Hi Jonathan,

There are a few ways to convert data to base64.

If you are using an Embedded workflow then we do have a [Base64 Encode Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/logic/base64-encode/) and [Base64 Decode Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/logic/base64-decode/).

However if you are using any other type of workflow, you can use a [format helper](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/accessing-payload-data/#format-helpers) like this {{ encodeBase64 data.str }}. Or you can also use the Function node, and transform your UTF8 string into a [buffer](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v16.x/docs/api/buffer.html) and then into Base64. I would recommend you use the format helper as the Function node will take longer to complete than using the format helpers on a specific node that allows templates.

Hope this helps,  
Erin
