Web Hook URL Error when using Emoji Encoded Charac...

I am using a BOT to call a webhook which sends whatsapp message with the text passed through URL. It is working fine with simple text characters. But when i use emoji encoded characters in the URL text, Appsheet is throwing the following error when i try to test it

" Error 1 : The webhook url is not well formed"

the text which i am trying to send is given below:

Test

the encoded text is given below which is used in webhook url

text=%F0%9F%9F%A2%20Test

Doesn’t Appsheet Webhook URL support these emoji characters encoded. When i directly enter the URL in browser, the whatsapp message is getting send with emoji successfully. But through appsheet however the error is showing up.

Please post a screenshot of the template portion that generates the entire web hook URL.

Below is the complete Webhook URL @Steve

https://api.callmebot.com/whatsapp.php?source=AppSheet&phone=<<[Mobile]>>&text=<<[URL Text]>>&apikey=<<[API]>>

When [URL Text] = %F0%9F%9F%A2%20Test

I’m getting Webhook url is not well formed error

But when [URL Text] = %20Test

Webhook is getting executed without any error.

So the emoji encoded characters %F0%9F%9F%A2 is causing the error i guess.

Hmmm… It certainly looks to me like it should work. I’m afraid the best I can do is suggest you engage Support for help here. This may be a bug.

I also feel the same. Thanks for the reply @Steve
