Details
This error occurs when Sharegate tries to copy a Nintex workflow that has an action with a parameter referencing a specific object (site, user, list). The workflow will be successfully copied, but it will not execute correctly (and it might even not be published). The problem can be caused by two different issues:
- The referenced object is not found at the source. This can happen if the referenced object was deleted or if it is located in another site collection.
- The referenced object is not found at the destination. This means that Sharegate found the referenced object in the source site collection but could not copy it or find a corresponding object at the destination.
Solution
The easiest solution is to manually update the workflow at the destination and then publish it.
If the error is due to a source object that is not found, you can also try to re-publish the source workflow and make sure the action's parameters are all valid, then retry the migration.
