    Hi Bahar,

     

    I think you're looking for the HTTP Action. I just created a flow that gets the exchange rate and passing the body to a push notification:

    Hope that helps!

     

    Best,

    Hi Bahardurmus,

     

    Thanks for your reply. I am confirming from side about how to do “HTTP request XML web site” everyday.
    There would be some delay for the updates, thanks for your patience and understanding.

    hi @v-yamao-msft - Mabel Mao,

     

    Thank you,

     

    I Tried your second advice, it worked, but  I should request every day automatically, so When I add "recurrence" before "request", request fields change to response.

     

    How to do "http request XML web site" everyday?  What steps do I follow? 😞

     

    Best Regards,

    Bahar

    Hi Bahardurmus,

     

    About how to use HTTP action in Microsoft flow, I have seen two documents, hope these two documents can be a reference for you:
    1. Using the HTTP action to make requests with Microsoft Flow
    https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/http-card-tutorial/
    2. Triggering a Microsoft Flow from an HTTP Post
