Salesforce API Connection

[EECdeveloper]

I'm attempting to connect to a current instance of Salesforce to a NEW instance of Hubspot CRM.  The Salesforce instance is using  SOAP API to authenticate.  Can I use SOAP API to connect with my Hubspot?  All the documentation I have read is they only use REST API to communicate.

Hey @EECdeveloper ,

The HubSpot API is REST-ful, and uses HTTP. It's not going to be compatible with the SOAP protocol. That said, HubSpot does have a native integration with Salesforce. 

For anyone else interested in the differences between REST and SOAP, here's a handy article: https://www.soapui.org/learn/api/soap-vs-rest-api.html
