Hi!  
We have a workflow set up in HubSpot which changes several (3 max) custom boolean fields in a Contact. I would like to receive this information in our Private Application (already linked in Hubspot).  
What is the best approach to get this information when the Contact fields are updated?  
Thank you!

I would reccommend setting up webhook subscriptions for when those properties change.

Here’s the documentation how how to set those up for Private Apps: [Create and edit webhook subscriptions in legacy private apps - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/beta-docs/guides/apps/private-apps/create-and-edit-webhook-subscriptions-in-private-apps)
