I’ve connected the hubspot to my saas, but I would like to have a test mode to have one API KEY on production and another one for staging & local.  
This is already exists?  
Someone could help me?  
Thank you  
Fábio

Hi @fabioroque,

Depending on how you’re hoping that will work, it may not be possible how you’re asking.

If you want to send data from your SaaS in a testing environment you could do that in a sandbox, but that would require an Enterprise subscription. In that case, you could have a Private App connected to the Sandbox for “staging” or at least testing.

Without Enterprise there’s not necessarily a staging environment. If you wanted to test and not impact data in your live HubSpot environment you would either want to upgrade or potentially test in a separate HubSpot account. [Check out some information here on app developer accounts and test developer accounts](https://developers.hubspot.com/beta-docs/getting-started/account-types). They may be your solution.
