Turn a text into a fixed fingerprint (SHA-256, SHA-1 or MD5).
util.hash
In a flow
“Works out hash text whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
Hash the email before saving it.
What it does
Turn a text into a fixed fingerprint (SHA-256, SHA-1 or MD5). It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Utility & web in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for odds and ends: turn a text into a fixed fingerprint (SHA-256, SHA-1 or MD5).
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Text Text
-
The text to hash. Variables allowed.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.

If it's empty: Empty when the step didn't make one (it stopped early or was skipped); steps reading it get nothing.
