HTML Decode Encoded Text

🧩 Problem

Encoded strings show & and < instead of human-readable characters. When malformed or unstructured data hits routers, filters, or API connectors, entire automations halt or silently drop records. Teams end up retrying runs, hand-editing payloads, and explaining delays to customers.

💡 Why This Happens

Upstream systems escape strings; you need the raw value. Most automation platforms assume well-formed payloads and do minimal validation. AI models, third-party APIs, and changing vendor schemas drift over time, mixing encodings, formats, and unexpected fields that downstream steps cannot tolerate.
