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.

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

hi how is it?

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