Hubspot Connector for UiPathHubspot 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 UiPath without coding. We will use high-performance Hubspot Connector to easily connect to Hubspot and then access the data inside UiPath. Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! Hubspot Connector for UiPath 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 UiPath we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Hubspot. We will later be able to read data using UiPath. Perform these steps:
-
Download and install ODBC PowerPack.
-
Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):
-
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.
-
Create and use User DSN
if the client application is run under a User Account.
This is an ideal option
-
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:
HubspotDSNHubspot -
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 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:
- First of all, go to HubSpot portal.
-
Then click Data Management option on the left
and then hit Integrations menu item:
-
Move on by clicking Private Apps menu item
and then click Create a private app button to create one:
- Then continue by following the instructions on HubSpot Docs.
-
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.
- Done! Now you are ready to use HubSpot Connector!
Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:
HubspotDSNHubspotPrivate app (Static Access Token) [Http]https://api.hubapi.comRequired Parameters AccessToken Fill-in the parameter... Optional Parameters RetryMode RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch RetryStatusCodeList 429 RetryCountMax 5 RetryMultiplyWaitTime True 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

(it's safe).- 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.
- When you are done with that, click Generate Token button to generate Access and Refresh Tokens.
- Done! Now you are ready to use HubSpot Connector!

This will generate a query that we will use in UiPath 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 datamuch faster .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 UiPath:

You can also access data quickly from the tables dropdown by selecting <Select table>.AWHERE
clause,LIMIT
keyword will be performed on the client side, meaning that thewhole 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).Click OK to finish creating the data source.

Read Hubspot data in UiPath Studio (workstation)
Here we will be reading Hubspot data on your workstation. To accomplish that we will create and run UiPath process package locally. Later on, we'll explore how to publish the package to Orchestrator and run it remotely. For now, let's focus on working locally and get started!
- Open UiPath Studio.
- Before we really begin the work, make sure UiPath Studio is set as your profile (blue application icon).
-
In case, it is set to UiPath StudioX, you can change it in UiPath StudioX Settings:
Simply select UiPath Studio option:
-
Start by creating a new project based on UiPath Process template:
-
Add Run Query activity in Main Sequence box:
-
Click Configure Connection... button to create an ODBC connection:
-
Continue by clicking Connection Wizard:
-
When the window opens, select ODBC-based driver, provider, and then choose ODBC data source:
HubspotDSNHubspotDSNYou can also select Use connection string option and use whole ODBC connection string instead. Obtain the connection string by pressing Copy Settings button in your data source configuration.
-
Once you do that, it's time to configure a SQL query:
Make sure, you enclose the query in double quotes!
-
Proceed by adding a Write CSV activity after Run Query:
In this article we are using Write CSV, but you can freely add any other destination of your choice, e.g. Write DataTable to Excel.
-
Once you do that, configure the added Write CSV, this will write Hubspot data to a CSV file:
-
It's time for fun! Which means it's time for debugging! Just run the package locally to debug:
-
Finally, ensure there are no execution errors!
Run UiPath package using Orchestrator (via robot)
UiPath also offers the ability to execute packages remotely using Orchestrator and a robot. This is achieved by publishing the package to UiPath Orchestrator, installing UiPath Assistant on the remote machine, connecting it to Orchestrator, enabling us to run the package remotely. It may sound complicated at first glance, but further steps will clear things out. Let's not waste our precious time and delve into the details!
Publish process package from UiPath Studio
- First of all, open the UiPath process package we created in the previous step
-
Set the option that our process package Starts in Background:
-
We are ready to Publish it:
-
Make sure, you publish it to the Shared folder in UiPath Orchestrator Tenant workspace:
-
Finally, success! We are ready for the next step - creating UiPath robot - so we can automate the job:
Create robot in UiPath Orchestrator
-
First of all, let's open UiPath Orchestrator from UiPath Automation Cloud console:
-
It's time to create a robot, which will run unattended packages:
-
But first we have to create a runtime. Choose to host our robot on-premise, not in UiPath infrastructure:
-
Let's move along and Create new machine template, this will create a machine in UiPath Orchestrator:
-
Configure the machine to run in Production environment:
-
We are ready to Create new robot account in the new machine:
-
Let's make our robot to work only on background automations:
-
Continue by selecting newly created robot:
-
Select Shared folder, so that everyone in the team can benefit from it:
This is the folder where we published our UiPath process package "MyProcess"
-
We are almost done!
We are given machine Client ID and Client secret which we will use to connect UiPath Assistant to our created machine in Orchestrator.
Let's leave this open for a while and see how we can do it in the next step.
Connect UiPath Assistant to Orchestrator
We are ready to connect UiPath Assistant to the machine we created in Orchestrator. UiPath Assistant will run our package in a remote machine. Let's connect it and give it some work!
- Connect to a remote machine (where your UiPath process package will be running).
- Install UiPath Studio there.
- Then configure ODBC data source:
If you chose Use user or system data source option in connection configuration, when creating UiPath process package, then create an identical ODBC data source on the same remote machine. Use the same configuration as the one created in your workstation in the first step.
Use Copy Settings and Load Settings buttons to make your life easier. They will help you to transfer settings between different ODBC data sources.If you chose Use connection string option, then you don't have to do anything. However, you still have to install ODBC PowerPack on the remote machine.
-
Continue by opening UiPath Assistant and going to Preferences:
-
Find Orchestrator Settings menu item and click it:
-
And here even bigger fun begins! But fear not, all you have to do is open your web browser window with Client ID & Client secret we obtained in the previous step and simply copy and paste those values into UiPath Assistant. Also, don't forget to configure Orchestrator URL:
-
Finally, we get rewarded for the hard work with the Connected as Unattended status:
Create and run UiPath process in Orchestrator
We are at the finish line! Let's create and run UiPath process. This will execute the package on your remote machine using the UiPath Assistant configured earlier.
- First of all, open UiPath Orchestrator from UiPath Automation Cloud console.
-
Then proceed by going to Process in Shared folder:
-
Continue by simply clicking on Add process button:
-
Select the process package we created in UiPath Studio:
-
Rest a while, and just hit Next, unless your package has requirements:
-
Then simply hit Create button:
-
But let's not stop here and Start the process by creating a job right away:
-
Use the same Production runtime we created before and hit Start:
-
We've reached the final step! In the CSV destination file or destination of your choice you should see Hubspot data:
