Getting Started


Connect to HubSpot from RunMyProcess

To work with live HubSpot data in RunMyProcess, we need to connect to HubSpot from Connect Cloud, provide user access to the connection, and create a Workspace for the HubSpot data.

Connect to HubSpot from Connect Cloud

CData Connect Cloud uses a straightforward, point-and-click interface to connect to data sources.

  1. Log into Connect Cloud, click Sources, and then click Add Connection
  2. Select "HubSpot" from the Add Connection panel
  3. HubSpot uses OAuth to authenticate. Click "Sign in" to authenticate with HubSpot.
  4. Navigate to the Permissions tab in the Add HubSpot Connection page and update the User-based permissions.

Add a Personal Access Token

When connecting to Connect Cloud through the REST API, the OData API, or the Virtual SQL Server, a Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to authenticate the connection to Connect Cloud. It is best practice to create a separate PAT for each service to maintain granularity of access.

  1. Click on the Gear icon () at the top right of the Connect Cloud app to open the settings page.
  2. On the Settings page, go to the Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
  3. Give the PAT a name and click Create.
  4. The personal access token is only visible at creation, so be sure to copy it and store it securely for future use.

Configure HubSpot Endpoints for RunMyProcess

After connecting to HubSpot, create a workspace for your desired table(s).

  1. Navigate to the Workspaces page and click Add to create a new Workspace (or select an existing workspace).
  2. Click Add to add new assets to the Workspace.
  3. Select the HubSpot connection (e.g. HubSpot1) and click Next.
  4. Select the table(s) you wish to work with and click Confirm.
  5. Make note of the OData Service URL for your workspace, e.g. https://cloud.cdata.com/api/odata/{workspace_name}

With the connection, PAT, and Workspace configured, you are ready to connect to HubSpot data from RunMyProcess.

Retrieve HubSpot Data from RunMyProcess DigitalSuite Studio

With the connection to HubSpot and OData endpoints created, we are ready to add HubSpot data to RunMyProcess for Retrieval.

Create a Provider

  1. Log into RunMyProcess and open DigitalSuite Studio.
  2. Click Resources to bring up the Resources page, then select then the CONNECTORS tab.
  3. Click the + (New Provider) button to create a new provider, choose the account to use, then click Confirm.
  4. In the provider settings page, configure the following properties.
    • URL: Set the OData endpoint in the Connect Cloud OData page: https://cloud.cdata.com/api/odata/{workspace_name}.
    • Authentication Schema: Select Login/Password.
    • Login: Specify a CData Connect Cloud username (e.g. [email protected]).
    • Password: Specify the PAT of the Connect Cloud user.
  5. Fill in the same properties in the ACCEPTANCE and TEST tabs. Note: You can copy the configured settings by clicking 'Copy this configuration button,' then pasting the content in the new tab by clicking 'Paste previously copied configuration.'
  6. Click Save to save the properties.

Retrieve HubSpot Data by Creating a Connector

  1. In the CONNECTORS tab, click the button with three dots to create the provider, then select Add connector from the menu.
  2. In the following page, set Connector URL to the OData endpoint configured in Connect Cloud (e.g. https://cloud.cdata.com/api/odata/{workspace_name})
  3. Click Save then Launch to test the connector execution. Click Launch test to execute. The process is successful if you get the JSON response of your configured table information.
