_My question_:  
Hi Team,  
I send the request and receive a body response as below picture.  
I want to parse the error message in the body.response but cannot.  
Is there any way to parse xml response in postman flows ?  
Please help me solve this.  
Thank you so much.

Hey @giangdo11, the `Send Request` block does support parsing xml responses. You might have to manually set it to XML.

Hi @s-a-g-e  
Thank you for your reply.  
I tried as you said but the SELECT block cannot parse XML in body.response.  
In the collections, I can convert body.response to Json then it can parse the error-message in the Tests as below:

```auto
var responseJson = xml2Json(pm.response.json().response);
if (pm.response.json().error == true) {
  pm.environment.set("error-message", responseJson["rpc-reply"]["rpc-error"]["error-message"]);
}

```

Can we run the script like that in postman flows? Or Does Postman flows support convert xml2Json as script?
