I have created a complex link with around 20 parameters that I want to use in a link in Mailersend.com.

The link looks like:
http://example.com/?parameter1=value1&parameter2=value2&parameter3=value3… etc.

The problem is that some parameters contain special characters, spaces etc. Therefore I need to encode the URL.

Which is the best way to do this? I saw that Zapier has a “URL Encode” feature. Do I have to encode each parameter value (i.e. value1, value2, value 3 etc.) individually or can I encode the entire URL?

So a URL would look like this?

Before encoding:
http://example.com/?parameter1=value1&parameter2=value2 with a space&parameter3=value3 with special characters & and ?

After encoding:
http://example.com/?parameter1=value1&parameter2=value2 with a space&parameter3=value3 with special characters %26 and %3F

Is that correct?

Thanks for your help,
Michael

I have tried to encode the whole url incl. https:// but does not seem to work.
