Location	Data > XML

The XML To Dynamic step converts the XML input to an ExpandoObject. An ExpandoObject is simply an object that can be dynamically changed during run time.

Properties

Inputs

Property	Description	Data Type
XMLInput	XML string	Boolean

Outputs

Property	Description	Data Type
Done	Outputs the converted XML	ExpandoObject
Error	Outputs the error message	String

Example

Pick or create a Flow. Then, select the XML to Dynamic step by navigating to DATA > XML within the Toolbox.
In the Properties panel for the XML to Dynamic step, enter the XMLInput under Inputs. Please note that the Input Mapping MUST be set to Constant, otherwise it will give the user an error. Once the XMLInput has been set to Constant, enter the XML in the provided space. Once that is complete, connect the Done and Error paths to the End step to complete the Flow.
Once the Flow is complete, Select Debug and then Start Debugging. This will test the Flow to ensure it is working correctly, and will also show the user the ExpandoObject output. This Datatype allows users to add, delete, and get values for aspects of the Instance.
