# Preview a SOAP message script

Generate a sample script to send the SOAP message.

After you have developed and tested the SOAP message, click the **Preview script usage** related link in the SOAP Message Function form. The dialog box displays an example of how you can invoke the SOAP message from a script.

You can manipulate the resulting XML response body with [XMLDocument](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/api-reference/scripts/c_XMLDocumentScriptObject.md) or with [GlideSystem - getXMLText\(String xml, String xpathQuery\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/api-reference/server-api-reference/c_GlideSystemAPI.md) and [GlideSystem - getXMLNodeList\(String xml\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/api-reference/server-api-reference/c_GlideSystemAPI.md).
