Hi All,
We have a usecase where a customer is putting XML files in a specific folder. We can easily pull these files in Tulip with a ‘open link’ and then the URL of the path.
However, we want this to be embedded in Tulip and to not have a link to a notepadd ++ or another file.
Can we create something to mimic the behaviour of this Filedrop like a connector? Or am I missing something in the current connectors to handle this?
Thanks!

Are they local files or on a service like Onedrive or dropbox?
This has yet to be discussed. If there is a solution for dropbox Or Onedrive I’m happy to explore that and propose to the customer.
If it’s on a web-based service, you could possibly use the webpage widget in an app. But the security settings will need to allow for the url to be shared/embedded.
If the file is local, you could use node-red to get the file data as a variable in the app.
Is your goal to just view the data in the xml or use it in part of the workflow/manipulate it?
Should be to only view it, to build some digital workinstructions with the variables in the XML.
NodeRed seems indeed a good solution. Thanks!
I was able to embed an XML file in an app using the webpage widget. We use Onedrive.
Can you elaborate on the solution? The variable/Fixed url you give is the onedrive path?
I tried it quickly and could not seem to get this working.
This is the url you will need from your file in onedrive.
Were you able to get a solution that worked for you?
