The app I’m trying to integrate only accepts posts in xml format. Can be done?

@Marcel Khouri - You would need a library to convert an object to XML but the Platform UI doesn’t provide access to npm packages, so that’s not an option. However, with a CLI app you can definitely accomplish that.

    @Marcel Khouri - Yes that’s possible with webhooks. Just set the payload type to XML.

    @ikbelkirasan thanks, it’s a solution.

    And can I do this when creating an action for my own private integration in the Platform UI? To make it more reusable
