Escape Quotes in JSON for Zapier Paths

🧩 Problem

Zapier fails when AI or webhook payloads include unescaped double quotes inside strings. 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 tools don’t sanitize strings; smart quotes and embedded quotes slip through. 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.
