Not supported: Does not handle email threads, call recordings, or task creation — use for HubSpot CRM note engagement records only.

The HubSpot CRM Notes API manages the note engagement object that captures free-text annotations on contacts, companies, deals, and tickets in HubSpot. It supports single-record CRUD, batch read, batch create, batch update, batch upsert, batch archive, and search across note properties and associations. Use it to log AI-generated meeting summaries, sync notes from a sales engagement tool, or surface annotation history on a contact timeline.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Notes API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Log AI-Generated Meeting Summaries

After a call or meeting, an AI summarisation pipeline can post the summary as a HubSpot note linked to the contact and deal so reps see the recap on the timeline without leaving the CRM. The note creation endpoint accepts an associations array, and rich-text bodies render natively in the HubSpot UI.

POST /crm/v3/objects/notes with hs_note_body containing the meeting summary text and an associations array linking the note to the contact and deal IDs.

Sync Notes from a Sales Engagement Platform

Mirror notes captured in a dialer, email tool, or revenue-intelligence platform into HubSpot so the CRM remains the unified record of conversations. Batch upsert keyed by an external note ID handles both create and update in one call, which suits a sync that runs every few minutes off platform webhooks.

POST /crm/v3/objects/notes/batch/upsert with up to 100 note records keyed by external_note_id and associations to the corresponding contact records.

Agent-Driven Note Search and Triage

An AI agent inside a sales-ops copilot can search across notes for keywords (objections, blockers, named competitors) to surface accounts that need attention. Through Jentic, the agent finds the note search operation by intent and runs filterGroups against hs_note_body, returning the matching deals or contacts for downstream action.

POST /crm/v3/objects/notes/search with filterGroups for hs_note_body CONTAINS_TOKEN 'pricing', sorted by created date descending, returning the top 50 with associated contact and deal IDs.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

HubSpot OAuth and Private App tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped access references, never raw tokens.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'create a HubSpot note') and Jentic returns the note operation with its full input schema, including the associations array shape.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 1-2 days for OAuth, association handling, and batch sync. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes.

Complementary

HubSpot CRM Calls

Calls are the sibling engagement object for logged phone interactions

Use CRM-calls when the engagement was a phone call; CRM-notes for free-text annotations

Complementary

HubSpot CRM Contacts

Notes are typically associated with one or more contact records

Use CRM-contacts to look up the contact ID before posting a note that links to it

FAQs

Specific to using Notes API through Jentic.

What authentication does the HubSpot Notes API use?

OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens or HubSpot Private App tokens in the Authorization header. Jentic stores the token encrypted in the vault and provides the agent with a scoped reference, never the raw token.

Can I attach a note to multiple records in one call?

Yes. POST /crm/v3/objects/notes accepts an associations array on the request body so a note can link to a contact, the contact's company, and a related deal in a single request.

What are the rate limits for the HubSpot Notes API?

Standard HubSpot quotas apply: 100 requests per 10 seconds for OAuth apps and 110 for Private Apps, with daily caps that vary by Hub tier. Batch endpoints accept up to 100 records per call and count as one request, which is the right pattern for high-volume note ingestion.

How do I post an AI-generated meeting summary as a note through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, call client.search('create a HubSpot note on a contact'), client.load to get the schema for POST /crm/v3/objects/notes, and client.execute with hs_note_body containing the summary text and an associations array linking the contact and deal IDs.

Can I search notes by their text content?

Yes. POST /crm/v3/objects/notes/search supports filters on hs_note_body using operators such as CONTAINS_TOKEN, which is how you find notes mentioning specific keywords across the portal.

Does this API support attachments on notes?

Yes. The hs_attachment_ids property on a note holds a comma-separated list of file IDs from the HubSpot Files API. Set the property at create or update time to attach files to the note.
