The Encoding tab of the Base64 Decode Action specifies the Base64-encoded source data and the decoding mode to use. The Action converts Standard Base64 or Base64URL input back into its original text representation.
Provide the encoded input directly or dynamically through the Variable Wizard, and then let the Action detect the format automatically or select it explicitly. Output charset, invalid character handling, padding recovery, and optional result storage are configured separately on the Options tab.
| Encoding | Details |
|---|---|
| Input data | Specifies the Base64-encoded data to decode. Enter the value directly or use the Variable Wizard to provide dynamic content from files, Triggers, previous Actions, variables, web responses, and other sources. |
| Decoding mode | Specifies how the encoded input is interpreted:

- Base64 Decode integration and auditing—Variables (dynamic data) and Events (recorded activity). Use Variables to decode content received from connected Triggers or previous Actions, and use Events to track successful or unsuccessful decoding for auditing and workflow control.

Notes
- The output charset selected on the Options tab must match the character encoding of the original data for text to be restored correctly.
- Auto-detection identifies the Base64 alphabet, while invalid characters and missing padding are handled according to the selected Options settings.
