Migrating large number of Nintex based SPS 2019 Workflows to SPO

Hi SP Brain trust,

We’re migrating a SharePoint 2019 on-prem farm (200+ sites) to SharePoint Online, which includes massive 100+ Nintex workflows heavily used across the business and we’re working within a tight timeline which makes it a massive challenge to go down the modernisation path.

Has anyone migrated a large number of Nintex workflows (100+ ) from SharePoint 2019 to SharePoint Online using 3rd party tooling? What approach or tools did you use, how much manual rework was involved, and what was your overall success rate and effort like?

Thank you!

    Hi manojviduranga​ 

    it requires a lot of preparation time, and the end of life has been known for quite some time...

    How will workflows be implemented in the future?

    If you transform all workflows to Power Automate Flow, you will need to modernize and rebuild the workflows, but you can migrate content from lists and libraries. 

     

    Typical procedure in projects:

    • inventory - Analyze all nintex workflows, Record complexity, triggers, actions
    • mapping - Assign Nintex actions > Power Automate actions; is it possible to transform the worklows
    • rebuild workflow

     

    Best, Dave
