Workflow issue with SharePoint 2013 and Office O365

[Mark Cole]

I've had problems with several workflows on a SharePoint O365 site. When I check the workflow page for an individual item the message: "Some workflows may not be shown. We were unable to reach the workflow service." I have searched the web and it seems to be a known O365 issue. Does anyone have any information concerning the issue and what the solution maybe.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Hi

I have been able to execute my (Nintex) workflows under test until midday (GMT).   Then I can't reach them. The good thing about the cloud is we all share the fustration !
