The above link works correctly when you input it into the browser. When using it from an Adalo button, Link → website, it does not carry the date to Google correctly. Any ideas why this might be, or a solution? Thanks! ---

One solution that works is making that long link into a TinyURL link, then it works from an Adalo button. But not really practical for what I need. ---

I’m using an ICS-URL and I have the same problem. In the TestFlight version of the app there’s a popup with “Could not load link”. ---

Do you have ICS link working on previewer? I am trying to use ICS links and having issues. ---

Yes, interestingly it works on previewer, but not on TestFlight. ---

I’ve noticed the same, also using a button inside the HTML renderer component. ---

Hi @theadaloguy, Interesting question 🙂 The problem lies within %2F in between the times 20210513T050213Z 20210514T050213Z Short solution: to make it work, replace %2F with / (forward slash) in your External Link. Worked for me in the preview. Longer explanation: seems that Adalo does URL encoding when working with external links. So, in browser link %2F transforms to “/”. But Adalo transforms it to %252F: it thinks that % should be encoded, encodes it to %25, and leaves 2F as it is. You can copy and compare 2 addresses from address string in the browser and you’ll immediately notice the difference. An interesting question is why Adalo doesn’t do the same with %20, and how this encoding of % could be avoided… Best regards, Victor. ---

A bit of a different problem. I’m actually just finishing up on a service right now to fix this.
