New Hubspot API Authentication (OAuth)

Hubspot is changing the authentication method for accessing their API, and starting November 30, 2022, HubSpot API keys will no longer be used as an authentication method.

Instead, you'll need to use OAuth to authenticate API calls.

To ensure you experience a continued frictionless flow of data between Hubspot and Membrain, we have created a new version of our Hubspot integration, which you should migrate to as soon as possible. 

Summary of changes required

Making the switch is easy and should take less than 10 minutes. There is no need to go through any other setting configuration, just reauthenticating with Hubspot's new format is all that's required.

Briefly, you will need to do the following:

  1. Authenticating to the new version (v3) of the Hubspot integration
  2. Stop the old version (v2) sync
  3. Start the new version (v3) sync

Below, you will find detailed instructions for every step required.

1. Authenticating to the new version (v3) of the Hubspot integration

In Membrain, go to System Setup - Integrations - Hubspot Integration

  1. In this view, you will see which version of our Hubspot integration you're in. If you're still on the old one (version 2), then click on the Hubspot Integration v3 button to authenticate to the new version, as shown below.

    When you're in our new Hubspot integration version (v3), in the Authenticate section, you'll see the message HubSpot API Access Not Available. That's totally normal, as you haven't authenticated to this version yet.
  2. Click on the Authenticate section to bring down the menu and click on the Authenticate with Hubspot button.
  3. If you're not logged into your Hubspot account, you will need to log in with your credentials.
    Note: you need to have Super Admin permissions to carry out this task.
