For Agents
Configure a HubSpot app's webhook subscriptions and target URL so HubSpot pushes change events for CRM objects to your service.
Use for: I need to subscribe my app to HubSpot contact creation events, Update the webhook target URL for my HubSpot app, List all webhook subscriptions for an app, Activate a HubSpot webhook subscription that is currently paused
Not supported: Does not handle CRM record CRUD, file delivery, or workflow execution - use for managing webhook subscription configuration only.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for the HubSpot Webhooks API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Webhooks API lets a HubSpot app subscribe to change events on contacts, companies, deals, tickets, and other CRM objects. It manages subscription rules per app and configures the target URL HubSpot calls when matching events occur. Settings, individual subscriptions, and batch subscription updates are all managed through this surface.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Webhooks API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Webhooks API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fhubapi.com%2Fhubspot-webhooks-api" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fhubapi.com%2Fhubspot-webhooks-api" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Webhooks API.
Configure the target URL HubSpot calls when subscribed events fire
Create event subscriptions on contact, company, deal, and ticket changes
Activate or deactivate individual subscriptions without deleting them
Batch-update subscription state for an app in a single call
List every subscription configured for a HubSpot app
Tune throttling settings for high-volume event delivery
Delete obsolete subscriptions to stop event delivery
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Webhooks API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Real-Time CRM Sync
Integrations that mirror HubSpot CRM data into another system (data warehouse, customer success platform, support tool) subscribe to creation, update, and deletion events. The Webhooks API configures the subscriptions and the target URL; HubSpot then POSTs event batches to the URL, and the integration applies the changes downstream within seconds rather than polling.
Create a subscription for app 12345 with subscriptionDetails type 'contact.propertyChange' and propertyName 'lifecyclestage', then activate it
Deal Pipeline Notification
Sales operations want notifications when deals move stages or close. The Webhooks API subscribes the app to deal.propertyChange events on dealstage and amount, and the target URL fans the events into Slack, email, or a custom dashboard. Tuning throttling in the settings endpoint controls how aggressively HubSpot batches and retries deliveries.
Create a subscription on event type 'deal.propertyChange' for propertyName 'dealstage' and configure target URL https://example.com/hooks/hubspot/deals
Bulk Subscription Management
Apps installed in many portals end up with dozens of subscriptions that need coordinated activation, pausing during maintenance windows, and bulk deletion when retired. The /subscriptions/batch/update endpoint changes active state across many subscriptions in one call, which is critical for keeping the deployment idempotent.
Call POST /webhooks/v3/{appId}/subscriptions/batch/update with the list of subscriptionIds and active set to false to pause delivery during maintenance
Agent-Driven Webhook Provisioning
An AI agent that owns a HubSpot app's deployment process uses Jentic to provision and reconcile webhook subscriptions. It searches for 'create hubspot webhook subscription', loads the schema, and posts the desired-state subscriptions; subsequent runs detect drift and PATCH or DELETE to converge on the configured set.
Search Jentic for 'create hubspot webhook subscription', load the schema, and reconcile the live subscriptions against the desired-state list for the app

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the HubSpot Webhooks API by hand means passing the developer hapikey as a query parameter, tracking the app and subscription ids across api.hubapi.com, and shaping subscription payloads yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Webhooks API from the API Directory, store the hapikey once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
HubSpot puts the app id in the URL path (/webhooks/v3/{appId}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one app: it reads and creates webhook subscriptions for that app and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so PATCH or DELETE on a subscription is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your HubSpot developer hapikey is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a hubspot webhook subscription', and Jentic returns POST /webhooks/v3/{appId}/subscriptions with its input schema, including the subscriptionDetails and active fields, so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Webhooks API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for the HubSpot Webhooks API?
HubSpot does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call the HubSpot Webhooks API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.
What authentication does the HubSpot Webhooks API use?
It uses the developer hapikey passed as a query parameter on every request, scoped to the developer account that owns the app. Jentic stores the developer key in its encrypted vault and provides agents with a scoped token at execution time so the raw key never enters the agent's context.
Can a single subscription cover multiple property changes?
No. Each subscription targets a single eventType plus optional propertyName. To watch several properties on the same object - for example dealstage, amount, and closedate on deals - create one subscription per property. Use POST /webhooks/v3/{appId}/subscriptions/batch/update to manage their active state together.
What are the rate limits for the HubSpot Webhooks API?
Standard developer API limits apply: 100 requests per 10 seconds per developer account for the management endpoints. The runtime delivery rate (events HubSpot sends to your target URL) is governed by the throttling settings on /webhooks/v3/{appId}/settings - typical limits are 1,000 events per 10 seconds per app.
How do I subscribe my app to contact creation events through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'create hubspot webhook subscription', load the schema for POST /webhooks/v3/{appId}/subscriptions, and execute with subscriptionDetails of type 'contact.creation'. Then PUT /webhooks/v3/{appId}/settings with the target URL where HubSpot should deliver events.
Is the HubSpot Webhooks API free?
API access is included with HubSpot's developer programme, which is free to join. Webhooks are delivered to any portal that has installed the app, regardless of subscription tier; the throttling and event types available scale with the developer account.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the HubSpot Webhooks API?
Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted, so your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use. Because HubSpot puts the app id in the URL path (/webhooks/v3/{appId}/...), a rule can pin the agent to a single app, letting it read and create webhook subscriptions for that app and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so PATCH or DELETE on a subscription is excluded unless you explicitly add it, and the developer key is injected at execution time rather than exposed to the agent.
