Integrating Symphona with HubSpot CRM
Welcome to our comprehensive integration guide, aimed at helping small and midsize business owners effortlessly connect Symphona with HubSpot CRM. This no-nonsense guide will pave the way for you to automate your workflows by integrating these powerful tools, without the need for deep technical knowledge.
Step 1: Setting Up Your Symphona Workflow
Log in to your Symphona dashboard and begin by finding and selecting the “New Process” button typically located in the upper-right corner. This initiates the creation of a new automated workflow that will communicate with your HubSpot CRM.
Step 2: Naming Your Process
Once your workflow is created, name it appropriately and provide a descriptive summary. Find your process listed on the main dashboard, hover over it, and choose “Edit Process.” You are now in the Process Editor, where you can define the actual steps of automation.
Step 3: Adding Integration Steps
Inside the Process Editor, scan the right-hand side for the “Step Library.” Within this library, select the “Integration” category, then choose and drag the “Invoke REST API (General)” step into your workflow, making sure it falls between the “Start” and “Stop” points.
Step 4: HubSpot API Configuration
Configuring the API calls for HubSpot involves two critical details – the endpoint URL specific to HubSpot’s CRM and the correct authentication credentials:
Endpoint URL
- The endpoint URL is the unique address for the HubSpot API that your Symphona workflow will send requests to. You can find specific endpoint documentation within the HubSpot Developer Documentation that corresponds to the data you need to integrate (e.g., contacts, deals, tasks, etc).
Authentication Credentials
- Authenticating your Symphona application with HubSpot hinges on acquiring an API key or OAuth credentials. HubSpot typically recommends using OAuth for added security.
- To obtain these credentials, you'll need to set up a developer account with HubSpot and create an app. Within the app settings, you can configure the OAuth settings to receive a client ID and secret. These will enable the app to request an access token that Symphona will use to make API calls to your HubSpot CRM data.
- Maintain the secure storage of your credentials and never expose them publicly.
In each API call step you configure in Symphona, choose the HTTP method that aligns with your objective (GET for retrieving data, POST for creating new data, PUT for updating existing data, DELETE for removing data), and ensure you provide the right endpoint URL and authentication details.
Step 5: Activating Your Workflow
With the technical setup complete, test your workflow thoroughly to iron out any kinks. Ensure that data is flowing correctly between Symphona and HubSpot, and adjust configurations if necessary. Once testing confirms everything is functioning as expected, activate your workflow in Symphona.
