New features

Connectors

Nintex is accelerating a connector rollout over this next year and beyond. We have released two new connectors and will be delivering lots more in the coming months. The two new connectors are:

• Trello

• Google Directory

See our blog post for more details.

Xtensions

In Xtensions, you can now display object input fields in a nested tree structure to show the hierarchy, or in a flattened structure to keep things simple.

As part of this release you may notice some styling updates to the user interface of the action configuration panel. More exciting updates will be rolled out in future releases.

Federation

Nintex Workflow tenants that are federated to Azure Active Directory via SAML now support Guest Users. Once a Guest user is added to Azure Active Directory they will be able to sign into the Nintex Workflow tenant.

Assign a task to multiple users

The new action, Assign a task to multiple users, will allow you to assign a task to up to 10 individuals and decide on the outcome by waiting for one or all users for a 'majority wins' scenario.

This is the first of many updates coming to tasks, with many more enhancements in the coming months.

See our blog post for more details.

Resolved issues

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

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.
