I have a library that houses XML files. These files are retrieved from a Network Drive and through PowerShell and a Scheduled Task will deposit any new files located in this Network Drive and dump a copy into the SharePoint Library. Once any new files it will trigger the workflow to render the XML file content into a SharePoint list item. I have almost everything working, but right now I have the Set Variables at the start of the workflow with but it is hardcoded in the value to a specified file for testing purposes EX: https://local/XMLFilesFromFactoryLogix/20241015114157.xml. How should I have it set to that it processes any new XML files into the library? Can I use a wildcard? (*)

Hi @jamvan,

Instead of adding the file to a variable, access it directly in the library using the Query XML action.

Set the XML source in the action as current item and the file will be read directly from the library.
