API Token Generation via Webhook + Airtable

# Generate API tokens via webhook with client_secret validation in Airtable

This automation streamlines secure API token issuance without backend development. It´s ideal for SaaS products, internal tools, or integrations requiring a simple yet robust authentication flow similar to OAuth.

## Who it´s for
- SaaS developers needing lightweight API token management
- Product teams using Airtable as a lightweight customer database
- Automators building secure webhooks without backend code
- Teams implementing OAuth-like flows with minimal infrastructure

## What the automation does
- Receives a POST request with `client_id` and `client_secret` via HTTP webhook
- Validates payload structure and required fields
- Looks up the client in Airtable and verifies the secret
- On success, generates a cryptographically secure token and stores it with metadata (timestamp, IP, client_id)
- Returns a standard JSON response with `access_token`, `token_type`, and `expires_in`
- Returns proper HTTP error codes (400, 401) with clear messages on failure

## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow
- Trigger and handler logic powered by JavaScript
- Integrations with Airtable and HTTP API
- Basic text guide for setup and adaptation

## Requirements for setup
- n8n account with workflow editing access
- Airtable account with a clients table (client_id, client_secret, active)
- Configured webhook URL in n8n
- Environment variables access for secret storage

## Benefits and outcomes
- Saves time on backend auth logic development
- Secure credential validation and token generation
- Scalable via Airtable with low maintenance
- Predictable REST API interface with error handling
- Easy integration with external systems
- Minimal infrastructure overhead
