This article gives an overview of the available blocks in the Hubspot connector in Qlik Application Automation. It will also go over some basic examples of retrieving contacts and creating a contact within a Hubspot account.

This connector supports CRUD operations(read, create, update, delete) for the following CRM modules in Hubspot:

  • contacts
  • companies
  • deals
  • products
  • tickets
  • line_items

There are also a few generic blocks that could help to cover the other modules :

  • Raw API List Request
  • Raw API Get Request
  • Raw API Create Request
  • Raw API Update Request

Authentication for this connector is based on the oAuth2 Protocol. For more details about authentication and about the available scopes, check this article.

Let's now go over a few basic examples of how to use the Hubspot connector:

1. How to list contacts from a Hubspot account

  1. Create an automation;
  2. From the left menu, select the Hubspot connector;Ionut_Dumitrascu_0-1626437155422.png
  3. Use the 'Search for blocks' input to search for the "list contacts' block;Ionut_Dumitrascu_1-1626437207131.png
  4. Drag and drop the block into the automation and link it to the start block;Ionut_Dumitrascu_2-1626437327831.png
  5. From the left menu, search for the 'Output' block;Ionut_Dumitrascu_5-1626437589713.png
  6. Drag and drop the 'output' block into the automation and link it to the 'List contacts' block;Ionut_Dumitrascu_6-1626437798211.png
  7. Run the automation (if not saved previously, a 'Save automation' popup will appear). This will output a paginated list of contacts available 

2.  How to create a contact in your Hubspot account:

  1. The first two steps are similar as before;
  2. Use the 'Search for blocks' input to search for the "Create contact' block;
  3. Drag and drop the block into the automation and link it to the start block;Ionut_Dumitrascu_0-1626440548559.png
  4. On the right side of the screen, use the input fields to fill in the contact informationIonut_Dumitrascu_1-1626440629254.png
  5. Run the automation (if not saved previously, a 'Save automation' popup will appear). This will create a new contact in your Hubspot account and output this information.

@Ionut_Dumitrascu   It appears that only six HubSpot objects are supported in the Qlik Application Automation connector:

  • contacts
  • companies
  • deals
  • products
  • tickets
  • line_items

There is a Qlik Sense connector available in the HubSpot App Marketplace that pulls data from all of the HubSpot APIs, including:

Analytics
Companies
Contacts
Deals
Email Events
Tickets
Owners
Engagements
Forms
Products

  

Engagements (emails, meetings, notes, tasks, and calls) are particularly important for sales reporting and analytics.  For more information look here.

@bayardbradford1   Thanks for the feedback. We are reviewing your request, but please find below some remarks: 

  •  You can use the generic blocks (Raw API Request) for the missing endpoints.  Please note we are currenty only supporting the API V3 endpoints for Hubspot. See How to get started with Raw API Requests in automation 
  • I understand the use case for the Engagement API, similar to the chatter blocks in Salesforce. Please submit your improvement request through ideation so we can prioritize.
