🔐 How to Generate an API Key for HubSpot API Using a Legacy App

This integration allows Gojiberry to push leads and their data into your Hubspot directly into your CRM under the relevant contact. ​

To make this possible, HubSpot requires a Legacy App with specific permissions (called scopes). ​ This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating that Private App and retrieving the API key (token) you’ll need to connect Gojiberry to your HubSpot account — securely and with the right level of access.

___________________________________________________________

HubSpot no longer supports the older legacy API keys for security reasons. Legacy Apps are the new standard and provide:

Scoped access: Only the permissions your app needs.

Secure tokens: Safer than legacy API keys.

Better audit/logging: You can monitor access and usage.

crm.objects.deals.write → to link the contact to a deal

settings.users.read → to get and select the users of the Hubspot account

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.

Prototype answer unavailable

I’ve got this page open. Ask me anything about it and I’ll answer from the docs.
