Overview
The 'Text Encryption' node in n8n facilitates the decryption of encrypted text strings within workflows. By providing the necessary encryption key and the encrypted input string, users can retrieve the original plaintext, enabling secure data handling and processing.
Use Case Examples
- Decrypting user credentials stored in an encrypted format.
- Retrieving sensitive information from encrypted logs for analysis.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| encryptionKey | The credential containing the key used for decrypting the input string. |
| input | The encrypted text string that needs to be decrypted. |
Output
JSON
decryptedText- The original plaintext obtained after decryption.
Dependencies
- An API key credential for accessing the decryption service.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure that the correct encryption key is provided; mismatched keys will result in decryption errors.
- Verify that the input string is properly encrypted; incorrect encryption methods can lead to decryption failures.
- Check for any connectivity issues with the decryption service; network problems may prevent successful decryption.
