How do you safely test HubSpot data integrations without affecting production?

Hi @MvanMaasakkers ,

Yes, HubSpot offers standard sandbox accounts for safe testing without affecting production data. These are available only to accounts on the Enterprise tier, and they copy your production account’s structure and (optionally) data for testing purposes.

Connect your API or integration to the sandbox to safely test workflows or data syncs before deploying to production.

Best practice: Always test in a sandbox first, avoid using production for experiments.

To be noted: If you’re not on Enterprise, standard sandboxes aren’t available. Instead, you can create a developer test account, a free account you can generate directly from your HubSpot account (up to 10 per account), which gives you a limited-time trial of many Enterprise features for testing. This lets you safely test APIs and workflows without touching production data. It’s useful for basic testing, but requires manually recreating data and assets.

If this helps, feel free to mark it as the solution
