Demonstrate Basic Cryptographic Operations
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow provides a simple, manually triggered example to showcase n8n's Crypto node. Easily apply various cryptographic operations to a defined string value, making it ideal for quick tests and understanding basic data security features within your automations.
About This Workflow
This beginner-friendly n8n workflow offers a direct demonstration of the powerful Crypto node. Initiated by a manual trigger, it processes a static text string, 'n8n rocks!'. The core function is handled by the Crypto node, designed to perform various cryptographic operations like hashing, encoding, or basic encryption. While this example uses a fixed value, the Crypto node is highly versatile for transforming dynamic data. It serves as an excellent starting point for anyone looking to incorporate fundamental data manipulation or security features into their n8n workflows, from developers securing sensitive information to automators creating unique identifiers.
Key Features
- Manual triggering for instant execution and testing.
- Utilizes n8n's integrated Crypto node for data manipulation.
- Capable of performing various cryptographic operations (e.g., hashing, encoding, encryption).
- Simple configuration for processing static or dynamic input values.
- Foundation for securing data or generating unique IDs within workflows.
How To Use
- Start the Workflow: Add a 'Manual Trigger' node to your canvas. This node will start the execution when you click 'Execute Workflow'.
- Add the Crypto Node: Drag and drop a 'Crypto' node onto the canvas and connect it to the 'Manual Trigger' node.
- Configure Input Value: In the 'Crypto' node's parameters, locate the 'Value' field. In this example, it's pre-filled with
"n8n rocks!". You can change this to any string you wish to process. - Choose Operation (Optional): By default, the Crypto node might have a default operation selected (e.g., "Hash"). You can expand the 'Operation' dropdown to choose from options like SHA256, MD5, Base64 encode/decode, etc.
- Execute and Observe: Click the 'Execute Workflow' button in the n8n editor. The output of the Crypto node will show the result of the cryptographic operation on your input value.
