This function converts the specified string into a SHA256 hex value hash.
Arguments
SHA256(1,2)
| Ordinal | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | String | True | String to convert |
| 2 | String | False | Character set to use for character-encoding. Valid values are UTF-8 (default) and UTF-16 |
NOTE: The results of the SHA256 hash are considered one-way, meaning they cannot be decrypted.
Example
%%[
var @emailAddress
var @SHA256EmailAddressUTF8
var @SHA256EmailAddressUTF16
set @emailAddress = AttributeValue("emailAddr") /* value from attribute or DE column in send context */
set @emailAddress = "lily@limedash.com" /* or a literal value */
set @SHA256EmailAddressUTF8 = SHA256(@emailAddress)
set @SHA256EmailAddressUTF16 = SHA256(@emailAddress, "UTF-16")
]%%
emailAddress: %%=v(@emailAddress)=%%
<br>SHA256EmailAddressUTF8: %%=v(@SHA256EmailAddressUTF8)=%%
<br>SHA256EmailAddressUTF16: %%=v(@SHA256EmailAddressUTF16)=%%Output
emailAddress: lily@limedash.com
