URL Decode
Turns a URL-encoded text (with %20, %26 and similar codes) back into plain text.
URL Decode turns a URL-encoded text back into plain text: %20 becomes a space, %26 becomes &, %C8%99 becomes ศ, and so on. Use it to read values that arrive encoded, for example query parameters from a webhook or a redirect URL.
Add the action
In the Process Designer toolbox, open String, then URLs, and pick URL Decode (or type URL Decode in the search box).

%that is not followed by a valid code is left as it is; the step does not fail. - An empty input fails the step with the message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
