Yammer create new account

Nintex external platform is required for this feature. For details, see Enable Nintex external platform features.

Creates a new account on the authorizing user's Yammer network. An activation email is sent to the user to activate the account.

The Yammer network is determined by the authorizing user's email domain. For example, if the authorizing user's email address is user@company.com, then the operation occurs on the company.com Yammer network.

Action settings

Following are the fields and options visible in the configuration settings dialog box for this action.

Field Description
Authorizing user

Specify an email address for the authorization request. External email addresses can be used.

  1. On execution of the action, a message is sent to the email address specified for the authorizing user. The message contains the following details.

    From: notification@nintexlive.com

    Subject: Contains the phrases "Nintex" and "Request authorization"

    Contents: Contains links to authorize or deny the operation

  2. When the authorizing user clicks the link to authorize the operation, the authorizing user is prompted to do the following.
    • Log in to the external service

    • Allow Nintex to access the external service

    • Decide whether to waive future Nintex authorization requests for this external service

  3. When the prompted actions are completed, the action completes.

If the authorization process is not completed, then the workflow suspends. This situation can occur in the following scenarios.

  • The authorizing user explicitly denies the operation, either by clicking the deny link in the email message or not allowing Nintex access to the external service after logging in.

    Error logged for suspended workflow:

    “The service request has been denied.”

  • Seven days pass without completion of the authorization process. Either the authorizing user never clicks the authorize link in the email message or the authorizing user initiates the process but does not complete all steps. For example, the authorizing user logs in to the external service but does not allow Nintex to access the external service.

    Error logged for suspended workflow:

    “The service request has expired.”

Note: This workflow action requires authorization by the administrator of the Yammer network.

New user email

Specify the user email address to be created. This account must be the same domain as the authorizing user.
