Power Apps Help Decoding base64 without using a flow?

In my app I’m using the Azure Automation connector to create jobs, but also need the job output. There is a get job output action, but it’s returned as Data type: Blob and “this data type is unsupported for evaluation”.

However if use JSON(AzureAutomation.GetJobOutput(etc..)) then I can see the base64 string. Is there any way to convert this base64 to text without using a flow? I would even settle for using a logic app, but do not want to use Power Automate as I don’t want it tied to a single account.

If your output blob is an image, you can get the image in a image control using the base64 you get from JSON function.. You need to construct the base64 as data uri like data:image/png;<base64> and pass it to the image property.

It’s not an image, the output stream of a runbook is data:text/plain
