HubSpot Query authentication guide

This is a step-by-step guide to acquiring HubSpot credentials and authorizing the HubSpot Query component.

The HubSpot Query component can use OAuth or Private App Token for third-party authentication. This guide will only explain the Private App Token method. Read OAuth for details of the OAuth method.

Authorizing the HubSpot Query component requires four steps:

1. Obtain a Private App Token from the HubSpot portal.
2. Create a Secret in AWS Secrets Manager.
3. Add a Secret definition to the Your projects menu.
4. Use the Private App Token property drop-down in the HubSpot Query component to select the secret holding the token you have created.

   • Value is the code you copied from the Developer App key dialog.
4. Click Next and on the next page enter a Secret name. This is the name that will appear in the Secret definitions list in your Your projects.
