I use Postman to create our webinars. When using a CSV to import webinar data, descriptions that contain " or ’ get rejected as bad requests. How can I escape the quotes in either excel or the parameter. I tried putting \ before each quote in excel.

Parameter is

“agenda”: “{{Description}}”,

@evieira Hope you will be fine. You need to use anyone quote

e.g

If the description is double quoted

`"agenda":"Learn with NAK 'Youtube Channel'"`

Then you can use a single quote inside the description

And if the description is single quoted then you can use double quotes inside the description

`"agenda":'Learn with NAK "Youtube Channel"'`
