HTTP GET variables cannot handle line breaks

I'm trying to forward my SMS, and %SMSRB has line breaks, but when sending using `HTTP GET request`, I only get its first line.

The line breaks in %SMSRB has to be processed/URL encoded too.

Please help. Thank you.

hi how is it?

You can use the "Variable Convert" action to URL encode some text if needed :) Hope this helps.

Task: SMS2Tele
    A1: Variable Set [
         Name: %api_key
         To: 0000000000:aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
         Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]
    A2: Variable Set [
         Name: %chat_id
         To: -0000000000
         Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]
    A3: HTTP Request [
         Method: GET
         URL: https://api.telegram.org/bot%api_key/sendMessage
         Query Parameters: chat_id:%chat_id
         text:[%SMSRN] %evtprm3
         Timeout (Seconds): 30
         Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]
```
1. I have redacted my API key and chat ID
2. I have since changed %SMSRB to %evtprm3, but same problem, only the first line of the SMS is received in Telegram
3. That led me to conclude that the contents passed to "text:" is not URL encoded properly
