Thank you all.
How do I restrict it to encrypt only once. If user runs for the send time it must not encrypt

simple buddy
next to this encrypt text activity use a assign activity with a variable of type boolean
like this
encrypted_bool =True
where encrypted_bool is a variable of type boolean with a default value of FALSE in the variable panel
–keep these two activities within the if condition buddy and put condition like this buddy
encrypted_bool = False
–if this condition passes it will go to the THEN part of if condition where you will be having these two activities (encrypt text and assign activity)
–when running for first time this boolean variable will be of default value FALSE, and it will go to the THEN part and once encrypted, because of the assign activity the boolean variable will get assigned with TRUE
–so when it is run second time by another user, as the boolean value is now assigned with TRUE it will not go for THEN part rather will go to ELSE part and thus wont encrypt

Thats all buddy you are done
Cheers @KarthikBallary
