STEP 1
Select XML in workflow
Pick XML app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
XML Integration
Work with XML in your workflows. Parse documents into structured data, build XML from your fields, convert to and from JSON, and query documents for specific values. Use XML inside visual workflows on WEXTL to compose logic that vendor integrations alone cannot cover. Pair it with app triggers and actions on the canvas to build end-to-end automations.

Supported triggers and actions for XML integration
Triggers can detect changes in XML and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside XML automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- Create XMLBuild an XML document from your mapped fields.
- JSON to XMLConvert JSON data into an XML document.
- Parse XMLRead an XML document into structured data, optionally handling each repeated element as its own item.
- XML to JSONConvert an XML document into JSON data.
- XPath QueryQuery an XML document with an XPath expression to pull out matching values.
How to integrate XML in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your XML connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect XML
When prompted, authorize access to XML in WEXTL once. XML credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
XML Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your XML account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with XML yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect XML to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

Connect XML to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with XML below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with XML. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with XML integration
Select Create XML action from XML - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in XML, workflow will start [7] from Create XML node.
Search for JSON to XML, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Create XML and JSON to XML, so only important data pass from Create XML to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of XML automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
XML on WEXTL has 5 modules for building built-in automations. Explore XML documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating XML in your workflows.
XML is a built-in WEXTL workflow node. In practice, work with XML in your workflows. Parse documents into structured data, build XML from your fields, convert to and from JSON, and query documents for specific values. Configure the node's settings panel to control how it behaves inside your automation.
Drop XML onto the visual canvas alongside app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes. Connect it to the steps before and after, configure its parameters, and it runs as part of the automation every time the workflow executes.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. WEXTL authenticates every connection per account, encrypts credentials at rest, and lets you enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation that uses XML.
XML runs alongside app integrations on the same workflow canvas. It receives data from upstream steps (triggers or other nodes) and passes results to downstream steps. Refer to our XML Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
Absolutely. XML works with every trigger source and every app integration on WEXTL. Combine it with native app triggers, scheduled polling, or the Custom Webhook node so XML can react to events from any external system.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes like XML inside the workflow builder [4]. You can combine XML with app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) to build the exact flow you need.
