Connect your app to HubSpot

1. 1

   Go to HubSpot and create a new service key.

   This key acts like a secure password, allowing Lovable to access your HubSpot account without sharing your main login details.

2. 2

   Give your service key a descriptive name, like 'Lovable integration', and select the specific permissions your app will need, such as reading and writing contacts or deals.

   Naming helps you remember its purpose, and selecting specific permissions ensures Lovable only has access to the data it needs, improving security.

3. 3

   Copy the generated service key to your clipboard.

   You'll need this key in the next step to link HubSpot to Lovable.

4. 4

   In Lovable, go to 'Connectors', select 'HubSpot', and click 'Add connection'.

   This starts the process of linking your HubSpot account to your Lovable workspace.

5. 5

   Give your connection a display name (e.g., 'HubSpot Production') and paste your copied HubSpot service key into the 'Service key' field.

   A clear name helps you identify the connection, and the service key provides the necessary authentication for Lovable to access HubSpot.

6. 6

   Decide if you want to share this connection with other members of your Lovable workspace and then click 'Connect'.

   Sharing allows team members to use the same HubSpot connection in their projects, while keeping it private restricts access to only you.

Build a lead capture form. Use HubSpot to create or update a contact when someone submits their name, email, and company.

CRM

Customer Relationship Management; it's software that helps businesses manage and analyze customer interactions and data throughout the customer lifecycle.

Service key

A special, secure code that allows one software system (like Lovable) to securely access specific parts of another system (like HubSpot) without needing your main login and password.

Scopes

Specific permissions you grant to a service key, defining exactly what actions it's allowed to perform (e.g., 'read contacts' or 'write deals').

API

Application Programming Interface; a set of rules and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other.

• Not having super admin access or developer tools permissions in HubSpot will prevent you from creating a service key.
• Forgetting to select the necessary 'scopes' (permissions) when creating your HubSpot service key will limit what your Lovable app can do.
• Sharing your service key publicly or insecurely, as it functions like a password.
• Exceeding HubSpot's API usage limits, which are managed by HubSpot and not Lovable, can temporarily block your app's access.
