STEP 1
Connect FTP and XML
Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.
FTP and XML Integration
Extend your XML other workflows with the built-in FTP node from WEXTL®. Trigger events from XML, add the FTP node where you need it in the flow, and let WEXTL®'s visual builder run the whole automation for you — smart decisions handled by AI, no coding skills required.

How to connect FTP to XML
Set up your FTP and XML integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected FTP and XML nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.
STEP 3
Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between FTP and XML. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between FTP and XML work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for FTP and XML that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting FTP and XML.
Connect your FTP and XML accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when FTP's "Watch files / folders" fires, WEXTL can "Create XML" in XML. FTP has 1 trigger (including Watch files / folders); XML has 5 actions (including Create XML, JSON to XML, and Parse XML). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. FTP-to-XML automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment FTP (or XML) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your FTP + XML automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
