Did you know you can create a custom action in Nintex Workflow 2013 using Visual Studio and the Nintex 2013 Platform SDK. With a custom action, you can:

• insert your function into a Nintex workflow
• pass data from the workflow into your function
• return information processed by the function to the workflow where it can be used by workflow actions

The process of building out the custom action, deploying, and testing it takes some time. My record time so far is about 10 hours (while plugged into headphones, drinking a steady flow of black coffee and Coke 0, and not talking to anyone.) So settle in when you’re ready to tackle this approach and brew up your favorite coding beverage to help you along.
