HubSpot Connection Issues

Troubleshoot OAuth errors, expired tokens, and reconnection problems.

If you're having trouble connecting your HubSpot portal or your connection has stopped working, here are the most common issues and fixes.

"Access denied" during OAuth

Cause: Your HubSpot user doesn't have sufficient permissions to authorize the app.

Fix: You need Super Admin access in HubSpot, or at minimum admin-level permissions. Ask your HubSpot admin to either grant you access or connect the portal themselves.

Connection worked but audits fail

Cause: The OAuth token may have expired or been revoked.

Fix:

  1. Go to HubSpot Portals
  2. Click the three-dot menu on the affected portal
  3. Select Reconnect
  4. Complete the OAuth flow again

Tokens can expire if:

  • Someone revoked the app's access in HubSpot settings
  • The HubSpot account's subscription changed
  • The connected user's permissions were changed

"Portal already connected" error

Cause: This HubSpot portal is already connected to your organization (possibly by another team member).

Fix: Check with your team — someone may have already connected it. Each portal can only be connected once per organization.

Slow or timeout during connection

Cause: HubSpot's OAuth service may be experiencing delays.

Fix: Wait a few minutes and try again. If the issue persists, check HubSpot's status page for outages.

Disconnected portal won't reconnect

Cause: The original app authorization may still be cached in HubSpot.

Fix:

  1. In HubSpot, go to Settings > Integrations > Connected Apps
  2. Find RevTrace and click Uninstall
  3. Return to RevTrace and click Reconnect
