Hex Decode Strings from Legacy Systems

🧩 Problem

Legacy webhooks send hex strings that need to be human readable. 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.

πŸ’‘ Why This Happens

Older systems transmit hex to avoid encoding issues. 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.
