Generating XML from a Form Submission so that it can posted to a 3rd party

Posting data to a 3rd party can be done with our flexible HTTP POST wizard or with Web Hooks. These guide provides a couple of examples if generating XML from a form submission so that it can be posted to a 3rd Party

There are a couple of ways you can generate XML and post it to a 3rd party. These 2 methods are explained below.

1. Using Bindings on the form in a hidden textarea to manually build the XML:

This depends on your XML needs. You could write a bindings that wrote the XML to a textarea field element like this in the binding:

'<application xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ' +
'id="5aa69470-d09d-4db2-8f8f-b172667a5732" timestamp="2018-07-30T10:03:42" type="Full" startdate="2018-07-30" ' +
'version="2.00" adcode="OL2018" businesssource="Compare the Market(Offline)">' +
'<covertypes>' + 
'<cover type="'+[type]+'" subtype="None" term="'+[term]+'" amount="'+[amount]+'" indexation="Level" />'+ 
'</covertypes>'

That was just a small sample of the XML. You can also use conditional logic to build something more advanced /hc/en-us/articles/208079356-Writing-Conditional-Statements

2. Using a webhook to build and send the XML
This option requires webhooks to be enabled (they are not enabled by default) and is an Enterprise Plan feature.
