Hi community,
I’m trying to integrate HubSpot with n8n using OAuth2, but I keep getting this error, even though I’ve already added the scopes the platform requires:
“Couldn’t complete the connection. Authorization failed because the provided scopes are missing [crm.schemas.companies.write, crm.schemas.contacts.write, crm.schemas.deals.write, crm.objects.leads.read, crm.objects.leads.write], which are required for the app to function. Please contact the app developer for assistance.”
WHAT I’VE ALREADY DONE STEP BY STEP
-
Added the required scopes in the HubSpot app:
-
crm.schemas.companies.write
-
crm.schemas.contacts.write
-
crm.schemas.deals.write
-
crm.objects.leads.read
-
crm.objects.leads.write
-
-
Also added these additional ones (read, write, and some extras suggested by forums and documentation):
-
oauth
-
forms
-
tickets
-
crm.objects.companies.read
-
crm.objects.companies.write
-
crm.schemas.companies.read
-
crm.schemas.contacts.read
-
crm.objects.contacts.read
-
crm.objects.contacts.write
-
crm.objects.deals.read
-
crm.objects.deals.write
-
crm.schemas.deals.read
-
crm.objects.owners.read
-
crm.lists.write
-
-
Saved changes in the HubSpot app, closed and reopened the configuration to confirm the scopes were there.
-
Removed any previous connections (“Connected Apps”) and started everything from scratch.
-
Verified the redirect URI: It’s exactly the same in both n8n and HubSpot.
-
Recreated the HubSpot credential in n8n, pasting the same scopes.
-
Authorized the app from n8n using a HubSpot account with admin permissions.
-
Tested in different browsers, cleared cache/cookies, and also tried creating the app as a “Private App”.
PROBLEM
Despite all of the above, I keep receiving the same missing scopes error and can’t proceed with the integration. In the app configuration, all the scopes are already showing, but HubSpot/n8n still doesn’t recognize them during authorization.
QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY
-
Has anyone successfully integrated n8n with HubSpot using these granular “write” and “leads” scopes?
-
Could this be a limitation based on HubSpot account type (I’m using [specify if it’s free, starter, developer, etc.])?
-
Is there a hidden step to enable these scopes, or a known bug in n8n/HubSpot with these permissions?
-
Any tricks to force a scope refresh or clear the app cache in HubSpot?
Any suggestions, experiences, or solutions you have would be greatly appreciated. If you need screenshots of the configuration or more details, I can upload them.
Thanks in advance!
