Hi
I’m trying to build a dynamic URL from a few payloads, but for some reason the resulting first part of the address looks encoded, yet the template output should be plain text?
Here’s the flow which has the PollyURL function written like this.
Here’s the contents of the template node
And here’s the resulting URL that’s built
Any idea why the forward slashes // would be converted ?
That is encoded. It is the URL encoded version of "/".

In short, it shouldn't be like that since "/" is a legitimate character in that section of the URI.
But, because it has been converted to a string, I suspect that it has been urlencoded.
Thanks @TotallyInformation
Using some more debug nodes, I can see it passes fine and completely unaltered through both the Function and the Split nodes, but for some reason the Template node converts/encode it , and just the forward slashes - the full stop/period and colon are untouched ?
Is that a known bug in the software then ?
No it’s standard moustache syntax.
If you don’t want it to convert you need to use. {{{ }}}

Wow, thanks @ukmoose that did the trick ! - but I'm still being a little confused ... ?
- Does that mean everything passed via a Template node is encoded ?
- If so, why were only the forward slashes converted, and not the full stop/period and the colon ?
