%0D%0A indicates a line break or a newline character. Try using Trim text on your Id variable before using it in the URL.

Hi

I am also getting this issue and have tried trim, removing line breaks & carriage returns. I have even typed the URL manually to ensure there is nothing afterwards

TRIM(REPLACE(REPLACE(URLLink, CHAR(13), ''), CHAR(10), ''))

Cool. But please be aware that PAD does not support expressions such as TRIM(), REPLACE() and similar. It has actions called Trim text and Replace text that can do it. They need to be used completely differently from what you were trying there in your previous message.

It can be made to work without using funky workarounds such as keystrokes to populate the address bar in your browser. You just need to use them properly.
