To create an integration, navigate to the Integrations page in the Settings menu in Nintex Workflow Cloud.

  To see the feature in action and for more information, watch this video and see the Integrations help topic.

    • Add attachments to a record

  • The Query record action has been improved to support objects in the output.

    • The results can now return the records and selected fields as a collection of objects which can help reduce the number of API calls and will take advantage of the benefits of working with objects.

    • Results also include the first result as an object, allowing for a more advanced condition configuration when wanting to return a single record.

      Note: All existing output fields from the previous version are still available. Workflows designed in the previous working model will still be valid. Existing workflows that used the previous version of Salesforce - Query record action will not have the new features listed above but will continue to execute (no action required).

User directory lookup and Authenticated Task forms

With this release, we are thrilled to announce the ability for Tasks to be assigned to users within your linked user directory, and Task form authentication in the Assign a task action.

User directory lookup:

• If your tenant is federated, you will now find the "User directory lookup" configuration page in Settings. If you don't have access, reach out to your Tenant Administrator.

• By connecting your tenant to a User directory lookup, Task forms can be easily assigned to users found within your connected directory.

• When a task is successfully assigned to a user, they will automatically be added into your Nintex Workflow Cloud's Users list as a Participant.

Task form authentication:

• Upon selecting "Form based task" in your Assign a task action, note the new field "Assignee authentication". If enabled, task assignees must be found within your user directory or the Users list. When the assignee opens the form, they will be asked to sign into Nintex Workflow Cloud before the form is displayed.

New features and performance improvements

• User groups has been added to the User management page in settings, which allows you to create and manage groups of users. Also, User groups allow you to share Workflows and Connections with groups of users.

• The Domain Management page has been added to Settings. The Domains management page enables Nintex Workflow Cloud tenant admins to manage primary and additional domains for their tenants. Once a primary domain has been verified by admins, it allows them to update single sign-on settings. Primary domain admins are also able to add and verify additional domains for user management and signing-on to Nintex Workflow Cloud.

Forms features:

• Formulas can now be used in Rules engine on the IF condition.

• The Image control can now accept variables or a formula.

New features

Microsoft Teams in Nintex Workflow Cloud

We are excited to announce our new set of workflow actions that provide deep-level integrations with Microsoft Teams!

Our new connector allows you to develop formalized and managed processes to assist in introducing a level of governance and consistency around how organizations roll out Microsoft Teams.

Beyond roll out, we also help manage the life cycle of a Team, both from adding and removing team members and channels all the way through archiving a Team when it's no longer in use.

Just some of the actions we provide with our new Teams integration include:

• Create / Archive / Clone / Update a Team

• Create Channels and Post to a Channel

• Add Owners and Members to a Team

• Add links to tabs (e.g. Nintex Forms and Promapp processes)

For the full list check out the new Microsoft Teams connector category in the toolbox or read more about it on our new blog post.

Resolved issues

• Fixed an issue with the Query JSON action to now correctly return the result in a stringify JSON object.

• Fixed an issue where users cannot change who has access to a form when form variables are in use in the workflow.

How can I determine if my workflows are impacted?

Your workflows will be impacted if you have any workflows that contain Query JSON or Apply a regular expression action, that were configured before September 24, 2019.

When you edit your workflow, we will automatically assess whether any deprecated actions exist; these workflows will be identified with a warning banner on the Designer page.

If you do not have any workflows that contain Query JSON or Apply a regular expression action, no further action is required.

How do I fix my workflows?

Before January 31, 2020, you will need to apply the following steps to all workflows that use Query JSON and/or Apply a regular expression actions:

1. Identify a workflow that contains Query JSON and/or Apply a regular expression actions. Edit the workflow.

2. In the Designer, deprecated actions are identified with a warning. Open an action that has been marked with a warning.

3. Take note of your action configuration. Make the appropriate adjustments to convert the expressions from Ruby to .NET.

4. In the action toolbar, search for Query JSON or Apply a regular expression. All search results will only display the newest version of the action.

5. Drag on a new action and configure the action with the new .NET expression.

6. Delete the old version of the action.

7. Repeat the previous steps for all marked Query JSON or Apply a regular expression actions in the workflow.

8. Publish your workflow.

Repeat this for all workflows containing a Query JSON or Apply a regular expression action.

If you need more guidance on identifying workflows that may be affected, contact Nintex Support.

What happens if the actions are deprecated and I still have published workflows using the old versions of the actions?

On January 31, 2020, we will deprecate the old versions of Query JSON and Apply a regular expression actions. If you have not updated these actions before the deprecation date, your workflows will begin to fail.

What do I do if I have further questions or need assistance with this change?

Contact Nintex Support to ask any questions or to schedule a call.
