I get a json on webhook paypal with some encoded/urlencode text (firstname) = S%E1ndor, how to convert this to show = Sándor
That was encoded in Windows-1252 encoding, not UTF-8.
You might want to give this module a try:
If all else fails, you can always manually replace the text:

S%E1ndor is a dynamic value, I can´t use replace for all name
Yes, you can. Just put the variable in the first parameter of the replace function.

May you do not understand S%E1ndor that I got on paypal json is a name, so if someone use another name your idea will no work.
For now I am using GPT as a solution.

I think you should be able to set the Paypal output to UTF-8 instead of Windows-1252. If not then you can indeed use a middleware like ChatGPT , or you use 0codekit ( available in Make) and run some custom JS or Python.

No, there is no option.
Every person in the world has a different name, how will I know everyone’s name?
You’ll have to set the correct encoding on PayPal itself, so that they can send the data to Make using UTF-8.
