# URL Decode

The **URL Decode** block converts an encoded URL back to its original format. It reverses URL encoding.

Steps

1. Add a new node in your flow
2. Go to **Formatter → Text Formatter**
3. Select **URL Decode**
4. Select or create **Authentication** (Label + API Key)
5. Enter the **Encoded URL/Text**
6. Click **Run & Save**
7. Check **Run History → Output Response** to see the decoded result

This is useful when receiving encoded webhook data or decoding tracking links.<br>
