What it does

This Nintex action creates or coordinates human work, such as an approval, review, or task record. It usually controls who receives work, what details they see, and which branch the workflow follows after the response.

How Flow Migrator maps it

Flow Migrator maps this to Task-record persistence mapping or reviewed redesign required using Approvals / SharePoint. Preserves the saved TaskIds variable, task-list binding and enabled consumers in analysis. Export is blocked when later actions consume the Nintex SharePoint task IDs: native approvals do not create those task-list records. Approval IDs, zero/defaults and fixed substitute IDs are not a mapping. An unused TaskIds output alone does not block an otherwise supported approval. Power Automate does not currently provide a close native equivalent for this action.

Common migration issues

  • Power Automate may require a redesign, custom connector, HTTP endpoint, or manual replacement for this action.
  • Validate assignees, task outcomes, reminders, escalations, custom task forms, and notification behavior.
  • Validate SharePoint site, list/library, content type, required fields, person fields, lookup fields, and attachment or file path behavior.

Validation checklist

  1. Review this item before export or immediately after import.
  2. Open the generated flow and confirm the action card imported correctly.
  3. Validate connection references and required settings before running the flow.
  4. Test with representative source data from the original workflow.
  5. Confirm outcome branches and task assignment values match the Nintex behavior.
  6. Confirm site/list/library names and complex field mappings in the target tenant.
