A lot of closed APIs require an IP to be allowlisted in order for it to grant access.
However, there’s currently no way for these APIs to be used within HubSpot as there’s no dedicated IP for API calls.
Making this happen would open a whole world of possibilities integration-wise.
(Also a lot of company’s security protocols dictate that incoming requests have to be allowlisted)
This is really important. IP allowlisting is a legacy approach to security and more effective measures are now available; however many of our clients are running legacy systems or have set global IT policies which requires a allowlisted IP. It’s a shame as in some cases, we’re having to have HubSpot call our own custom endpoint to then transfer the request to the client server, a really simple feature that would make a huge difference!
It would be as simple as if the client has a dedicated IP on their portal; to apply a dedicated IP for serverless functions and custom coded actions, not just transactional and marketing email.
