Microsoft Power Automate/Flow Connector

Hi it would be great to have a power automate connector for hubspot so we can make use of microsofts power automate platform.

 

Some CRM systems already offer this

As a temp solution download an old version of postman and export hubspot api definitions to a v1 collection then import to power automate

I am very new to Power Automate, like yesterday, but I love data analytics and am a bit of  CRM geek, so I would love to learn what you were applying Power Automate for Hubspot for...  What was the desired task automation you were seeking?  I am looking to take full advantage of the power of HubSpot and wondering what others are doing with connectors and Power Automate/Power BI...  Thanks!

Has anyone worked out a way to connect Hubspot to Power Automate yet? I'm evaluating the product for our business and can't find anything about this. I would have thought this to be a necessary feature. We connect our current CRM to power automate to populate documents, setup folder strucutures and client projects based on CRM data etc. Without this feature I can't see Hubspot being our solution.

Hi,

 

Are you referring to this connector?

 

According to Microsoft it is available in Power Automate:

Hi @Stanza ,

 This connector is from an independant publisher and requires access to HubSpot workflows. Workflows are only available in Professional. I am on Starter plan and can't afford to spend the many thosands extra to get that.

My workaround so far is to use Zapier as the connector to the outside world, then pass that information to Power Automate when needed. This is very much a workaround as Zapier doesn't intergrate well with Microsoft, so there is plenty of Zapier to Power Automate connection.

 

It just seems strange that Hubspot don't have a connector when most businesses use the Microsoft ecosystem.

@Ron1 see my posts above, it is possible to use hubspot apis in an old version of postman and export them to a postman v1 collection which can then be imported into your own power automate custom connector

I don't think @JamieJ98 that this method works anymore due to sunsetting of API keys. Very frustrating, and the connector in MPA has not been updated to work with this change.

@PNgo9 & @ash_ So I found a work around, and suggested a fix to the App Author, but I don't think he took me seriously. 

I think the App is missing two scopes around company object and company schema.

I posted my work-around at the link below, however, I had to take the Swagger JSON from the plugin Github page (file apiDefinition.swagger.json), and paste it into a Custom Connector swagger editer.

I then changed the security settings of the connector to work with API Token ensuring the Parameter name was called Authorization. 

I created a Private App in Hubspot with the scopes shown on the link below, then uses the Bearer token to Authorise my Custom Connector Connection and boom, got it working. Make sure you include the text "Bearer ***-***-********-****-****-****-************" before adding the Private app access key.

I have connected to similar APIs using the HTTP request option. Is this not possible with HubSpot?

Yet another **bleep** moment from HubSpot. I sometimes get the sense that they are more concerned with upselling (oh, that feature is available in the ELITE tier!) than actually fleshing out their existing products and services for already paying customers...

Prove me wrong, HubSpot.
