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

The Options tab of the URL Encode Action allows you to configure how spaces and percent-encoded characters are represented, select the source character set, and optionally store the result. These settings help the encoded output match the conventions expected by websites, APIs, forms, and other receiving systems.

Choose whether spaces are encoded as %20 or +, and select uppercase or lowercase hexadecimal digits for percent-encoded bytes. The character set determines how non-ASCII text is converted to bytes before URL encoding.

OptionsDetails
Encode spaces as Specifies how space characters are represented in the encoded output:
  • Percent-encoded · %20 · Encodes each space as %20, the standard representation for spaces in URLs and URI components.
  • Form-encoded · + · Encodes each space as +, as commonly used in HTML form data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded query parameters.
Hex case Specifies the letter case used for hexadecimal digits in percent-encoded values:
  • Uppercase · %2F · Uses uppercase hexadecimal letters, such as %2F, %3A, and %C3%A4.
  • Lowercase · %2f · Uses lowercase hexadecimal letters, such as %2f, %3a, and %c3%a4.

Both formats represent the same encoded bytes. Choose the style required by the destination system or preferred for consistency.
Charset Specifies the character set used to convert input text into bytes before URL encoding:
  • UTF-8 · Encodes Unicode text using UTF-8. Recommended for modern websites, APIs, and multilingual content.
  • ASCII · Encodes basic 7-bit ASCII text. Suitable only when the input contains standard ASCII characters.
  • ISO-8859-1 · Encodes text using the single-byte Latin-1 character set commonly required by legacy systems.
Also, store result inThe result of the encoding operation is already accessible via the Variable Wizard. Optionally, choose an existing variable to store the result. To create an empty variable, use the Set Variable Action.
This Action is enabledAn Action is executed only if it is enabled. Otherwise, it will be automatically skipped (completely ignored) from the Task flow.
Use custom display nameRename this Action, to make a human-readable workflow that will help you to find, read, and make sense of the Task structure later.
Advanced fallback optionsManage the advanced fallback options—select which error types will lead to automatic execution of predefined workaround operations.
Log only errorsDo not log information and warning messages for this Action. It may be useful to keep the log file small and tidy on production systems.
