These encoded characters won't cause the URL to be mis-interpreted allowing you to send notifications at will. Below is a chart of special characters and the value you should set them: -| Character | Escape Code | Description +| Character | URL Encoded | Description | ----------- | -------- | ----------- | **%** | **%25** | The percent sign itself is the starting value for defining the %XX character sets. | **&** | **%26** | The ampersand sign is how a URL knows to stop reading the current variable and move onto the next. If this existed within a password or username, it would only read 'up' to this character. You'll need to escape it if you make use of it.
