Here is a step-by-step guide to help you set up your XML Parser with FlowMattic

Step 1: Create a New Workflow

Go to the FlowMattic Dashboard, where you can manage and create workflows. To start a new workflow, click the “New Workflow” button located in the top-right corner of the Dashboard. This will begin the process of creating your new workflow.

Step 2: Add the XML Parser as an Action Step

Click the “+” icon in your workflow to add a new action step.
In the search bar that appears, type “XML Parser” and select it from the list of available actions. This will add the XML Parser to your workflow, allowing you to proceed with its configuration.

Step 3: Choose the Action Event

Once the XML Parser is added, you’ll need to specify the action event.Select the action event “Parse XML File,” which is designed to convert an XML file or its URL into JSON format. This transformation is crucial for making the data usable in subsequent workflow steps.

Step 4: Configure the Settings

Provide the publicly accessible URL of the XML file you want to parse. Ensure that the URL is accurate and accessible, as the parser will retrieve the XML data directly from this location.
After entering the URL, proceed to test the action step to ensure that the data is parsed correctly. This step validates that the XML file is being read and converted as intended.

Step 5: Test and Save Your Workflow

Run a test to ensure the XML Parser is functioning as expected. This will help you confirm that the XML data is being converted to JSON format and is ready for use in the next steps of your workflow.
Once the test is successful, save your workflow. You can now integrate the parsed data into other actions or processes within the same workflow, creating a seamless automation chain.
