bank interest rates, savings and loans. Savings Giving a starting amount, an annual interest rate and a […]
Just because the Action Set action doesn’t actually do anything at runtime, I really don’t think Workflow Designers should discriminate against it. It really didn’t do anything to deserve this. 🙂 I strongly believe that is one of the most useful actions, and also the most under-utilized. I have seen a variety of complex, large […]
