This video described how I went about putting together a workflow in Nintex Workflow Cloud, to find all the files in a Box folder, iterate through them, and extract a particular piece of Custom Metadata. In the example, it’s about pulling a date from that metadata. I had to do something special to then convert […]
Parsing CSV files is not hard. But with Nintex Workflow Cloud, you also have to take into account where that CSV file will be. It could be as simple as something filling in a form, and passing the url into one of the fields. It could be a workflow you have that has an external […]
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 […]
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 […]
Between June 1st-3rd 2015, DocuSign is running their Momentum conference in London. One of my colleagues, Sean Fiene (a fellow Technical Evangelist) got to attend the San Francisco version of that conference a few months ago. This time around, Nintex is a Gold Spnsor, along with a company named Smartsheet. Now I had never heard of Smartsheet, […]
Another interesting question today, on how to convert a Nintex Form into any type of document. I thought the easiest would be to go to HTML. Rather than building the entire HTML in the Nintex Workflow, I decided to create a template HTML file. Store that in a document library and use that as my […]
There is a common property in Nintex Workflow called Current Time. This is actually something inherited from SharePoint. There are also two other item properties to do with time, Created and Modified. All of these properties only give you the hours and minutes for the time, not the number of seconds. Sometimes, the seconds are […]
This weeks challenge I set myself, was to create a reusable way of converting a SharePoint list of items into a CSV format. I want to make it reusable, because this is something I’ve talked about with a bunch of people and everyone will have different list structure. Redesigning a workflow for each list makes […]
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 […]
