Configuration deployment automation - CI/CD for Hubspot CRM

[NorbertF]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for creative automated ways of reploying Hubspot CRM environment configuration between accounts.

(I know there are possibilities for CMS, but code and configuration there are different, question is about the base Hubspot CRM product).

The use cases are:

- moving config between dev and production account

- replicating the blueprint configuration for a new deployment

- providing backups of config

- releasing packages of changes to multiple accounts.

Any ideas?

Splendid, hopefully you'll get there before I will really need to scale in number of accounts...

Will the sandbox go down to other service levels, like Professional?

Doing it the way SF does (metadata transfers, being actually a feed to api calls) would be optimal - but that also would require the config metadata to be versioned under the hood and accessible to select changes to be transferred... Doing it just based on API might prove hard, unless in some specific cases (ie, recreating workflows, or moving around segment definitions).

Looking forward to hear more on sandboxes (two way sync, maybe?)

Good feedback!  At this moment, all I can say is stay tuned.  😉

We are working on a better way of handling this for you.  Presently, there is a sandbox option, but this is all through the UI.  Wrangling a bunch of APIs, you could build it, but it would be a lot of work.

Stay tuned for developments from the HubSpot team!
