Securely store access tokens to use in Webhooks

Hi ​@Plinio moraes 

If you need to build a private integration that can be done on the Zapier Developer Platform: https://developer.zapier.com

Other non-private options:

• Global Variables (public)
  • https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/35720226565773-Create-reusable-variables-to-use-in-Zaps
• Storage
  • https://zapier.com/apps/storage/integrations#triggers-and-actions

Zapier Functions is an option: https://zapier.com/functions

I’ve implemented this solution.

1. Connection Configuration: I configured a connection within Zapier Storage.
2. Token Storage: I'm storing the token by associating it with a uuid4. This approach prevents the token from being directly visible in the Zap's configuration or within the Zap Run logs.

While this method effectively addresses the immediate need for security and obscurity, it feels like a workaround.

I'm wondering if Zapier offers a native "environment variable" equivalent or another recommended method for handling such sensitive data. My goal is to find a solution that is both secure and adheres to best practices for managing credentials within the Zapier ecosystem.

Did you try Zapier Functions?

https://functions.zapier.com

Use Secrets in Functions: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/32943630229261-Use-secrets-in-Zapier-Functions

In Zapier Functions, secrets let you securely store data, such as an API key, which can be referenced in your Functions code files.

So for now, I’ll maintain the solution I created with Zapier Storage,

I’m working my way around learning how to work with Zapier functions.

Do you know if there is the possibility to work with multiple triggers using Zapier Functions?

I know I can add more than one trigger to the function, but how do I handle then?
