To authenticate a HubSpot CRM element instance, you must use a developer account to create an application with HubSpot CRM. You can authenticate with HubSpot CRM in one of two ways: OAuth 2.0 and API Keys. HubSpot CRM recommends API Keys for prototyping and OAuth 2.0 for production integrations. For more information, review HubSpot CRM's Authentication Overview.
- For authentication via OAuth 2.0, you need an application Client ID and Client secret. Use them as the for the
oauth.api.key(Client ID) andoauth.api.secret(Client secret) when you authenticate with HubSpot CRM. - For authentication via API Keys, you need the developer account API Key — or HAPIkey to use as the
hubspot.authorization.apikey.
If you do not have a developer account visit https://app.hubspot.com/signup/developers.
