Workflow action upgrade details
Jump to
When a workflow is upgraded, all actions in Nintex Workflow for SharePoint On-Premises are mapped to an equivalent action in Nintex Workflow where an equivalent action is available. Where a directly equivalent action does not exist in Nintex Workflow with similar configuration settings, one of the following scenarios will apply:
-
A single action may be mapped to multiple actions to achieve the same outcome.
-
Actions that have an equivalent in Nintex Workflow with differences in configuration settings or slight differences in functionality will be mapped to the equivalent action in Nintex Workflow, however, further review of the configuration or reconfiguration of the action will be required.
-
Actions that do not exist or do not have an equivalent action in Nintex Workflow will be replaced with a placeholder action to ensure the workflow design is retained.
If a placeholder is added to your migrated workflow where an equivalent action does not exist, try one of the following recommendations to update your workflow:
-
Check if the action has a recommended alternative in the table below (see the upgrade details column).
-
Replicate the action using a custom connector built on the Nintex Xtensions framework. For more information, see the Nintex Xtensions help documentation.
-
Browse the Solution Accelerator Gallery for templates you can use to build a connector.
-
Submit a request to make the action available in Nintex Workflow via User Voice. User Voice is a platform that you can use to submit feedback and requests for all Nintex products.

Workflow details for fields and functionality
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Advanced list lookup | See Advanced list lookup upgrade. |
| CAML queries | The CAML query editor is not available in Nintex Workflow, however, simple queries will be migrated. |
| Common settings | Requires review of the migrated configuration. The Disable setting (causing an action to be disabled when the workflow is executed) is supported in Nintex Workflow. If a Message to log on completion was configured in Nintex Workflow for SharePoint On-Premises, it will not be migrated to Nintex Workflow. Instead, after migrating your workflow, insert a Log to instance details action. The Expected duration setting is not supported in Nintex Workflow and will not be migrated. The Hide from workflow status setting is not supported in Nintex Workflow and will not be migrated. The Run as workflow owner setting is not supported in Nintex Workflow and will not be migrated. |
| Condition list | Two conditions are not available in Nintex Workflow: Person is a valid SharePoint user, and the file size in a specific range. |
| Condition references | User profiles and workflow constants are not available in Nintex Workflow. |
| Conditional start | Requires review of the migrated configuration. Conditional starts are migrated to Nintex Workflow start events, but there are some differences in functionality, and some start conditions which were not available in Nintex Workflow for SharePoint On-Premises are available in Nintex Workflow. Mixed and/or conditions are not supported in Nintex Workflow. Conditions based on the previous values of fields and conditions using the compare to fields functionality are not supported. If a Nintex Workflow for SharePoint On-Premises workflow has both Start when created and Start when modified enabled, in addition to a When modified start condition set, you will need to configure your start conditions for new list items in Nintex Workflow. |
| Connection mapping | When a SharePoint action needs credentials to execute, Nintex Workflow will determine which connection to default to by querying for all SharePoint connections, using the site URL to extract the tenant URL, checking the authentication method for the action type,
and getting the first connection based on the tenant URL and authentication method. If no connections are found with this method, no connection is selected as the default. Note that connections must be created in Nintex Workflow prior to upgrading. |
| Workflow instance variables - Start date, start time | This feature is not available in Nintex Workflow. |
| Error handling | This feature is not available in Nintex Workflow. |

| Labels | Action title labels will be migrated from Nintex Workflow for SharePoint On-Premises. All other label parameters (left text, right text, bottom text, user-defined notes) are not supported in Nintex Workflow and will not migrate with the action. |
| Language support | This feature is not available in Nintex Workflow. |
| Lazy approval | Requires review of the migrated configuration. Lazy approval is replaced in Nintex Workflow by the use of Express approval in task configurations. The ability to edit or add to the list of acceptable express approval terms is not supported in Nintex Workflow. The terms used are dictated by the outcomes defined in the configuration of the action. |
| Scheduled workflows | Scheduled workflows are migrated if they have only a single schedule configured and the schedule end is indefinite. If a workflow is set to be used as both a scheduled and component workflow, the workflow is upgraded using the scheduled start event only. The following features are not included because they are currently not available in Nintex Workflow: Multiple schedules and workdays only. |
| Site workflows | Site workflows will be migrated to Nintex Workflow as scheduled workflows. |
| Start event variables - Approver comments, site collection ID, web URL, file size | This feature is not available in Nintex Workflow. |
| Turn on/off document generation | This feature is not available in Nintex Workflow. |
| User defined actions (UDAs) |
UDAs are upgraded as component workflows in Nintex Workflow, and UDA actions within a workflow are replaced with the Call a workflow action. UDAs upgraded as component workflows do not appear in the Upgrade Center. If a workflow being upgraded has calls to a UDA and the UDA exists, the UDA is upgraded first. If multiple workflows are using a single UDA, the UDA will only be upgraded once as a component workflow (the upgrade tool always checks if the UDA has already been upgraded). The upgraded component workflow will not be published by default. You will need to review the component workflow and publish it so that other workflows which utilize it can be configured. Do not delete your upgraded UDA component workflows until you are certain no more upgraded workflows will utilize them. If a UDA has been upgraded as a component workflow and that component workflow is deleted, any additional upgraded workflows which utilize that component workflow will not recreate that component workflow during migration. If an upgraded UDA is not yet published, the component workflow name will not be visible in the Call a workflow action of the calling workflow. |
