Coming soon…This is an upcoming feature. Base64 Decode is planned for general availability in version 10.1.

The Options tab of the Base64 Decode Action allows you to configure the output character set, invalid character handling, padding validation, and optional result storage. These settings determine how the decoded bytes are converted to text and how strictly the encoded input is processed.

Choose the character set that matches the original data, and specify whether unexpected characters should cause the Action to fail or be ignored. Missing Base64 padding can either be required or restored automatically when possible.

OptionsDetails
Charset Specifies the character set used to convert the decoded bytes into text:
  • UTF-8 · Decodes the output as UTF-8 text, supporting Unicode characters and multilingual content.
  • ASCII · Decodes the output using the ASCII character set, suitable for basic English text and protocol data.
  • ISO-8859-1 · Decodes the output using the single-byte Latin-1 character set commonly used by legacy systems.
On invalid characters Controls how characters that do not belong to the selected or detected Base64 format are handled:
  • Fail · Stops the Task when an invalid character is encountered.
  • Ignore whitespace · Ignores spaces, tabs, and line breaks while treating other invalid characters as errors.
  • Ignore all non-Base64 chars · Discards characters that are not valid for the selected or detected Base64 format.
Padding Controls how missing Base64 padding is handled:
  • Require · Requires the input to contain valid trailing = padding when padding is needed.
  • Auto-fix missing padding · Automatically restores missing trailing = padding when the input can be completed correctly.
Also, store result inThe result of the decoding operation is already accessible via the Variable Wizard. Optionally, choose an existing variable to store the result. To create an empty variable, use the Set Variable Action.
This Action is enabledAn Action is executed only if it is enabled. Otherwise, it will be automatically skipped (completely ignored) from the Task flow.
Use custom display nameRename this Action, to make a human-readable workflow that will help you to find, read, and make sense of the Task structure later.
Advanced fallback optionsManage the advanced fallback options—select which error types will lead to automatic execution of predefined workaround operations.
Log only errorsDo not log information and warning messages for this Action. It may be useful to keep the log file small and tidy on production systems.

The art of automation. A 90-second masterclass.
