Import XML into Indesign to convert to PDF

I'm trying to use a flow that will take the XML and create a document in Indesign. I have my XML file and the Indesign template. It looks like I need a script to open the Indesign file template and import the Indesign file. Can someone help me with this? I don't know scripting.
