Need Help with HubSpot Lead Object Permissions Setup

Casper S. · 2025-10-16 13:47:15.798421+00

I'm trying to create a Hubspot Lead Object in a table but it seems I need extra permissions to be defined? As if I was creating a Private HS app persmission set for an endpoint? What am I doing wrong here? Link leads to https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/apps/legacy-apps/authentication/working-with-oauth

The error indicates your HubSpot account lacks the required scopes for creating Lead objects. When connecting HubSpot to Clay, you need to authenticate with an account that has proper permissions. [1]
To fix this: Click + Add account in the HubSpot integration modal and authenticate with a HubSpot account that has the necessary permissions to create Lead objects. [2] The authentication process grants Clay the permissions it needs to read from and write back to your HubSpot data.
If you continue having permission issues, you may need to check your HubSpot account's user permissions or use a different HubSpot account with admin access. [3]

Hey Casper, I'm not able to pull up that table. Did you by chance delete it? If possible could you send it again so I can have a look?

Casper S. you need to give more scopes to your private apps, go to integrations <> legacy apps<> your private app <> scopes <> add scopes <> save and try again. if you are dealing with contacts, search for contacts in the scopes section and see which scopes you probably need and select them.

That would be my fallback, however the other Hubspot Integrations in Clay (associations, lookup, update) work out of the box, so would love if someone from Clay (Mitch H.?) could confirm this is indeed the case

Stepping in for Mitch here! Confirming what was mentioned above^ and after checking our logs that this seems to be a scopes issue, as it seems that your Hubspot app doesn't have the 'write' scopes needed for creating records.
You'd have to go into your scopes settings within Hubspot and enable the relevant scopes for the object type you're hoping to create. There's more information here about this specifically which may help as you work through this: https://developers.hubspot.com/scopes.
Hope that helps and let me know if you have more questions on this!
