# Wrong URL escaping function

 * Hello,
 * `Line 93: Postman/Extensions/Core/Notifications/PostmanNotify.php`
 * The submitted notification URLs are being run through the `esc_url` function.
   However, this escapes HTML entities (like `&`) for display purposes. This is 
   causing our Power Automate webhook URLs, which include `&` symbols, to not function.
   The `esc_url_raw` function should be used instead. Note that there might be other
   places in the plugin code where this function swap might need to occur.

 * Yeah, that works fine. Note that the notification URL needs to be re-saved under
   Settings > Notifications in order for it to be set correctly in the database.

 * As a feature request, please add a way to test the notification. Currently the
   only way to do this is to intentionally save the wrong SMTP info and then send
   a test email.
