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

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,

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 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,

Mark
