URL Encode

↑ ← →

This is an upcoming feature. URL Encode is planned for general availability in version 10.1.

The Encoding tab of the URL Encode Action specifies the source data and determines whether it is processed as a complete URL or as an individual URL component. URL encoding converts spaces, non-ASCII characters, and other characters that require escaping into a transport-safe representation.

Provide the input directly or dynamically through the Variable Wizard, and then choose the mode that matches how the result will be used. Space representation, hexadecimal letter case, character set, and optional result storage are configured separately on the Options tab.

Encoding	Details
Input data	Specifies the URL or URL component to encode. Enter the value directly or use the Variable Wizard to provide dynamic content from files, Triggers, previous Actions, variables, web responses, and other sources.
Encoding mode	Specifies how the input data is interpreted and encoded: Full · Encodes a complete URL while preserving structural delimiters such as :, /, ?, &, and =. Use this mode for complete web addresses containing paths, queries, and fragments. Component only · Encodes the entire input as one URL component, including reserved delimiter characters. Use this mode for individual query values, path segments, filenames, identifiers, and other values inserted into a larger URL.
Variable Wizard	Use dynamic data input—substitute a parameter from a file, web, connected Trigger, other Actions, date and time presets, etc.

Interconnect

• URL Encode integration and auditing—Variables (dynamic data) and Events (recorded activity). Use Variables to encode URLs and components generated by connected Triggers or previous Actions, and use Events to track successful or unsuccessful encoding for auditing and workflow control.

Along with the URL Encode Action, Automation Workshop includes a set of related tools within the Encoding family designed to help process and transform data across different workflows.

Notes

• Use Full mode for complete URLs and Component only mode for individual values. Encoding a complete URL as a component also encodes its structural delimiters.
• Choose the appropriate space representation on the Options tab. The %20 is commonly used in URLs, while + is typically used in form-encoded data and query parameters.
