Last published at: September 5th, 2025

Base64Decode Step

Description:

This step decodes Base64 text into a string.

 

Inputs

  • stringText – Text to decode
  • variableToStoreValue –  Variable to store the value
 

 

Returns

  • True – step executed successfully
  • False – step failed to execute
 

 

 

Usage:

 

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “Base64decodeDef” example.

  • Create a new process definition named “Base64decodeDef” and open it in designer mode. 
  • Drag a “base64Encode” and “base64Decode” step to the canvas.
  • Connect the dots between the “Start”, “base64Encode”, and “base64Decode” steps as shown above.
  • Define a variable or a global to store the encoded and decoded value. 
  • Click the “base64Encode” step to configure its “Required” properties. Enter a name for the step. Enter a text string to encode. Enter a variable or global reference to store the value. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 
     

 

  • Click the “base64Decode” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a variable or global reference for the text to decode, and another variable or global reference to store the decoded value. Click the Save button.  Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • The “Logging” configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures workflow progress and percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step to view its properties. The step should encode and decode the text, storing the result in a variable or a global, as shown below. 

 

 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link provided and later import them (drag-and-drop) into your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page. 

Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after the import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
