Hi,

I have a couple of XML files that I would need to consolidate and transform. I have an xslt that does the trick. How could I automate this in a flow ? I didn't find an xslt transform component or action.

    Just chiming in here. To my best knowledge, there isn't a direct XSLT operation in Power Automate.

     

    Instead it should be possible to wire up a command line call to Java and Saxon as the XSLT processor. We're going this route at work, and I'll be playing around with this idea this week and next.

    Thanks @bouillons , I've just spread the voice within my company to vote your idea.

    I created a feature request at the time Add an xslt function to the xml and xpath functions in expressions · Community (powerautomate.com) but it did not get many votes. Ideally this should be natively part of the xml expression functions.

    It's a shame that it's supported by Logic App, but not Power Automate. You can either build a simple Logic App or build a Function App and call it from a Power Automate flow. either way the solution will not be as clean and you will have to pay extra for the hosting of the Function App or Logic App.

    No, unfortunately I have not found a component that does this.
