# AES_DECRYPT

*[View on tines.com](https://www.tines.com/docs/formulas/functions/aes-decrypt/)*

Note: AES_ENCRYPT and AES_DECRYPT are now deprecated. Please use either TINES_ENCRYPT/TINES_DECRYPT or OPENSSL_ENCRYPT/OPENSSL_DECRYPT instead.

Decrypts text using AES

The input must be AES-256-CBC Base64 encoded or be the direct output of AES_ENCRYPT. An initialization vector can optionally be passed as a third argument.

**Categories:** Encryption

## Syntax

```
AES_DECRYPT(encoded_text, key, [iv])
```

## Examples

### Example 1

Formula:

```
AES_DECRYPT(my_action.encrypted_message, CREDENTIAL.secret_key)
```
