Connect magnews to HubSpot

Updated

To use the HubSpot connector, the first step is to connect your HubSpot account to magnews.

This setup allows the two platforms to communicate and exchange data securely, enabling contact synchronization and the sharing of marketing information.

Once the connection is established, you can configure data import and data export between the two systems.

Connection methods

You can connect magnews to HubSpot in two ways, depending on the type of integration you need.

Private App (recommended option)

This is the simplest and fastest solution, where the connection is based on a token generated in HubSpot.

  • Best for: single-account integrations
  • Main advantage: quick setup
  • Required: an Access Token generated in HubSpot

Public App

This is the standard method for more structured integrations, based on the OAuth2 protocol.

  • Best for: multi-account or distributed scenarios
  • Main advantage: centralized permission management
  • Required: Client ID and Client Secret

Configuration in HubSpot

Before connecting magnews, you need to create an app in HubSpot and obtain the required credentials.

Create a Private App

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Private Apps
  2. Create a new Private app
  3. Configure the required scopes, for example:
    • crm.export
    • crm.import
    • crm.objects.contacts.read
    • crm.objects.companies.read
    • crm.schemas.custom.read
    • communication_preferences.read
  4. Save and copy the Access Token

Create a Public App

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Legacy Apps
  2. Create a new Public app
  3. Configure the Redirect URL:
    https://be-mn1.mag-news.it/be/oauth/client
  4. Set the same scopes defined above for the Private App
  5. Save Client ID and Client Secret

Connect HubSpot to magnews

Once you have the credentials, you can complete the connection directly in magnews.

  1. Go to the Connect section in magnews
  2. Select HubSpot and click Connect
  3. Choose the connection method:
    • Access Token (Private App)
    • OAuth2 (Public App)
  4. Enter the required credentials

At this point, magnews is connected to HubSpot.
