When you open sharepoint designer and try to create new workflow, do you have "Sharepoint 2013 Workflow" option?
If no - check if you have installed and configured workflow manager:

Not getting the start or create a test option in sitecore 8.1

I am trying to do AB testing with workflow in Sitecore 8.1. I have already created the test variants in Test the Component Box. Those variants are also stored under the Test Lab in the Marketing Control Panel. But if i am trying to save the item those variants are not visible in experience editor and i am not getting any notification for submit or create test option. Can anyone please tell me what can be the reason and how i can get the Preview and start test dialog box. Is this any access/permission related issue?
Are you using a custom workflow? If so, you have to have the Approve with Test command added.
Are you able to see floating toolbar in Exp? editor. if yes, select the component you are testing. In the floating toolbar use the up and down arrows to preview each test variation

I tried changing my workflow to just send an email to check whether there is something wrong with the workflow but emailing work
I suspect it has something to do with the workflow engine service user (if there is such a thing) trying to create and Enterprise Project.
I and the admin so I have the full access but for some reason the workflow is running as a different user on my behalf.
It is a simple workflow and it looks like this
And the list looks like this with its mapping with the Project Web App Fields
Any reasons why this is happening?
How do I resolve the issue?
If its a workflow service user what is the user that I can give full access to creating Enterprise Projects
Since this is SharePoint Online we are talking about it leverages Azure Workflows. Impersonation is discontinued in SharePoint Designer so you will have to use the App Step, to do that you will need to first to activate Allow workflow to use app permissions feature, then create App Step action where you will place your create project action.
You can find more information on how to add App Step as well as how to setup permissions here:
App step in SharePoint Designer
(MSDN) Create a workflow with elevated permissions by using the SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform
Do you have schedule template associated with your EPT?
if yes, then you have to include that template to that group's category within selected projects section.
Go to the category of that user's group, select the project template and include it into selected projects.
You can find steps and details in this blog by my colleague: http://www.epmpartners.com.au/blog/sharepoint-list-workflow-failing-when-creating-project-from-list-item/
hope this helps.

EXM 3.2.0: Email Campaign Manager doesn't show the history of drafts / created messages

We need to setup EXM 3.2 with Sitecore 8.1 in production after we successfully configured EXM in development. Everything works fine in dev ... but in production we don't see the message history section (screenshots below)
MongoDb and the EXM.Dispatch database exist and nothing wierd apears in the logs. Any clue what might be the cause here? Thank you in advance
Sitecore EXM Messages are stored in sitecore_master_index. Try to rebuild the index from Control Panel -> Indexing Manager.
I see that you have non-default location of ExM root item. Please double check that it is configured correctly: go to "/sitecore/system/Modules/E-mail Campaign Manager" and check "Default Root Parent". It should be "Austria" in your case.

An error occurred while publishing Sitecore

When i am publishing site in Sitecore it is giving error.
Job started: Publish to 'web'|#Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.FormatException: Unrecognized Guid format.
Please guide me how can i resolve this error.
Did you an upgrade recently? If so, maybe this will help:
http://reasoncodeexample.com/2015/03/26/sitecore-linkdatabase-unrecognized-guid-format/
Try to rebuild the Link Database, gives that an error.
With Sql server Profiler (from SQL server Management Studio) you can find the item with the issue. Create a filter to capture the Web database. Start the publish, and press pause when the error occur. Now you see the latest publish action and can you see the guid in the query.
This is described here: Upgrade Sitecore experience with modules
In this case the issue was in the Webforms For Marketers (WFFM) module, the Tracking Field.
Also look for broken links. (Press right mouse button on the left white space in the content editor to choice with icons you want to see)
