Skill UI

This skill provides a practical guide to mastering core CRM functionality using the HubSpot API. It demonstrates full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations across Contacts, Companies, and Deals. Ideal for developers starting a new HubSpot integration, testing API connectivity, or learning fundamental business data management patterns.

This comprehensive guide covers the installation and authentication setup for the HubSpot API client SDK. It provides detailed instructions for both Private App Access Tokens and the full OAuth 2.0 flow. Use this skill when developing integrations that require secure access to HubSpot CRM data, such as contacts, companies, and deals.

A comprehensive guide to identifying and avoiding common anti-patterns and mistakes when interacting with the HubSpot API. Covers critical areas such as modern authentication (access tokens), batch operations, handling rate limits, association setup, and proper data retrieval, ensuring robust and scalable CRM integrations.

A comprehensive guide to setting up a robust and fast local development workflow for HubSpot integrations. This setup includes creating a client singleton, configuring unit and integration tests, and implementing API mocking utilities (using Vitest) to ensure development can proceed efficiently without relying on live HubSpot API calls or requiring excessive sandbox usage. Perfect for building reliable, scalable CRM connectors.

This guide details best practices for setting up and managing HubSpot integrations across development, staging, and production environments. It emphasizes the critical use of environment-specific access tokens, robust secret management (Vault, AWS/GCP SM), and implementing safety guards within CI/CD pipelines to ensure data integrity and prevent cross-environment deployment errors.

This comprehensive skill guides developers on implementing full observability for HubSpot API integrations. It details how to instrument calls using industry-standard tools, including Prometheus metrics (Counters, Histograms, Gauges), OpenTelemetry tracing, structured logging (pino), and configuring AlertManager rules. Use this when needing to monitor CRM integration health, track latency, detect errors, or manage rate limits for mission-critical API operations.

Master advanced techniques for optimizing API interactions with HubSpot. Learn to implement batch operations, utilize effective caching strategies (e.g., LRU), minimize property requests, and handle large datasets via efficient pagination and streaming. This skill dramatically improves throughput and reduces API call latency across CRM operations.

A comprehensive guide for implementing robust policy enforcement and security guardrails in HubSpot integrations. This methodology covers secret scanning within CI/CD pipelines to prevent token leaks, utilizes ESLint rules for enforcing modern authentication practices, and leverages TypeScript for compile-time and runtime checks. Use this when setting up secure, scalable, and compliant codebases for HubSpot APIs.

A comprehensive checklist and guide for securely deploying HubSpot CRM integrations to a production environment. It covers mandatory pre-deployment verification steps (like token scoping and secure storage), implementing robust health check endpoints, configuring critical monitoring alerts (rate limits, 401/429 errors), and executing post-deployment validation scripts to ensure system stability and reliability upon launch.

This guide provides advanced patterns for managing API rate limits, crucial for reliable integration with platforms like HubSpot. It covers implementing exponential backoff, honoring 'Retry-After' headers, using request queuing (throttling), and optimizing throughput through batch operations to gracefully handle 429 rate limit errors.

A comprehensive guide to implementing production-grade reliability patterns for HubSpot CRM integrations. Learn to build fault-tolerant systems using Circuit Breakers, advanced retry strategies, graceful degradation, and Dead Letter Queues (DLQ). Essential for maintaining high availability when connecting to external APIs.

This collection provides production-ready, idiomatic patterns for the @hubspot/api-client SDK, specifically tailored for TypeScript. It addresses critical development concerns including creating typed wrappers, implementing robust, structured error classification (handling rate limits, authentication issues, etc.), and managing efficient batch operations (create, read, upsert) for HubSpot CRM data. Use this when building scalable, reliable, and maintainable HubSpot integrations.
