Current server issues?

Is anyone currently encountering any issues with the Workflow action pack? Any workflow we have action pack functions in is failing / suspending. We've made no changes to any of our workflows for some time now, so the issues have come as a surprise.

Hi @Jaydius,

Please retry the flow and let me know if the issue persists. If yes, share a screenshot with the error message.

One particular workflow is using the send email with attachment and presenting this error:

Exception: The request failed. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

We’ve checked credentials are correct. There has been no changes to these recently and the workflow had been working fine for over 18 months.

Another workflow using the 'Get items by query' function is throwing the following error:

RequestorId: aa59fede-6d84-e561-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance.

Hello @Jaydius,

We also haven't upgraded the product recently.

Could you clarify is it Online or On premises version?

We have the Online (Office 365) version.

As these issues have only started recently, could they be in relation to Microsoft disabling Basic Authentication? I see Nintex Workflows have recently updated with the following note:

The Username and Password fields in the configuration of Exchange Online actions have been replaced with the Authorizing user field due to Microsoft deprecating basic authentication.

Hi @Jaydius,

Do you use Send Email with Attachments (Exchange) action?

If yes, could you try Send Email with Attachments action (not Exchange) and specify correct smtp server settings?

It appear the exchange action was the issue. Changing to the SMTP action fixed the authentication error. Thank you for your help Petr!
