This interesting question came up on the Nintex Community – Making the workflow wait for one of 4 fields to change. Since the Wait for Item Update action in Nintex Workflow only supports one condition, how do build logic into our workflow that can check multiple conditions? To get around the limitation of the Wait […]
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 […]
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, […]
Lately, I’ve had conversation with a number of people around getting running workflows to communicate to each other. Send data back and forth. Send some information from one workflow to another, to get it to do some work. You can do this with the Store Data and Retrieve Data actions in Nintex Workflow for SharePoint […]
For a while, I’ve been meaning to write some JavaScript that would allow me to kick off a Nintex Workflow from a Nintex Form. So I had some time this morning and put it together. Not only does it start a workflow, but it sits and waits for it to finish and updates a label […]
