For this I am looking for how to retrieve all descriptions from description column to store in SPD variable. However, unable to find the solution.

  • I guess I dint read your title. So from the title I am assuming You have a custom list and description as a column in it. Through out the day users add items and description column stores clippings in it. Now you want a consolidated workflow which pics clippings from all items and send an email? Right?

  • There is nothing like that available in a SPD workflow, "downgrading" from Nintex you are going to lose most functionality. A custom timer job or an alert is your best option.

I don't think a workflow is going to get you there, they are pretty bad at aggregating information. I believe you want a digest alert on the list that runs daily. This will pull all the posts together into one email and send that off to whomever you specify.
