Integration with Nintex Workflow

Integration with a Nintex Workflow tenant allows SharePoint Online users to directly access Nintex Workflow via the Nintex Automation Cloud app.

The integration is created in the Nintex Workflow tenant. The integration with Nintex Workflow can be created to a SharePoint Online tenant, or only a Site collection or Site. For more information about integration, see the Integrations topic in the Nintex Workflow help documentation.

For more information about the Nintex Automation Cloud app, see the Install the Nintex Workflow app help topic.

When you open the Nintex Automation Cloud app:

  • If an integration is created in Nintex Workflow , the integrated Nintex Workflow is opened enabling the user to directly access Nintex Workflow via any SharePoint list or library.

  • If an integration is not created, the Integrate Nintex Automation Cloud page is displayed.

    • Click Integrate with an existing tenant and follow the instructions to create the integration. For instructions, see the Integrations topic in the Nintex Workflow help documentation.

    • Click Sign-up for a free trial to sign up for a new Nintex Workflow tenant.

    Important:  Nintex Workflow can be accessed using the Nintex Automation Cloud app only from a SharePoint list or library. Site workflows are not supported and Nintex Workflow can't be accessed via Site contents.
