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
- Go to the configuration window of the action for the data you want to mask.
- Click Next. You are redirected to the Test this action window. Here, you see the input data that is associated with the action.
- Select the Mask All checkbox to mask the entire input object.
- To mask the action output data, Test the input data
first. You can now view the action output data.
- Select the Mask All checkbox to mask the entire output object.
What to do next
Note: Data masking is not effective at run time; users can view both input and output data in the
execution history.
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.
