Modifier :urlencode

URL-encode the value. Example: {Company:101:urlencode} gives Acme+Widgets+%26+Co.+%3Cb%3ENorth%3C%2Fb%3E+Branch%2C+serving+the+%22Tri-County%22+area+since+1923. On the test form, this field is {Company:101} (Single line text).

How to use it

Pass a value in a link

Spaces become +, and characters like @ and & are encoded, so the link still works.

Write

https://example.com/search?email={Contact Email:5:urlencode}&name={Full Name:1:urlencode}

Left out

Field kinds	Why
Consent · Calculation · Product (single) · Product (hidden) · Name · Address	Outputs nothing on the whole field. Gravity Forms has no single value for this field as a whole, so the tag outputs nothing and so does any modifier. Use one part instead, like .3 for a first name.
Date	Needs a date format first. GravityView would change the stored date (2024-03-19), which has no letters. Add “Custom date format” or “Relative time” first.
Phone, international format	Works on the stored record. An international phone field stores a record like {"country":"US",…}. GravityView would change that record, not the number people see.
Repeater	Changes nothing on this field. It leaves this field as it is: a number has no letters and is one word, and a repeater is shown as a table these steps do not change.
