1.Monitor incoming submissions
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and form payload tools to extract submission fields and normalize inputs to hash contact identifiers.
Create hashed contact records in a secure sheet
Automatically detect personal identifier submissions across Webhooks by Zapier and Code by Zapier, and route hashed contact storage to Google Sheets. Automatically create and update hashed row data when payload received, PII fields detected, or submissions arrive—so you can hash identifiers, store privacy-safe rows, and prevent duplicates without manual redaction.
How this automation protects privacy in your contact records
When personal identifiers arrive from a form or API, unmasked storage creates compliance and breach risk. This automation normalizes and hashes identifiers, then creates privacy-safe rows in Google Sheets—so your team can reduce manual redaction.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
