HTML requests chain passing response to next chain server

ksouth · Jul '23

HI All
I have a situation where I need to authenticate with a HTML POST XML style layout then HTML POST XML to send the data.
Using Webhooks with HTTP requests chain I can authenticate and I can send the correct data in the next Http server in the chain. the problem is in the authenticate post I get a sessionid response that I need to pass to the next http server POST.
For Example <SubscribeResponse xmlns=\"http://MASXMLwebServer.com\" xmlns:i=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"><SessionID>82b437d0-95c1-4072-a7e6-5df3ff8d52ba</SessionID><HeartbeatInterval>32000</HeartbeatInterval><ResultCode>0</ResultCode><ResultText>ok</ResultText></SubscribeResponse>

Any idea's how I can capture the data in<SessionID>82b437d0-95c1-4072-a7e6-5df3ff8d52ba</SessionID> and pass it to the next HTTP Server in the Chain.

Thanks for any assistance.

ksouth yoy need JSON in order to manipulate the data in flespi. How about to use XML to JSON converter in between chain elements?
Something like this: https://github.com/factmaven/xml-to-json

shal Thanks for the idea. Is there a call I can make in the chain to pull the body of the reply to use in a call to the XML to JSON converter. I've been looking through the documents but haven't spotted anything yet.

ksouth It is responses[0..x] available as array for each response. You access it via %responses[0]%. I suggest you to continue discussion in flespi chat (top right corner of your flespi.io account) if you will have some troubles so that we can help you in your account.
