Supported Objects
The HubSpot destination connector supports the following streams:
- Companies: Upsert on unique field
- Contacts: Upsert on email
- Deals: Upsert on unique field
- Custom Objects: Upsert on unique field
Limitations & Troubleshooting
Rate Limiting
The connector automatically respects HubSpot's standard API rate limits. If you encounter rate limiting issues, the connector will retry requests with exponential backoff.
Destination Object Not Showing Up
Except for the CONTACT object (which uses email as the matching key), the upsert method for this connector requires a unique value field to be present on the destination object.
Matching Key Requirements:
- CONTACT: Uses email field automatically
- All other objects: Require a property with unique values enabled
To create a unique value property in HubSpot:
- In the CRM menu in the left-hand side, select the object you want to sync
- Under
Actions, selectEdit Properties - Click on
Create property - When entering the rules, check
Require unique values for this property
App Verification
In order to verify our HubSpot application, HubSpot expects some usage i.e. more than 60 installations. Hence, when installing the app, you might see the message "You're connecting to an unverified app". This is expected for our first users. Once we have enough traffic on the application, we will be able to verify the app which will remove this warning.
Scopes for Unsupported Streams
During app the app installation, you might see scopes related to objects we don't support. This is expected as changing scopes might require the users to re-authenticate which is quite disruptive. In order to prevent that, we added scopes on objects we intend to support given user demands.
403 Forbidden Error
Hubspot has scopes for each API call. Each stream is tied to a scope and will need access to that scope to sync data. Review the Hubspot OAuth scope documentation here.
