Missing documentation on how to save app settings

Hi All,

We are in the process of developing an app to allow querying of product data from a bespoke external PIM during deal creation. As part of this we need to store a bearer token and URL in the settings of the app so that the card can make calls using these credentials later.

I have read Create a settings page - HubSpot docs and Create a settings page for a legacy public app - HubSpot docs and neither explain how to read or save settings within an app other than hinting at `hubspot.fetch` but without any further context.

Is there any documentation anywhere on how to achieve this? I’d rather not store the settings in an external system to save/load them with fetch as it is additional overhead and defeats the point of saving a dynamic URL.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Alex

Hey @alexr-redfern,

Welcome!

The Create a settings page documentation does indeed state:
“Use hubspot.fetch to leverage your backend to save and retrieve settings.”

That said, I’d like to tag in some of our Top Contributors to see if they have any experience with this!

Hey @Anton, @evaldas, @MichaelMa – Do you have any suggestions for @alexr-redfern on this?

Thank you!
