Convert from base64 to CSV

Jozef_783863

How can you convert base64 into a CSV?

The base64 value comes from an external system. We would like to convert it to a CSV file.

Is a dedicated action our only solution? (I submitted the Idea shared below)

Is there a known service, like ConvertAPI, that can accomplish the conversion of base64 to CSV?

In a field formula, you can apply:

value =
result = Buffer.from(fields['field-with-base64'], 'base64').toString();

and that will get the result CSV as another text field. From there you can save text as a file and you have a CSV. However, doing data processing like this will always be more risky than retrieving a csv file and saving directly as a file field, as you could hit a field limit if the CSV file is too large (in either base64 or utf8 encoded format).

I located an online tool that does not log data to servers. It is all done in the browser using JavaScript.

If recommended, we can proceed with using this online option.
