Base64: Decode Node

The Base64: Decode Node allows you to decode a Base64 string on the payload and store the result on the payload for later use. The result will be a binary array by default.

This node is only available in Embedded Workflows. If you would like to decode a Base64 string in any of the other workflow classes, you can do so using the {{decodeBase64}} helper.

Node Properties

The Base64: Decode Node's configuration has a single section ...

Configuration

Define the data source and the destination for the result:

• Encoded String Path: The payload path to the string to decode.
• Decoded Result Path: The payload path at which to store the result.
• Output as UTF-8 String: Optionally, you may want the result to be a UTF-8 encoded string instead of a binary array.

Node Example

In the above example, the workflow will decode the string at the data path and place the results at the working.parsedBase64 path as a string. So, for example, given the following payload:

{
  "data": "TXkgc3RyaW5n",
  ...
}

The payload after execution of the Base64: Decode Node would look like:

{
  "data": "TXkgc3RyaW5n",
  "working": {
    "parsedBase64": "My string"
  },
  ...
}

Node Errors

If the provided input is not a valid Base64 string, the workflow will halt and error at this node.
