📌 Validate Seatable Webhooks with HMAC SHA256 Authentication

This mini workflow is designed to securely validate incoming Seatable webhooks using HMAC SHA256 signature verification.

🔐 What it does:

• Listens for incoming Seatable webhook requests.
• Calculates a SHA256 HMAC hash of the raw request body using your shared secret.
• Compares the computed hash with the x-seatable-signature header (after removing the sha256= prefix).
• If the hashes match: responds with 200 OK and forwards the request to subsequent nodes.
• If the hashes don’t match: responds with 403 Forbidden.

⚠️ Important Notes:

This workflow is provided as a template and is not intended to work standalone. Please duplicate it and integrate it with your custom logic at the “Add nodes for processing” node.

Configuration steps:

• Set your secret key in the “Calculate sha256” crypto node (replace the placeholder).
• Adjust the webhook path to suit your environment (or set it to “manual” for testing).
• Connect your actual logic after the verification step.
