Hi, i have string that i will like to decode and send it as attachement in a mail.
Is there a solution from base64 to file ?
Regards,
Stefan
You can decode the string using the crypto node.
Ricardo with the crypto, i mean its only possible to have a hash ! Not to decode base64.
what node are you gonna use to send the email?
Or to write in a file. Send Email Node works in other solutions good.
I have to tried it with this in a function:
// Decode the String
var decodedStr = atob(encodedStr);
But it dont go. Any idea ?
Yeah, I have forgotten about it. It is in the text node that has not been released yet. But either way you can decode it using the function node.
Do you have an idea for the function ? I am a JavaScript newby.
Check the example below:
{
"nodes": [
{
"parameters": {},
"name": "Start",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.start",
"typeVersion": 1,
"position": [
250,
300
]
},
{
"parameters": {
"functionCode": "//base64 \"hola\"\nconst base64String = \"aG9sYQ==\"\n\nreturn [\n {\n json: {\n data: Buffer.from(base64String, 'base64').toString()\n }\n }\n]"
},
"name": "Function",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.function",
"typeVersion": 1,
"position": [
480,
310
]
}
],
"connections": {
"Start": {
"main": [
[
{
"node": "Function",
"type": "main",
"index": 0
}
]
]
}
}
}i understand. But how i get my data from propertyName to Base64string ?
In your case use the name of the set node instead of Function1
{
"nodes": [
{
"parameters": {},
"name": "Start",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.start",
"typeVersion": 1,
"position": [
250,
300
]
},
{
"parameters": {
"functionCode": "\nreturn [\n {\n json: {\n data: Buffer.from($node['Function1'].json.propertyName, 'base64').toString()\n }\n }\n]"
},
"name": "Function",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.function",
"typeVersion": 1,
"position": [
610,
300
]
},
{
"parameters": {
"functionCode": "return [\n {\n json: {\n propertyName: \"aG9sYQ==\"\n }\n }\n]"
},
"name": "Function1",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.function",
"typeVersion": 1,
"position": [
440,
300
]
}
],
"connections": {
"Start": {
"main": [
[
{
"node": "Function1",
"type": "main",
"index": 0
}
]
]
},
"Function1": {
"main": [
[
{
"node": "Function",
"type": "main",
"index": 0
}
]
]
}
}
}Ricardo, your samples works but i have some problem because my data is a pdf file. Decoding looks good.
return [
{
json: {
datapdf: Buffer.from($node["Set"].json["propertyName"], 'base64').toString()
}
}
]
Next i like to use MoveBinaryData. Rught ?

Ricardo, Stefan again.
I have a Base64 Encoded String from Jotform . This i want to convert it to Binary ( I know how it works.) My Question: How i can delete the Header data:image… ?
Thanks,
Stefan
The most basic version would be this:
Parsing may change according to the situation.
Here I assume base64data comes in your-file variable in json input
The format of data is like application/pdf;base64,JVBERi0xLjQKJcfsf
Just by tweaking with splitting you may acquire what you want.
Output would be like:
Check out the data structure section in documentation
You can find the example below
