Creating and integrating a private app via OAuth (for webhooks). Not showing up in Connected Apps

[jalipert]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an app for the purpose of responding to webhooks for our company's HubSpot portal (e.g., respond to contact and company creation).

I created a new App under my developer portal and generated an OAuth URL for installing it.  When I click on the OAuth URL, it asks me which account to install the app.  I choose the portal I wish to install the app.  It then asks me for permission to grant access to the app and I choose to grant access.

Then, nothing.  I don't get any error messages, but I still don't see the App under the Integrations/Apps -> Connected Apps list.  Any ideas?  I am a super admin if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

Joe

Hi @jalipert , a private app should be installed just as a normal app would be. Do you have a redirect uri in your authorization link? If so, could you please share the following:

1. Your App ID
2. Your full authorization url. You can omit the client_id

Hi Connor,

It turns out that an App won't show up in your integrations until a request for auth/refresh tokens is made using the code returned from the installation redirect.  Once I made a request as outlined here https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/oauth2/get-access-and-refresh-tokens the App showed up in the integrations.

Best,
Joe

Thank you!  This eliminated my current time suck.
