I would like to develop an integration inside HubSpot for personal use!

I would like to develop an integration inside HubSpot for personal use which will fetch details related to a contact from other platform. I would like to display it in contact fields. Is this possible?

If yes, how would I achieve that?

HI @hs_spritle - I would recommend that you use a CRM extension for this, this is something in the left or right hand side of the screen that displays in a Contact Record.

You can read more about CRM Extensions here.

Thanks for replying @darynsmith.

Where should I upload the code for that and any other sample apps if you have any, can you please share it?

@hs_spritle you will need to host our application somewhere, such as Amazon Web Services or any hosting provider.

When you setup your CRM extension, the first time you run the script it will create the extension within HubSpot using this API: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/crm-extensions/create-object-type

We've created CRM extensions for customers to view status of clients account from a usage and billing perspective, to create records in 3rd party systems and look up company information. We can't share these as they are in our clients portals.

Hi @darynsmith,

Thanks for the response!

Is there any way we can use ngrok to serve the application inside HubSpot for local testing?

Also, I would like to display external data related to the contact's email address. How can I retrieve the contact details of the present contact in the page?

[#6]

@hs_spritle yes you can use ngrok for local testing.

And use the contact ID that is sent to the dataFetchUri to collect the contact's details via the contact API: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/get_contact

Thanks for the response @darynsmith!

I could not see the option to create an application. Where should I have to create one such?
