In Logic apps how to pass a single backslash (\) as string in another action?

Question

Hello there,

• I am making an logic app which has one http request action.
• Inside that http body I want to pass a variable which has a string with backslash
• But when I tried every single backslash was transformed into two backslash
• Can anyone has a solution for this?

Here I have attached an image of what I am passing in string VS. what the second action take that string as.

Answer 1

Have you tried "\" two backslashes as that is often translated the other way to a single as its a special character

Answer 2

Hi @Bharvi Bhut ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for the question.

When edited in design view, logic apps adds a backslash to the original backslash to cancel it out. If you go to Code view you can remove it manually.

From:

"inputs": "This is Test Data \\n And this is new line 1 \\n New line 2"  

To:

"inputs": "This is Test Data \n And this is new line 1 \n New line 2"
