Support for Base64 encode and decode within Automation Script

[Karlstens]

I don't understand how both btoa() and atob() methods are supported within the Airtable Scripting App Extension, but not within an Automation Scripting Action.

Base64 encode and decode is an absolute staple in system integrations. Can it please be included to the Automation Scripting environment?

To get me out of a tight spot, I have used the below function to substitute btoa()

function btoa(str) {
  let characters = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/';
  let result = '';
  let i = 0;
  let char1, char2, char3;
  
  while (i < str.length) {
    char1 = str.charCodeAt(i++);
    char2 = str.charCodeAt(i++);
    char3 = str.charCodeAt(i++);
    
    result += characters.charAt(char1 >> 2);
    result += characters.charAt(((char1 & 3) << 4) | (char2 >> 4));
    result += characters.charAt(((char2 & 15) << 2) | (char3 >> 6));
    result += characters.charAt(char3 & 63);
  }
  
  return result;
}

I think that this is rather unnecessary...
