How It Works
The workflow begins with an IMAP email trigger that retrieves specific emails based on predefined criteria. The extracted email content is then processed through an XML transformation node, converting complex XML structures into clean, standardized JSON format. Subsequently, the transformed data is sent via an HTTP POST request to a designated endpoint, ensuring seamless data transfer and integration. Comprehensive error handling nodes are integrated to manage potential issues, providing resilience and reliability throughout the automation process.
