Decode Query
Decode a URL-encoded query string into a query object.
A query string is the remainder of a string after the ? question mark in a URL. Certain special characters, such as space, :, ?, or / need to be encoded because they have special meaning in the URL itself.
This function card is the inverse of Encode Query.

Example
In https://www.example.com/searchcustomers?name=John%20Doe®ion=North%20America, the query string is the part starting with name. The Decode Query function card converts this URL to this object:
Copy
{
"name": "John Doe",
"region": "North America"
}Once in this object form, it is much easier to extract particular query parameters using the Get or Get Multiple function cards.
