How to create a new Private App in HubSpot (HS Update Aug 2022)

Overview

HubSpot is changing the way its authentication works. These changes are planned to come into effect as of November 1st and affect your HubSpot - SugarCRM integration by Faye. 

 

This guide will walk you through the steps to create a private app and obtain your access token. 

 

Steps

1. Connect to your HubSpot account, and click the settings icon in the main navigation bar.

 

2. In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Integrations > Private Apps.

 

3. Click on Create private app.

 

4. On the Basic Info tab, configure the details of your app:

• • Give your app a name.
  • Hover over the placeholder logo and click the upload icon to upload a square image that will serve as the logo for your app.
  • Enter a description for your app.

5. Click on the Scopes tab.

6. Depending on what data you want to share via the new private app, select the applicable scopes. Generally, we recommend authorizing the following scopes:

• crm.lists.write
• crm.lists.read
• crm.objects.companies.write
• crm.objects.companies.read
• crm.objects.contacts.write
• crm.objects.contacts.read
• crm.objects.owners.read
• crm.schemas.companies.read
• crm.schemas.contacts.read

7. After selecting the scopes, click on Create app in the top right. You can always make changes to your app after you create it.

8. In the pop-up window, review the info about your app's access token, then click Continue creating.

9. You can now start making API requests using its access token. On the Details tab of the settings page of your private app, click Show token under your access token to reveal it.

10. After choosing Show Token as mentioned in the previous step, use the Copy option to easily introduce your new token into the HubSpot-Sugar Bridge or share it with the Faye support team.

Well done! You have created your first Private App in your HubSpot account.
