Masking workflow data

Explore how data masking and unmasking function.

About this task

Consider a workflow that retrieves the details of a card from your Trello account and sends the file information to you through email.

You can mask the critical input and output data of the workflow. Use the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Go to the configuration window of the action for the data you want to mask.
  2. Click Next. You are redirected to the Test this action window. Here, you see the input data that is associated with the action.
  3. Select the Mask All checkbox to mask the entire input object.
  4. To mask the action output data, Test the input data first.
    You can now view the action output data.
  5. Select the Mask All checkbox to mask the entire output object.

What to do next

Note: Data masking at runtime applies only to parameters. Avoid exposing sensitive data through explicit logging or by passing it to other services or external client applications.

If you submit the workflow to webMethods Integration recipes, the values of the masked keys remain masked when a user imports it to an account. Similarly, if you share this workflow with other users, the values of the masked keys remain masked.
