Hello guys,

 

i have an issue with the subject line. We send out a new mail with a subject. 

But the subject includes utf8 and it shows uncoded subject now. 

How it looks in outlook:

how it looks in gmail:

 

How can we solve this? 

What i tryed - typed in all new in subject line and hoped the utf will be removed. 

 

 

Hi ​@Alexander50051 - Thanks for reaching out on this.

Could you try creating a brand new Workflow for this reminder, and test it? I’d like to see if the issue carries over to multiple different places like the Event Reminders & Workflows.


Let me know - Thank you!


Hi,

i have 2 workflows with the same issue :) 

both created with different timestamps but i can do it again and test it. give me a few seconds


workflow newly created - same issue - maybe it is an issue with äöü - i will check it fast 


double checked it now - new workflow without and with special char. same issue. utf8 formation in subjectline is the issue. 

 

Looks like that outlook / MS365 can not translate utf8 in subject line. How can i disable this in calendly? 

 

“To ensure correct display of UTF-8 characters in Outlook subject lines, you can configure your email client to prioritize UTF-8 encoding or create rules to filter messages based on subject line content. While you cannot force incoming messages to use a specific encoding, you can adjust Outlook's settings to handle UTF-8 correctly”


Understood, thanks for checking all of this!

Could you send me a screenshot of whats configured in Calendly for both the working and non-working workflow? I don’t believe there is a way to disable this in Calendly, so I can report this for you on your behalf.

Once you send it over, I can take care of it from there.


Hi, sure i can. 

but i checked some more. 
The initial Appointment mail - fine
The follow up mail - broken
cancle appointment - fine

does it matter which eventtype - nope - all are affected new and old.

created a new workflow - mail to host without variables- works

changed to mail to invitee without var- works

added  1 var - utf issue appears :)  

i changed it back to mail to host - and added a var - no issue. 

 

so it looks like its based on send mail to invitee + using at least 1 var.

 

there is no special config. Just the function and selfwritten text - not ccopied + 3-4 var. 

 

You need still the configuration for it? 


Got it - Thanks for all the additional info! Yes, if you could still send over some screenshots of the workflows themselves, I can send it to my product team for them to look over it.

Appreciate it! 🙂

Hope this should work :) 
 

 

 


Thank you so much, I’ll get this over to our team so they can investigate - Just to confirm, the Workflow you shared in the screenshot is the one that shows up incorrectly in Outlook, right?

 


Yes, all workflows have the same issue with mail to invitee. It makes no difference with the content. Only if you use a var its broken when use the fuction send mail to intivee. 

all workflows with send mail to invitee are broken.
