Provisioning users to Hubspot

If your business uses or is willing to use enterprise marketing softwares such as Hubspot or Salesforce, WSO2 IAM solution has the ability to interact with those systems while giving you the simplicity to manage your organizations' identities from a single place.

This topic provides instructions on how to integrate HubSpot with WSO2 Identity Server to provision users from WSO2 Identity Server. After completing this tutorial, you can see the users you add using WSO2 Identity Server being created in HubSpot and lead information updates in WSO2 Identity Server being updated in HubSpot as well.

Configuring HubSpot

  1. Test accounts are created and managed within developer accounts.

    If you do not have a developer account in HubSpot, you can sign up from here.

    Note

    Once you sign in to your developer account, you can create an app or a test account.

  2. Create a test account.

  3. Add a test account name and create an account. The created account appears with the corresponding details as shown below.

  4. Click on the application and navigate to settings>Integration>API key.

  5. Click the Generate Key button and copy the API key.

Configure WSO2 Micro Integrator

In the WSO2 Micro Integrator, an API is deployed which will act as a proxy for receiving SCIM requests and invoking the Hubspot APIs via the HubSpot connector. Follow the steps given below to deploy the MI application.

  1. Download WSO2 Micro Integrator.
  2. Download the MarketingSoftwareIntegrationCompositeApplication_1.0.0.car.
  3. Navigate to <WSO2-EI-HOME>/micro-integrator/repository/deployment/server/carbonapps and place the downloaded file.

  4. Navigate to <WSO2-EI-HOME>/bin and start the server by executing one of the following commands.

    Linux/MacOs: sh micro-integrator.sh
Windows: micro-integrator.bat run

  5. After the server starts, navigate to the <WSO2-EI-HOME>/micro-integrator/registry/config/custom directory and edit the file to configure the HubSpot API key as follows.

    <EndPointsList xmlns:ns1="http://endpoints">
<APIKEY>7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx8</APIKEY>
</EndPointsList>

Configuring Identity Server

Step 01: Set up Identity server and configure a required claim

  1. Download WSO2 Identity Server.

  2. Navigate to <IS_HOME>\bin and start the server by executing one of the following commands.

    Linux/MacOS: sh wso2server.sh
Windows: wso2server.bat run

  3. Access the WSO2 Identity Server Management Console using the admin credentials.

  4. Click on List under Claims on the left pane and click http://wso2.org/claims.

  5. Click edit on " Telephone" and uncheck supported and required checkboxes.

  6. Then click edit on " Phone Numbers" and select supported and required checkboxes.

Step 02: Configure HubSpot as the identity Provider

  1. On the Management Console, click Add under Identity Providers.
  2. In the form that appears, provide a name for your identity provider by filling in the Identity Provider Name. You can use "HubSpot.com" as an example, but this can be any name you choose.

  3. Expand the Outbound Provisioning Connectors section followed by the SCIM Provisioning Configuration section.

  4. Check the Enable Checkbox and give the Username and Password as given below.

  5. The value of the User Endpoint should be the same as the SCIM receiving endpoint that we deployed in the MI.

    Username: admin
Password: admin
User Endpoint: https://localhost:8253/hubspot/contacts

  6. Click Update and save the configuration

Step 03: Configuring the outbound provisioning

Now we need to enable sending out provisioning requests to the previously configured provisioning system for any user management operation done via the management console, SOAP API, or the SCIM API. To do that, you must configure outbound provisioning identity providers against the resident service provider. So, based on the outbound provisioning, users created in WSO2 Identity Server can also be provisioned to external systems like HubSpot or Google Apps.

  1. Log in to the Management Console using the username and password.
  2. In the Main menu under the Identity section, click Resident under Service Providers.
  3. In the resulting screen, expand the Outbound Provisioning Configuration section.

  4. In the Outbound Provisioning Configuration section, do the following.

    1. Select the identity provider you added from the drop-down menu available and click the + sign to add it. If you have not added an identity provider yet, this step is not possible.
    2. Once added, the identity provider is displayed as an entry in the list. Select scim from the drop-down to ensure that the SCIM operation is used for provisioning.
    3. If the option, Blocking is enabled, the outbound provisioning request will be blocked until the response is received. By default, the request would be non-blocking.
    4. If the option, Enable Rules is enabled, the outbound provisioning request will be executed along with the XACML rules enabled.
    5. Click Update to save your configurations.
