Hubspot Connector for SAP Crystal Reports Hubspot Connector can be used to integrate Hubspot and your data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete Hubspot data in a few clicks! In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Hubspot data in SAP Crystal Reports without coding. We will use high-performance Hubspot Connector to easily connect to Hubspot and then access the data inside SAP Crystal Reports. Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! Download Documentation Hubspot Connector for SAP Crystal Reports is based on ZappySys API Driver which is part of ODBC PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance ODBC drivers that enable you to integrate data in SQL Server, SSIS, a programming language, or any other ODBC-compatible application. ODBC PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few.

Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

Step-by-step instructions

To get data from Hubspot using SAP Crystal Reports we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Hubspot. We will later be able to read data using SAP Crystal Reports. Perform these steps:

1. Download and install ODBC PowerPack.

2. Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):

   

3. Create a User data source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

   ZappySys API Driver

   
   • Create and use User DSN if the client application is run under a User Account. This is an ideal option in design-time, when developing a solution, e.g. in Visual Studio 2019. Use it for both type of applications - 64-bit and 32-bit.
   • Create and use System DSN if the client application is launched under a System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. Usually, this is an ideal option to use in a production environment. Use ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit), instead of 64-bit version, if Windows Service is a 32-bit application.

4. When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Hubspot" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Hubspot" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:

   HubspotDSN

5. Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.

    Private app (Static Access Token) [Http]

   Private apps allow you to use HubSpot's APIs to access specific data from your HubSpot account. You can authorize what each private app can request or change in your account, which will generate an access token that's unique to your app. [API reference]

   Steps how to get and use Hubspot credentials
   

   Follow these instructions to create a Private app in HubSpot and configure HubSpot authentication in SSIS package or ODBC data source:

   1. First of all, go to HubSpot portal.
   2. Then click Data Management option on the left and then hit Integrations menu item:
   3. Move on by clicking Private Apps menu item and then click Create a private app button to create one:
   4. Then continue by following the instructions on HubSpot Docs.
   5. Once you create an app, go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and in Private App authentication set these parameters:
      • For AccessToken field use Access token value from the Private app configuration in HubSpot.
   6. Done! Now you are ready to use HubSpot Connector!

   Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

   HubspotDSN

   Hubspot

   Private app (Static Access Token) [Http]

   https://api.hubapi.com

   Required Parameters
   AccessToken	Fill-in the parameter...
   Optional Parameters
   RetryMode	RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch
   RetryStatusCodeList	429
   RetryCountMax	5
   RetryMultiplyWaitTime	True

   

    Public app [OAuth]

   In HubSpot, a public app is a type of integration that can be installed on customer accounts or listed on the App Marketplace. It requires authentication via OAuth. Once a user installs your app on their HubSpot account, you’ll be able to make API calls to that account using an OAuth access token. [API reference]

   Steps how to get and use Hubspot credentials
   

   Follow these instructions to create a Public app in HubSpot and configure HubSpot authentication in SSIS package or ODBC data source:

   1. First of all, if you don't have HubSpot Developer's account, register one.
   2. Go to HubSpot and select your Developer account.
   3. Click Apps on the left hand side and then click Create app button to create a Public app:
   4. Then continue by following the instructions in HubSpot Docs.
      NOTE: If you don't have a working Redirect URL, you can use https://zappysys.com/oauth (it's safe).

   5. Once you create an app, go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and in Public app authentication set these parameters (use values from your Public app configuration in HubSpot):
      • For ClientId field use Client ID value.
      • For ClientSecret field use Client secret value.
      • For Scope field use Scopes values, e.g.:

        accounting
        tickets
        files
        
        crm.lists.read
        crm.lists.write
        
        crm.objects.contacts.read
        crm.objects.contacts.write
        crm.schemas.contacts.read
        
        crm.objects.custom.read
        crm.objects.custom.write
        crm.schemas.custom.read
        
        crm.objects.companies.read
        crm.objects.companies.write
        crm.schemas.companies.read
        
        crm.objects.deals.read
        crm.objects.deals.write
        crm.schemas.deals.read
        
        crm.objects.quotes.read
        crm.objects.quotes.write
        crm.schemas.quotes.read
        
        crm.objects.line_items.read
        crm.objects.line_items.write
        crm.schemas.line_items.read
        

        NOTE: You can use other scopes too, but they must match the scopes defined in your Public app.

      • For ReturnUrl field use one of Redirect URLs.
   6. When you are done with that, click Generate Token button to generate Access and Refresh Tokens.
   7. Done! Now you are ready to use HubSpot Connector!

   Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

   HubspotDSN

   Hubspot

   Public app [OAuth]

   https://api.hubapi.com

   Required Parameters
   UseCustomApp	Fill-in the parameter...
   Scope (Must Match with App Scopes)	Fill-in the parameter...
   Optional Parameters

   • Done! Now you are ready to use HubSpot Connector!

   Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

   HubspotDSN

   Hubspot

   Developer API key (Deprecated) [Http]

   https://api.hubapi.com

   Required Parameters
   ApiKey	Fill-in the parameter...
   Optional Parameters
   RetryMode	RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch
   RetryStatusCodeList	429
   RetryCountMax	5
   RetryMultiplyWaitTime	True

   

6. Once the data source connection has been configured, it's time to configure the SQL query. Select the Preview tab and then click Query Builder button to configure the SQL query:

   Hubspot Connector can be used to integrate Hubspot and your data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete Hubspot data in a few clicks!

   HubspotDSN

   

7. Start by selecting the Table or Endpoint you are interested in and then configure the parameters. This will generate a query that we will use in SAP Crystal Reports to retrieve data from Hubspot. Hit OK button to use this query in the next step.

   SELECT * FROM Companies --Where Id=123

   
   Some parameters configured in this window will be passed to the Hubspot API, e.g. filtering parameters. It means that filtering will be done on the server side (instead of the client side), enabling you to get only the meaningful data much faster.

8. Now hit Preview Data button to preview the data using the generated SQL query. If you are satisfied with the result, use this query in SAP Crystal Reports:

   Hubspot Connector can be used to integrate Hubspot and your data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete Hubspot data in a few clicks!

   HubspotDSN

   SELECT * FROM Companies --Where Id=123

   
   You can also access data quickly from the tables dropdown by selecting <Select table>.
   A WHERE clause, LIMIT keyword will be performed on the client side, meaning that the whole result set will be retrieved from the Hubspot API first, and only then the filtering will be applied to the data. If possible, it is recommended to use parameters in Query Builder to filter the data on the server side (in Hubspot servers).

9. Click OK to finish creating the data source.
