We have a Nintex Workflow and I need to send a list of documents in a folder to a customer as email attachment. Sound easy !! Although this could be an easy tasks unfortunately I couldn't find an easy way to do this, because the "Attachment" input element only takes a full path to a single file. That means you can't loop through a folder and collect all files with a seperator in a variable and give it to the attachment control. Or better would be to collect all paths in the "Collection" variable and give this variable to the attachment control. This also does not work in my Nintex version. Maybe the Nintex guys already added this feature. The only way I found is to save each file in a separate variable. So I had to make a restrictions like, "I've maximum 5 attachments". So in my Workflow I've 3 variables (you can have more): fileAttachPath : Contains the path to the folder like http://sharepoint/sites/projectX/docs fileAttach1:...

If you select a user list field to be displayed in Nintex E-Mails you usually get the user login, like "domain/cmasters". If you want to display the full name of a user, you can use the "Search User Profile" Action in the "Integration" tab. Search User Profile When you configure the action, you can select the user list field from the item to be saved in a text variable. You can also select which profile property to read and to be saved in the variable. Configure Action Now you can use the variable in all other actions.
