HubSpot's Webhook Capabilities

HubSpot supports webhooks in two primary ways:

1. Outbound Webhooks (Sending Data from HubSpot)
HubSpot can send webhook requests to external systems through several methods:

  • Webhooks API: Available for all subscription levels (Free to Enterprise), allows you to subscribe to events in HubSpot (contact creation, deal updates, property changes) and receive notifications at your specified endpoint

  • Workflow Webhook Actions: Available with Operations Hub Professional, enables sending webhook requests as part of automated workflows

  • Workflow Extensions: Custom actions that can trigger webhooks based on workflow enrollment


2. Inbound Webhooks (Receiving Data in HubSpot)
HubSpot can receive webhook data from external systems to trigger workflows

  • "When a webhook is received" workflow triggers: Available with Data Hub Professional/Enterprise, allows external systems to trigger HubSpot workflows by sending webhook data

Authentication and Security

  • OAuth for HubSpot API requests

  • Request signature verification with X-HubSpot-Signature header

Use Cases

Common webhook implementations include:

  • Syncing data between HubSpot and external CRMs

  • Triggering notifications in Slack or Teams when deals close

  • Updating billing systems when contacts are created
