10 Prompts To Get You Started Using HubSpot + Claude

Updated September 23rd, 2026 to reflect connector updates

The HubSpot + Claude connector is one of the fastest ways to bring AI-powered insights into your CRM. With just a few clicks, you can start asking Claude to summarize deals, visualize segments, and analyze support tickets, all with your HubSpot customer context baked in — and now take action on that data without leaving the chat.

In this post, we’ll walk through:

• Step-by-step setup (done in under 5 minutes)
• Permissions and admin requirements
• Troubleshooting tips if you hit a snag
• Best practices for a smooth rollout across your team

Step 1: Check Requirements

Before connecting, make sure you have:

• A HubSpot account with CRM access (any tier, including Free)
• A paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise)
• A HubSpot Super Admin or user with App Marketplace permissions (required for initial setup)

Pro tip: Once the Super Admin connects the account, individual users can connect their own Claude accounts without extra approvals.

Step 2: Enable the HubSpot Connector in Claude

1. In Claude, go to Settings > Connectors > Browse Connectors.
2. Search for HubSpot.
3. Click Add to Your Team.
4. Return to the Connectors tab, find HubSpot, and click Connect.

Step 3: Authenticate with HubSpot

1. You’ll be redirected to HubSpot.
2. Log in with your HubSpot credentials.
3. Select the HubSpot account you want to connect to.
4. Choose the permissions you want to allow the connector, then approve.

Once connected, you’ll be redirected back to Claude, where HubSpot will now appear as a verified connector in your settings.

Step 4: Run Your First Prompt

Now the fun part—using Claude with HubSpot data. Try prompts like:

• “List my open deals by stage and amount.”
• “Create a bar chart of support tickets by category.”
• “Summarize contacts who opened but didn’t click our last email.”
• “Log a note on this deal and create a follow-up task.”

Claude will respect your HubSpot permissions, so if you’re a sales rep, you’ll only see deals assigned to you.

Permissions Explained

• Read and write access: Claude can fetch data (contacts, companies, deals, tickets, quotes, invoices, engagements, and more) and, once a Super Admin opts your account in, can also create and update records like contacts and deals, and log notes and tasks — these write features are currently in beta.
• No deletes: The connector can’t delete records, regardless of permissions.
• HubSpot permissions apply: Users only see CRM data they’re already allowed to view.
• Sensitive data excluded: Custom properties marked as sensitive (e.g., personal health or financial data) are never shared.
• Audit logs available: Super Admins can view connection attempts and access history.

This ensures your data stays safe while still enabling powerful insights.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Can’t connect? Check that your Claude plan is supported (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise).
• Don’t see write features? A Super Admin needs to opt your account into the write/engagements update before Claude can create or edit records or access engagement history.
• Seeing sample/fake data? Your Claude account may need re-connection; disconnect and reconnect the HubSpot connector.
• Permissions error? Make sure a Super Admin enabled the connector first. Without that, other users won’t be able to connect.
• Data not showing? Check your HubSpot permissions — Claude can’t access data you don’t already have rights to.

Best Practices for Rollout

• Start with a Super Admin. They must connect the account first.
• Set write tools to “Needs Approval” at first. Let Claude draft changes for review before loosening permissions.
• Train your team on prompts. Share a starter prompt library for sales, marketing, and support.
• Validate insights. Always cross-check critical outputs in HubSpot before acting.

Final Thoughts

Connecting Claude to HubSpot takes less than 5 minutes, but it can save your team hours every week. With natural language prompts, you can skip manual reporting, cut prep time, and get actionable insights instantly — and now update records without switching tools.

Whether you’re in sales, marketing, service, or customer success, the HubSpot + Claude connector puts the power of AI reasoning directly into your CRM.
