Run .NET Plugin Method

Run a plugin that was developed specifically to extend Nintex RPA capabilities.

There are two plugin types:

  1. Embedded: a wizard is downloaded to the client with the .net plugin dll is embedded within it

  2. Local: The .NET plugin is deployed to all relevant machines by IT. (The Runtime folder is the folder where IT has placed it)

    3. The run time folder is the absolute path on a local drive where IT has placed the dll on the machine. Don't use relative paths to define the runtime folder.

    For additional information see the Nintex Plugin Development section of the Nintex Studio User Guide.
