Overview
This workflow streamlines user authentication by integrating Airtable as a user database and leveraging JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for secure session management. It automates both user registration and login processes, ensuring robust password handling and real-time validation.
Key Features
- User Sign-Up & Sign-In: Handles new user registration and existing user login requests via webhooks.
- Password Security: Utilizes cryptographic hashing to securely store user passwords.
- Duplicate Email Check: Prevents duplicate accounts by verifying if an email already exists in Airtable.
- JWT Token Generation: Issues JWT tokens upon successful authentication for secure, stateless sessions.
- Automated Responses: Sends immediate feedback to users regarding sign-up or sign-in status.
Benefits
- Enhanced Security: Ensures user credentials are securely managed and authenticated.
- Time Savings: Automates manual authentication tasks, reducing administrative overhead.
- Scalable Integration: Easily adapts to various frontend applications and business needs.
Use Cases
- Rapidly deploy authentication for web or mobile apps.
- Integrate secure user management into MVPs or internal tools.
- Replace manual user onboarding with automated, scalable processes.
Integrations & Processes
- Airtable: Acts as the primary user database.
- Webhooks: Facilitates real-time communication between frontend and backend.
- Crypto: Handles password hashing for security.
- JWT: Provides secure, token-based authentication.
