SHA1(stringToConvert, charSet)

The SHA1() function has two parameters:

stringToConvert (string): Required. The string to encode.
charSet (string): The character set to use for encoding. Accepted values are UTF-8 and UTF-16. The default value is UTF-8.

To use this function, pass it a string.

%%=SHA1("This is a string of text.")=%%

The function outputs an SHA-1 hash of the provided string: 0af2f4853cc89dc1e1efe397ca334ce7a19d14da

You can also generate the hash using UTF-16 encoding, as in this example.

%%=SHA1("This is a string of text.", "UTF-16")=%%

The function outputs an SHA-1 hash that uses UTF-16 encoding: 1a36453a2f2c1bf17dcc763321e5e35268e5e4c6
