Outbound Messages for Encrypted Fields

Hi there

I've been trying to understand if I'm mistaken or not.

According to the help, (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.securityImplGuide.meta/securityImplGuide/fields_about_encrypted_fields.htm), 

Encrypted text fields:
Are not available for: Salesforce Classic Mobile, Connect Offline, Salesforce for Outlook, lead conversion, workflow rule criteria or formulas, formula fields, outbound messages, default values, and Web-to-Lead and Web-to-Case forms.

However, I tried and I am able to send out encrypted text fields in my outbound message.  It is true I can't use it in workflow rule criteria or formula, but I can send out those encrypted fields.

Is it the documentation that hasn't been updated yet?

Thanks
King

does your user have the permission "view encrypted data" if so, yes, *you* can send outbound messages with that data, but that doesn't mean non-admins or other profiles without that permission will not.

Hi KevinP

Actually I'm using the standard system admin profile, which does not have View Encrypted Data by default.

Thanks
