Encoding and cryptography

Crypto

Inputs	value (string)
Outputs	result (string)

op	Effect
base64Encode	Encodes to base64
base64Decode	Decodes
md5	MD5 digest
sha1	SHA-1 digest
sha256	SHA-256 digest
sha512	SHA-512 digest
hmacSha256	HMAC SHA-256 — requires the key field
uuid	Generates a UUID v4

hmacSha256 is what you need in order to sign an outbound webhook or verify an inbound signature. Put the key in a Secret-typed variable.

JWT

Inputs	value (string)
Outputs	result — { header, payload, signature }

Decodes a token so you can inspect its claims — for instance to check an expected scope really is present after authenticating.

Caution

The signature is not verified. This box decodes, it does not validate. For a signature check, go through a code action with the appropriate library.

URL

Inputs	value
Outputs	result

op	Effect
encode	Encodes a URL component
decode	Decodes
parseQuery	Parses a query string into an object
buildQuery	Builds a query string from an object
parseUrl	Breaks a URL apart

parseUrl returns { protocol, hostname, port, pathname, search, hash, origin, query } — handy for extracting an identifier from a Location header after a creation.
