Questions about this workflow

What metadata is required?

The XML must include the required OpenRosa or ODK metadata, including a unique instanceID. Provide any values Trello cannot supply.

When should I use this action?

Use it when your CommCare process expects the ODK compatible endpoint or Android client compatibility.
