HubSpot Connector

Connect your HubSpot CRM to Brevo via Tajo for bidirectional contact sync, deal tracking, engagement data, and unified marketing automation across both platforms.

Overview

Features

• Bidirectional contact sync - Keep contacts in sync between HubSpot and Brevo in real time
• Deal pipeline tracking - Sync deal stages and values for revenue-based segmentation
• Company data sync - Associate contacts with company records and firmographic data
• Ticket integration - Track support tickets for customer health scoring
• Engagement tracking - Sync email opens, clicks, meetings, calls, and notes
• Custom object support - Map HubSpot custom objects to Brevo attributes
• Workflow triggers - Use HubSpot lifecycle stage changes to trigger Brevo automations
• Webhook events - Real-time notifications for CRM data changes

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

1. A HubSpot account (Free, Starter, Professional, or Enterprise)
2. A HubSpot private app or OAuth app with required scopes
3. A Brevo account with API access
4. A Tajo account

Authentication

Private App Access Token (Recommended)

Create a private app in HubSpot for direct API access with granular scope control.

1. Go to HubSpot Settings > Integrations > Private Apps
2. Create a new private app
3. Configure required scopes
4. Copy the access token

curl -X GET "https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

OAuth 2.0

Use OAuth 2.0 for multi-account integrations that require user authorization.

# Authorization URL
https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize?client_id={client_id}&scope=crm.objects.contacts.read&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}

Required Scopes

crm.objects.contacts.read
crm.objects.contacts.write
crm.objects.companies.read
crm.objects.deals.read
crm.objects.deals.write
crm.objects.custom.read
crm.schemas.custom.read

Configuration

Basic Setup

connectors:
  hubspot:
    enabled: true
    access_token: "${HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN}"

    # Data sync options
    sync:
      contacts: true
      companies: true
      deals: true
      tickets: true
      engagements: true

    # Sync direction

    # List assignment in Brevo
    lists:
      all_contacts: 10
      qualified_leads: 11
      customers: 12

Field Mapping

Map HubSpot properties to Brevo contact attributes:

Custom Property Mapping

  firstname: FIRSTNAME
  lastname: LASTNAME
  phone: SMS

  # CRM fields
  lifecyclestage: LIFECYCLE_STAGE
  hs_lead_status: LEAD_STATUS

Code Examples

Initialize Connector

import { TajoClient } from '@tajo/sdk';

const tajo = new TajoClient({
  apiKey: process.env.TAJO_API_KEY,
  brevoApiKey: process.env.BREVO_API_KEY
});

// Connect HubSpot
await tajo.connectors.connect('hubspot', {
  accessToken: process.env.HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN
});

Run Contact Sync

// Full bidirectional sync
await tajo.connectors.sync('hubspot', {
  type: 'full',
  resources: ['contacts', 'companies', 'deals'],
  direction: 'bidirectional',
  since: '2023-01-01'
});

// Check sync status
const status = await tajo.connectors.status('hubspot');
console.log(status);
// {
//   connected: true,
//   lastSync: '2024-01-15T10:30:00Z',
//   contactsSynced: 34200,
//   companiesSynced: 5100,
//   dealsSynced: 2340
// }

Handle Webhook Events

// Handle HubSpot webhook notifications
app.post('/webhooks/hubspot', async (req, res) => {
  const signature = req.get('X-HubSpot-Signature-v3');

  // Verify webhook signature
  if (!verifyHubSpotSignature(req.body, signature)) {
    return res.status(401).send('Unauthorized');
  }

  for (const event of req.body) {
    await tajo.connectors.handleWebhook('hubspot', {
      eventType: event.subscriptionType,
      objectId: event.objectId,
      propertyName: event.propertyName,
      propertyValue: event.propertyValue
    });
  }

  res.status(200).send('OK');
});

Rate Limits

HubSpot applies rate limits per private app or OAuth app:

Additional limits:

• Search API: 5 requests/second per app
• Batch operations: 100 records per batch request
• Daily limit: 500,000 requests/day (OAuth apps)

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging:

connectors:
  hubspot:
    debug: true
    log_level: verbose
    log_webhooks: true

Test Connection

tajo connectors test hubspot
# ✓ API connection successful
# ✓ Contacts readable
# ✓ Companies readable
# ✓ Deals readable
# ✓ Webhooks registered

Best Practices

1. Use private apps over API keys - API keys are deprecated; use private apps for better security
2. Implement bidirectional sync carefully - Avoid infinite loops by tracking sync source
3. Map lifecycle stages - Use HubSpot lifecycle stages to segment contacts in Brevo
4. Batch API requests - Use batch endpoints for bulk operations to stay within rate limits
5. Monitor webhook delivery - Set up retry logic and dead letter handling
6. Use incremental sync - Sync only changed records using the lastmodifieddate property

Security

• Private App Tokens - Scoped access tokens with granular permissions
• OAuth 2.0 - Industry-standard authorization with refresh token rotation
• Webhook signatures - HMAC-based signature verification (v3)
• TLS encryption - All API communication encrypted in transit
• Scoped permissions - Minimum required scope access per integration
