Symptoms

When migrating a Nintex workflow to Microsoft 365, one of the following messages appears :

Workflow action 'action name' cannot be converted from on-premises to Microsoft 365. This action will be replaced by a 'Placeholder' action. The workflow will be saved at the destination but won't be published. Please consult the help link for more information.

The parameter 'Query' of the action 'Action Name' is invalid or uses a variable as list Id or title which is not available in Microsoft 365. This action will be replaced by a 'Placeholder' action. The workflow will be saved at the destination but won't be published.

Error code

  • NW-027-191

  • NW-161-364

Details

ShareGate Migrate supports an array of Nintex actions but some of those actions are still unsupported. The unsupported actions will be replaced by a placeholder action. This action is simply an empty action with the title of the source action. Here is a list of supported and unsupported actions.

Solution

You will need to edit the workflow at the destination. Simply delete the placeholder action and replace it with the corresponding Microsoft 365 Nintex action. Here is more information about the placeholder action.
