I am trying to: Automatically import CPT data from an XML file on the server.

I have a feed that will be updating an XML file on our server daily. Is it possible to import data from the file into Types?

I would also need to deactivate any post that is not included in the XML file.

Is this possible?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

To import data from XML you may try to use third party plugin:
=> https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-all-import/

Try WordPress default import from Tools menu that will allow you to import xml files.
