Hi,
Is it possible to send a xml (or any file) to a SFTP server via okta workflows?
Best regards,
Shivam

Additionally, how can i add xsi namespace in the xml builder workflow card. I have option to specify the rootName, which is good but no option to add xsi namespace for schema location.
For example, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

@lsr4m (lsr4m) -- Workflows recently added support for SFTP. See: https://help.okta.com/wf/en-us/Content/Topics/Workflows/connector-reference/sftp/sftp.htm
I will take a look at the XML cards tomorrow and see if there is an option. You may need to just leverage compose and perform which ever process RAW in text. While there is some support for XML Workflows is definitely mostly focused towards JSON.
@lsr4m (lsr4m) -- So couple things here:
As I mentioned yesterday it is possible to SFTP. However, this needs to be a type:file in Workflows. Which means you can't Modify a plain text file in Workflows and later send that as a type:file via SFTP. This isn't possible as there is no "convert text to file" type card in Workflows.
For your second inquiry as I suspected you are going to need to make the modifications raw as plain text leveraging the compose card. Keep in mind the compose card does allow variables which means you can dynamically include values into the resulting output.
