Common migration issues

  • 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.
  • Run a test instance and compare outputs against the original Nintex workflow before production migration.

Validation checklist

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