Automate Token Generation with Airtable Integration
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automates the secure generation and validation of API tokens. It leverages Airtable for client credential management, ensuring robust authentication and efficient token refreshes.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to streamline the process of issuing and validating API access tokens. It begins by receiving a webhook request containing client credentials. The workflow then meticulously validates these credentials against data stored in an Airtable base, ensuring only authorized clients can proceed. Upon successful validation, a secure, long token is generated using a JavaScript code snippet. This token can then be used for subsequent API interactions. The entire process is built with robust error handling, providing specific feedback for invalid requests or credentials. The included Airtable base provides a ready-to-use example for managing client IDs and secrets.
Key Features
- Secure API Token Generation: Automatically creates unique and long API tokens.
- Airtable Integration: Seamlessly manages client credentials and IDs within Airtable.
- Robust Input Validation: Ensures requests contain only required client ID and secret fields.
- Real-time Validation: Checks client ID and secret against your Airtable data.
- Error Handling: Provides clear error responses for invalid credentials or requests.
How To Use
- Set up Airtable Base: Clone the provided Airtable base or create a new one with a 'Client IDs' table containing 'client_id' and 'client_secret' fields.
- Configure Webhook Node: Set up the 'client receiver' webhook node with your desired path (e.g.,
/token-refresher) and ensure it's listening for POST requests. - Configure Validator Node: The 'validator' node automatically checks for
client_idandclient_secretin the incoming request body. - Configure Airtable 'get client id' Node: Connect this node to your Airtable base and table. Set the
filterByFormulato match theclient_idfrom the webhook request to your 'client_id' field in Airtable. - Configure Secret Validation Node: This node compares the
client_secretfrom the webhook request with theclient_secretretrieved from Airtable. - Configure Token Generation Node: The 'generate token' node creates a random 32-character token.
- Configure Airtable 'create token' Node: Use this node to store the generated token in your Airtable base, potentially linking it to the client.
- Configure Response Nodes: Set up 'validation failed', 'invalid client', and 'invalid secret' nodes to return appropriate HTTP responses based on the validation outcomes.
- Connect Nodes: Ensure all nodes are correctly connected in sequence to execute the workflow logic.
