Hi,

I’d like to create a link out of information submitted through a form. The use case is the following

The URL will be something like:

sampleurl.com?name=rNAME]&address=aaddress]

I understood that there is the Zapier Formatter, but I couldn’t get it running in the way I wanted to.

Hi @ssielmann

Good question.

You may need to use the Formatter to encode certain values to be used in the URL.

Formatter > Text > Encode

Here’s an example.
