HubSpot (Private App)
This guide shows you how to create a HubSpot private app with read-only access and get its access token. You then share the token with the Customerscore.io team, who take care of the rest.
Step 1: Create a Legacy Private App
- Log in to your HubSpot account as a super admin
- Click the Settings icon in the top right corner
- In the left-hand menu, go to Integrations → Legacy Apps
- Click the Create legacy app button in the upper right corner
- Select the Private option
In the first step, name the app Customerscore.io and proceed to the Scopes section.
Step 2: Add Read Scopes
Click the Add scope button and select the following scopes. All of them are read-only.
| Scope | Description |
|---|---|
crm.objects.companies.read | Read your companies |
crm.objects.contacts.read | Read your contacts |
Click the Create app button in the top right corner and confirm to finalize the creation of your private app.
Step 3: Copy the Access Token
Once the app has been created, open the Auth tab of your app and click Show token. Copy the access token.
Step 4: Share the Token with Customerscore.io
Send the access token to your contact on the Customerscore.io team. Use a secure channel, such as a password manager share, rather than plain e-mail or chat.
Revoking Access
To revoke Customerscore.io's access at any time, delete the private app in HubSpot under Settings → Integrations → Legacy Apps, or rotate its token on the Auth tab.
