Swifty c955e9a4d7 feat(blocks): Add Airtable Integration (#10338)
## Overview

This PR adds comprehensive Airtable integration to the AutoGPT platform,
enabling users to seamlessly connect their Airtable bases with AutoGPT
workflows for powerful no-code automation capabilities.

## Why Airtable Integration?

Airtable is one of the most popular no-code databases used by teams for
project management, CRMs, inventory tracking, and countless other use
cases. This integration brings significant value:

- **Data Automation**: Automate data entry, updates, and synchronization
between Airtable and other services
- **Workflow Triggers**: React to changes in Airtable bases with
webhook-based triggers
- **Schema Management**: Programmatically create and manage Airtable
table structures
- **Bulk Operations**: Efficiently process large amounts of data with
batch create/update/delete operations

## Key Features

### 🔌 Webhook Trigger
- **AirtableWebhookTriggerBlock**: Listens for changes in Airtable bases
and triggers workflows
- Supports filtering by table, view, and specific fields
- Includes webhook signature validation for security

### 📊 Record Operations  
- **AirtableCreateRecordsBlock**: Create single or multiple records (up
to 10 at once)
- **AirtableUpdateRecordsBlock**: Update existing records with upsert
support
- **AirtableDeleteRecordsBlock**: Delete single or multiple records
- **AirtableGetRecordBlock**: Retrieve specific record details
- **AirtableListRecordsBlock**: Query records with filtering, sorting,
and pagination

### 🏗️ Schema Management
- **AirtableCreateTableBlock**: Create new tables with custom field
definitions
- **AirtableUpdateTableBlock**: Modify table properties
- **AirtableAddFieldBlock**: Add new fields to existing tables
- **AirtableUpdateFieldBlock**: Update field properties

## Technical Implementation Details

### Authentication
- Supports both API Key and OAuth authentication methods
- OAuth implementation includes proper token refresh handling
- Credentials are securely managed through the platform's credential
system

### Webhook Security
- Added `credentials` parameter to WebhooksManager interface for proper
signature validation
- HMAC-SHA256 signature verification ensures webhook authenticity
- Webhook cursor tracking prevents duplicate event processing

### API Integration
- Comprehensive API client (`_api.py`) with full type safety
- Proper error handling and response validation
- Support for all Airtable field types and operations

## Changes 🏗️ 

### Added Blocks:
- AirtableWebhookTriggerBlock
- AirtableCreateRecordsBlock
- AirtableDeleteRecordsBlock
- AirtableGetRecordBlock
- AirtableListRecordsBlock
- AirtableUpdateRecordsBlock
- AirtableAddFieldBlock
- AirtableCreateTableBlock
- AirtableUpdateFieldBlock
- AirtableUpdateTableBlock

### Modified Files:
- Updated WebhooksManager interface to support credential-based
validation
- Modified all webhook handlers to support the new interface

## Test Plan 📋

### Manual Testing Performed:
1. **Authentication Testing**
   -  Verified API key authentication works correctly
   -  Tested OAuth flow including token refresh
   -  Confirmed credentials are properly encrypted and stored

2. **Webhook Testing**
   -  Created webhook subscriptions for different table events
   -  Verified signature validation prevents unauthorized requests
   -  Tested cursor tracking to ensure no duplicate events
   -  Confirmed webhook cleanup on block deletion

3. **Record Operations Testing**
   -  Created single and batch records with various field types
   -  Updated records with and without upsert functionality
   -  Listed records with filtering, sorting, and pagination
   -  Deleted single and multiple records
   -  Retrieved individual record details

4. **Schema Management Testing**
   -  Created tables with multiple field types
   -  Added fields to existing tables
   -  Updated table and field properties
   -  Verified proper error handling for invalid field types

5. **Error Handling Testing**
   -  Tested with invalid credentials
   -  Verified proper error messages for API limits
   -  Confirmed graceful handling of network errors

### Security Considerations 🔒

1. **API Key Management**
   - API keys are stored encrypted in the credential system
   - Keys are never logged or exposed in error messages
   - Credentials are passed securely through the execution context

2. **Webhook Security**
   - HMAC-SHA256 signature validation on all incoming webhooks
   - Webhook URLs use secure ingress endpoints
   - Proper cleanup of webhooks when blocks are deleted

3. **OAuth Security**
   - OAuth tokens are securely stored and refreshed
   - Scopes are limited to necessary permissions
   - Token refresh happens automatically before expiration

## Configuration Requirements

No additional environment variables or configuration changes are
required. The integration uses the existing credential management
system.

🐙 Example Agents

Here are two examples of what you can do with AutoGPT:

  1. Generate Viral Videos from Trending Topics

    • This agent reads topics on Reddit.
    • It identifies trending topics.
    • It then automatically creates a short-form video based on the content.
  2. Identify Top Quotes from Videos for Social Media

    • This agent subscribes to your YouTube channel.
    • When you post a new video, it transcribes it.
    • It uses AI to identify the most impactful quotes to generate a summary.
    • Then, it writes a post to automatically publish to your social media.

These examples show just a glimpse of what you can achieve with AutoGPT! You can create customized workflows to build agents for any use case.
