Secure Token Validation and Job Retrieval Workflow

This n8n workflow provides a robust mechanism for validating API tokens and retrieving specific job data from Airtable, primarily for use in secure API integrations. It begins with a manual trigger or a webhook listening for HTTP requests. Upon receiving a request, it validates the presence and format of a Bearer token in the headers using a code node, then checks the token’s existence in Airtable to ensure it is valid and active. If the token is verified, the workflow proceeds to find the associated job ID in Airtable, confirming ownership and existence. Once validated, it formats the job data into a clean, structured response for the client. If any step fails—such as missing tokens, expired or invalid tokens, or unauthorized access—the workflow responds with appropriate HTTP error codes and messages, ensuring secure and reliable API interactions. This workflow is ideal for SaaS platforms, job boards, or any service requiring secure token-based access controls and data retrieval from Airtable, with the ability to extend for token management functions like rotation and revocation.
