This is an upcoming feature. URL Encode is planned for general availability in version 10.1.Automation Workshop includes the URL Encode Action that converts URLs and individual URL components into a transport-safe representation. Characters that require escaping are replaced with percent-encoded byte values, helping data pass reliably through websites, APIs, query strings, redirects, and other URL-based systems.
Input can be entered directly or supplied dynamically through Variable Wizard. Choose whether the source is a complete URL or an individual component, then configure space representation, hexadecimal letter case, character set, and optional result storage to match the destination requirements.
Features & highlights
- Encode a complete URL while keeping structural characters such as
:,/,?,&, and=unchanged. - Encode only part of a URL, such as a query value, path segment, filename, or identifier.
- Choose whether spaces are encoded as
%20or+. - Choose uppercase or lowercase hexadecimal letters in percent-encoded values.
- Encode text using UTF-8, ASCII, or ISO-8859-1 character sets.
- Use dynamic values from variables, files, Triggers, previous Actions, web responses, and other Variable Wizard sources.
Usage examples
- Prepare search terms, customer names, and other dynamic values for use in URL query parameters.
- Encode filenames, identifiers, and path segments before inserting them into web addresses.
- Build complete URLs from variables while preserving their scheme, host, path, query, and fragment structure.
- Encode multilingual text and special characters before sending requests to websites, APIs, or web services.
- Normalize percent-encoded output to the uppercase or lowercase hexadecimal style expected by a destination system.
