Hi!
I’m looking for the best way to create XML files in Pabbly.
The goal is to create an UBL File (XML) with invoice data that comes from an SQL import (Prestashop). I need them to be saved on Dropbox.

I have the data from Prestashop in Pabbly trough SQL but I don’t see how I can create an XML file and save it on dropbox.
Any suggestions or workarounds?

I have a basic xml template and variabels of the data input will change/map data.
Thanks for helping.

Hey @Lucas.

We looked over your concern and it seems like it is not possible to create XML file on the platform.

Hi!
Thanks for your fast reply!
I made a feature request, hope you guys can add the feature.

In the meanwhile, I think I found a solution with the onedrive app, I make a txt file and rename it to xml. Then I’ll make a new automation to transfeer from onedrive to Dropbox. I’ll post the results here for other interested people.

UPDATE: I did manage with Google Drive.

  1. create xml file in Google Drive
  2. Connect pabbly with GD
  3. action event: copy a file
  4. rename file
  5. new step: GD Update content in a File
  6. Done!

It's a workaround, I'll have to move the files from Google Drive to Onedrive what gives me a extra task but it does work.
