I know XML and Xpath are a bit old nowadays, but a lot of HTTP web services use it. I have a HTTP web service that is returning XML and I'd like to process it and pull out some data using Xpath. I've seen Xpath can be used in Azure Logic apps which Flow is an extension of, but I can't work out how I would do it in MS Flow.
Any tips or ideas would be appreciated. Or, word from the dev's that it can't be done would be good to know as well!
Thanks

It's an advanced functionality, but you can use Azure Logic apps functions inside of your flow. The way to do this is to do something like:
"My value: @{someFunction('foo')}". Then someFunction() will be called. Thus, if you know how to use the xpath function you can use that here. Note, however, that once you do this it will "lock" that text box in Flow so to edit it later you'll need to delete/recreate that action. Generally, we'd recommend Logic apps for those types of scenarios.
