A fine idea, but you're going to need a webhook for both sides (encryption and decryption).

 

In the past, you could encrypt using Velocity alone, though you still needed Call Webhook and a remote service to decrypt the encrypted query param back into plain-text fields.

 

Now, you need to do both via webhook.

Thanks @SanfordWhiteman while doing encrypt and decryption function via Webhook we need to create custom field to store the value. Since we are directly tracing this UTM value in google analytics only , in that case how to handle decryption in GA?

I don't believe there's any way to decrypt hit data in GA itself. You could connect a Sheet to the data and call the decryption function from Apps Script, though.
