Question

Hi All 

Currently have an issue where there is unicode being input into the clicksend message. This is taking the SMS count from 2 to 6 sms needing to be sent. As a result this has dramatically increased my cost on SMS. How do I remove the unicode from Zapier into clicksend?

Hi @Jeremy Pillai 

Good question.

A Code step can be configured to find/replace the unicode.
