HubSpot credentials#

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

Supported authentication methods#

API key deprecated

HubSpot deprecated the regular API Key authentication method. The option still appears in n8n, but you should use the authentication methods listed above instead. If you have existing integrations using this API key method, refer to HubSpot's Migrate an API key integration to a private app guide and set up an app token.

Refer to HubSpot's API documentation for more information about the service. The HubSpot Trigger node uses the Webhooks API; refer to HubSpot's Webhooks API documentation for more information about that service.

Using App token#

To configure this credential, you'll need a HubSpot account or HubSpot developer account and:

  • An App Token

To generate an app token, create a private app in HubSpot:

  1. In your HubSpot account, select the settings icon in the main navigation bar.
  2. In the left sidebar menu, go to Integrations > Private Apps.
  3. Select Create private app.
  4. On the Basic Info tab, enter your app's Name.
  5. Hover over the placeholder logo and select the upload icon to upload a square image that will serve as the logo for your app.
  6. Enter a Description for your app.
  7. Open the Scopes tab and add the appropriate scopes. Refer to Required scopes for HubSpot node for a complete list of scopes you should add.
  8. Select Create app to finish the process.
  9. In the modal, review the info about your app's access token, then select Continue creating.
  10. Once your app's created, open the Access token card and select Show token to reveal the token.
  11. Copy this token and enter it in your n8n credential.

Refer to the HubSpot Private Apps documentation for more information.

Using Developer API key#

To configure this credential, you'll need a HubSpot developer account and:

  • A Client ID: Generated once you create a public app.
  • A Client Secret: Generated once you create a public app.
  • A Developer API Key: Generated from your Developer Apps dashboard.
  • An App ID: Generated once you create a public app.

To create the public app and set up the credential:

  1. Log into your HubSpot app developer account.
  2. Select Apps from the main navigation bar.
  3. Select Get HubSpot API key. You may need to select the option to Show key.
  4. Copy the key and enter it in n8n as the Developer API Key.
  5. Still on the HubSpot Apps page, select Create app.
  6. On the App Info tab, add an App name, Description, Logo, and any support contact info you want to provide. Anyone encountering the app would see these.
  7. Open the Auth tab.
  8. Copy the App ID and enter it in n8n.
  9. Copy the Client ID and enter it in n8n.
  10. Copy the Client Secret and enter it in n8n.
  11. In the Scopes section, select Add new scope.
  12. Add all the scopes listed in Required scopes for HubSpot Trigger node to your app.
  13. Select Update.
  14. Copy the n8n OAuth Redirect URL and enter it as the Redirect URL in your HubSpot app.
  15. Select Create app to finish creating the HubSpot app.

Refer to the HubSpot Public Apps documentation for more detailed instructions.

Required scopes for HubSpot Trigger node#

If you're creating an app for use with the HubSpot Trigger node, n8n recommends starting with these scopes:

Element Object Permission Scope name
n/a n/a n/a oauth
CRM Companies Read crm.objects.companies.read
CRM Companies schemas Read crm.schemas.companies.read
CRM Contacts Read crm.objects.contacts.read
CRM Contacts schemas Read crm.schemas.contacts.read
CRM Deals Read crm.objects.deals.read
CRM Deals schemas Read crm.schemas.deals.read

HubSpot old accounts

Some HubSpot accounts don't have access to all the scopes. HubSpot is migrating accounts gradually. If you can't find all the scopes in your current HubSpot developer account, try creating a fresh developer account.

Using OAuth2#

Note for n8n Cloud users

Cloud users don't need to provide connection details. Select Connect my account to connect through your browser.

If you're self-hosting n8n, you'll need to configure OAuth2 from scratch by creating a new public app:

  1. Log into your HubSpot app developer account.
  2. Select Apps from the main navigation bar.
  3. Select Create app.
  4. On the App Info tab, add an App name, Description, Logo, and any support contact info you want to provide. Anyone encountering the app would see these.
  5. Open the Auth tab.
  6. Copy the App ID and enter it in n8n.
  7. Copy the Client ID and enter it in n8n.
  8. Copy the Client Secret and enter it in n8n.
  9. In the Scopes section, select Add new scope.
  10. Add all the scopes listed in Required scopes for HubSpot node to your app.
  11. Select Update.
  12. Copy the n8n OAuth Redirect URL and enter it as the Redirect URL in your HubSpot app.
  13. Select Create app to finish creating the HubSpot app.

Refer to the HubSpot Public Apps documentation for more detailed instructions. If you need more detail on what's happening in the OAuth web flow, refer to the HubSpot Working with OAuth documentation.
