Solution
There are three scenarios that would explain why the action is not supported :
- There is no Nintex equivalent action in Microsoft 365
- There is no appropriate conversion for the action (no way to convert the action while preserving the business logic)
- The action is not yet supported by ShareGate Desktop.
ShareGate Desktop will replace these actions by a placeholder action. This action is basically an empty action with the name of the original action. You will be able to migrate the structure of your workflow and simply replace these actions by their corresponding Microsoft 365 counterparts. Here is an article with more informations on this.
