Generate hash
Hashing combined inputs ensures a fixed-length unique ID.Now, you can concatenate strings and hash them with a no-code quick action.
This quick action helps you concatenate a set of strings and calculate a hash of the combined string. Hashing is useful for password storage, data integrity, and digital signatures and speeds up data retrieval while requiring less storage.
-
In your workflow, go to + Add step > Integrations > Quick action.
-
Select the Generate hash operation.
-
Enter the input strings or use {} to refer to data already used in the workflow. Tip: the string can be static or dynamic and have the following format: string, integer, boolean or JSON
-
Select the separator for the strings. For example, it can be an underscore(
_) or a pipe (|). -
Select the hashing method that best fits your needs.
Hashing methods
- Message-digest hash functions such as MD5 hash digital signatures. Once hashed, the signature is transformed into a shorter value called a message digest. This method is good for error-checking purposes such as detecting file corruption,
- SHA-256 is a standard algorithm for creating a larger message digest. It’s useful for database storage and retrieval, digital signatures, and cryptographic security. SHA-512 is stronger than SHA-256.
- BLAKE2b is efficient in hashing digital signatures and fast hashing for large data processing (due to high performance).
