Hi M123,

You should be able to do this.  

You need to create a class with an invokable method that can be called from your visual workflow https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_classes_annotation_InvocableMethod.htm?search_text=InvocableMethod

In within your invokable method, you need to call make a callout to the webservice.  Your web service callout logic should be contained in a separate class.  

Is your web service SOAP or REST?  Here is some information about invoking a web service from apex https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_integration_intro.htm

thank you Terri, it is REST with SOAP Wrapper. I already have webservice class now I need to create a class with Invocable method and call that method from Flow.
