Is there a way to use sha256 modifier in Flow?

[Markus10]

Hi,

I try to push some data into google spreadsheets. But unfortunately I need to encrypt this data via sha256.

I'm aware that there is a liquid modifier for sha256, but it seems that this modifier does not work in flow.

Is there any other solution for this use case?

thank you

I think sha256 filter should be supported in flow. So, I just created a bug report for this problem.

Hello! Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm also getting this error when I try to use sha256 in Shopify flow (specifically, in a POST request via a 'Send HTTP request' step)

The request was unsuccessful
Liquid error: undefined filter sha256

For anyone else who discovers this thread, I've had the following response from Support via Email:

"The Flow app uses the base version of Liquid which doesn't support sha256 at this time." 

So it's not an error, it's just not yet in the tool.

I managed to find a workaround using the 'Run Code' tool and some pure JavaScript in the meantime. It's by no means perfect or ideal, but it works in lieu of any other options.

I hope this helps someone having the same issues as I was!
