Convert, Modify, and Save XML Data via Dropbox

This workflow automates the process of fetching XML data from a public URL, transforming it into JSON, modifying a specific element, converting it back to XML, and then saving the updated XML file to Dropbox. It is useful for workflows where XML data needs to be regularly retrieved, edited, and stored automatically.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

1. The workflow starts with an HTTP Request node that pulls XML data from a specified URL (in this case, https://httpbin.org/xml).

2. The raw XML string from this response is passed to an XML node that converts the XML into a JSON object.

3. The JSON object is forwarded to a Set node, where it updates a specific field—here, the ‘slideshow.title’ is changed to ‘New Title Name’.

4. The modified JSON data is sent to another XML node that converts it back into an XML format.

5. Finally, the new XML data is uploaded and saved to Dropbox in a specified folder, creating or overwriting the file ‘my-xml-file.xml’.

This workflow is particularly useful for scenarios where XML data needs to be programmatically updated and stored automatically, such as content management, data synchronization, or automated reporting involving XML files.
