Hi,

I'm getting null value when I tried to get sessionID using below function. Please help me on this.

xpath(xml(outputs('HTTP')),'//*[Local-name()="Envelope"]/*[Local-name()="Body"]/loginResponse/result/sessionId')

HTTP post request output (body):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" xmlns="urn:partner.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLschema-instance">
<Soapenv:Body >
<loginResponse>
<result>
<metadataServerUrl>https://salesforce.com/services/soap/35.0</metadataServerUrl>
<sandbox>false</sandbox>
<sessionId>00RREg646744nnhd73636884</sessionId>
<userInfo>
<LoginName>Company</LoginName>
</userInfo>
</result>
</loginResponse>
</Soapenv:Body >
</Soapenv:Envelope>

Thanks in advance.

@Ajay3

Your XML does not seem to be valid, when I try to convert the SOAP Envelope to XML it gives me the error.

Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Compose_2' inputs at line '1' and column '2860': 'The template language function 'xml' parameter is not valid. The provided value cannot be converted to XML: ''Soapenv' is an undeclared prefix. Line 2, position 3.'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#xml for usage details.'.

So I pasted it in an online XML validator and I got the same error. You can also validate XML at https://www.xmlvalidation.com/index.php?id=1&L=0

That being said, In my blog I have explained how to get a value from the SOAP Envelope (Step 5 to Step 6C) : https://clavinfernandes.wordpress.com/2019/11/12/create-a-flow-using-the-soap-connector/

Hi @Ajay3 ,

Have you had an opportunity to apply any of @CFernandes 's recommendations to adapt your Flow? I did a test on my side and the results are consistent with what CFernandes described. It seems that the XML data you provided is in the wrong format.

Please refer to @CFernandes 's suggestions to modify the configuration and feel free to let us know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,
