Compliance teams working with blockchain data face a recurring operational challenge: risk assessment platforms generate valuable intelligence, but extracting and routing that data into day-to-day workflows requires either technical resources or manual effort. Global Ledger's integration with Zapier eliminates that gap.
Global Ledger now extends its risk intelligence capabilities into Zapier's automation layer.
Now compliance and operations teams can trigger risk scores, generate reports, and route results directly within the tools they already use — Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack, and thousands more — with no code required.
Find out how this works in practice based on real-life examples.

Global Ledger & Zapier: What’s the Integration About?
Global Ledger's integration with Zapier connects blockchain risk intelligence to the tools compliance teams already work in — without requiring API development or custom scripts.
At its core, Global Ledger uses Zapier as a bridge to connect to users’ tools: a new value added to a connected spreadsheet triggers an automatic call to the Global Ledger API, which fetches the requested data and returns it to the same workspace. The whole process runs in the background, with no manual steps required between input and output.
Thanks to this integration, compliance teams can now automate the most time-intensive parts of their risk assessment workflows — collecting risk reports, performing risk score checks, and gathering results into a single workspace — without pulling in technical resources or switching between platforms.
To see what this looks like in practice, let's walk through two real use cases: how to automate PDF risk report filing and how to pull transaction risk scores in bulk.
Global Ledger & Zapier: Use Cases
The integration supports a range of compliance workflows, from retrieving transaction risk scores to generating and filing PDF reports. Below are two of the most common use cases to illustrate how teams are putting it to work.
Case 1. Automated PDF Reports
The workflow: A compliance officer has several blockchain addresses for which they need to download risk reports in PDF format and save them to Google Drive. For those without the technical skills to work with the Global Ledger API directly, their only option is to go to Global Ledger, download reports one by one, upload them to Google Drive, and manually add each link to the spreadsheet for future reference.
Before the integration
The process meant going address by address — opening Global Ledger, searching for each one, downloading the report, uploading it to Google Drive, and manually pasting the link back into the spreadsheet. Functional, but time-intensive at any meaningful volume.
After the integration
When address hashes are added to a Google Sheet, the integration solution will automatically find the report, add it to a Google Drive folder and add a link to the report into the same spreadsheet — no platform switching, no manual uploads.
What this solves: The integration eliminates the repetitive file management loop entirely. Reports are retrieved, filed, and referenced automatically. The compliance team can move straight to review and action.
Watch the video to get more details about this case.
Case 2. Automated Transaction Risk Score
The workflow: A compliance team has a batch of blockchain transaction hashes and needs risk scores pulled and assigned to team members for review — all within their existing Google Sheets environment.
Before the integration
Each hash had to be checked individually. The process meant copying a hash, pasting it into the Global Ledger platform, manually entering the risk score into the table, and repeating for every item on the list. Even for moderately sized batches, this adds up quickly.
After the integration
Transaction hashes are pasted into the Google Sheet. Zapier polls the sheet automatically, sends the data to Global Ledger, and returns the risk scores to the same spreadsheet within minutes. From there, rows can be assigned to team members, reviewed against thresholds, or used to trigger follow-up actions.
What this solves: The integration removes the need to query the platform individually for each transaction. Your compliance team can handle higher volumes with the same resources.

How It Works
The integration runs on a simple trigger-action logic. When a new value is added to a connected spreadsheet, Global Ledger receives the request via Zapier, processes it, and returns the result to the same workspace. Here is what happens at each step.
Step 1. Start of action
For example, as a new blockchain address or transaction hash is entered into a connected Google spreadsheet, this entry acts as the trigger that initiates the entire workflow.
Step 2. Global Ledger receives the request
Once a new value is detected, the request is automatically sent to Global Ledger in the background via Zapier. No manual action is required — the call happens within minutes of the data being added.
Step 3. Global Ledger processes the request
Depending on the workflow, Global Ledger retrieves the relevant data — a transaction risk score, a risk report, or both — drawing on its verified database to return the same results available through the full version of the platform.
Step 4. Results are returned to your workspace
The output is delivered back to the same spreadsheet: risk scores appear in the corresponding row, PDF reports are saved to a Google Drive or Dropbox folder, and file links are written back into the sheet for immediate reference.
From there, the data is ready to use. Rows can be assigned to team members (for example, check the wallet with a high risk score), reviewed against risk thresholds, or used to trigger further steps — such as a Slack alert or an email notification — all from within the existing workflow.
How to Integrate
To activate the integration, two things are needed: a Zapier account and a Global Ledger API key. Every request processed through the integration is logged in Zapier’s activity log and recorded in Global Ledger’s Compliance Memory section, maintaining a full audit trail.
Thanks to the Global Ledger Compliance Memory feature, compliance teams have instant access to full action history.
Global Ledger's integration with Zapier supports a wide range of tools beyond Google Sheets — including Microsoft Excel, Dropbox, and Slack. This means teams can connect Global Ledger's risk intelligence to their existing stack rather than changing it.
Conclusion
Automating compliance workflows means fewer manual steps, lower risk of human error, and more time for teams to focus on the work that actually requires their expertise. With the Global Ledger and Zapier integration, that automation is accessible without API development, custom scripts, or additional technical resources.
For teams looking to reduce manual effort in their compliance workflows, the integration offers a practical starting point — connecting risk intelligence to the tools they use every day — to make day-to-day compliance work simpler and more efficient.
