After you have installed the Portant app you can
When you install the Portant App, you need to make sure you have all the permissions to do so. If you don't you may be prevented from installing the app. Here is a list of the permissions needed to install the Portant app:
This permission allows users to install third party applications. This is required to install Portant.
These permissions provide access to the resources within HubSpot. View permissions (Read) are used by Portant to fetch automation data. Edit permissions (Write) are used by Portant to store output document data on the related object used within the automation:
Contacts
Companies
Deals
Tickets
[Required] Contact Lists
This permission allows users to access lists of contacts. Portant uses this scope only in the Portant Workflow interface to allow users to run automations directly on an entire list of contacts. Only “View” access is required for Portant to access contact lists.
This permission allows users to create and edit custom properties on existing HubSpot objects. Portant uses this permission to create custom properties on existing objects to store output document data such as statuses and links.
This permission allows users to fetch data about other users in their HubSpot account. Portant uses this data to convert user IDs to human readable data (e.g. names/emails). This is often used in the context of the “owner” of a resource such as a deal.
This permission allows users to view custom objects in HubSpot. Portant uses this permission to fetch data of custom objects when they are associated with a primary object that is used within an automation. Only view access is required for Portant to fetch this data. In the example below “Ducks” is an example of a custom object. 🦆
Portant can automatically save any generated PDFs as attachments. To do so you need to grant access to the Notes permission, here:
Portant can be a Connected app in Hubspot Workflows, which means you can run a Portant Workflow as an action within a HubSpot Workflow like this:
Despite their being a granular permission that allows users to set up automations within their HubSpot account we have discovered that “Super Admin” is required once the “automation” scope is used.
For this reason we have made this an optional permission.
Note - After you have made the user a Super Admin they will be able to use Portant Automation Actions. But then you can revert the permission and the user will still be able to use the Automation actions.
Please follow these steps to disconnect HubSpot from Portant:
Navigate to this page: https://app.portant.co/settings/permissions
Click on the Manage button next to HubSpot
Then click 'Disconnect' as shown below
After you have done this, your account will be disconnected.
If you would then like to uninstall Portant from your HubSpot account, please follow these steps
Navigate to the HubSpot App Marketplace.
Then click Manage apps here:
Then click the Actions button under Portant and then Uninstall
After you have completed this, the Portant App will be removed from your HubSpot account. This will not remove any data from your Portant account, or documents from your Google Drive.
If you would like to completely remove all your data from Portant and delete your account, please send a data deletion request to this email contact@portant.co, and your data will be deleted within two business days.
If you have any other questions about data and how Portant manages it, please email contact@portant.co 😀
Note - you only need to add this permission if you have added to you HubSpot Account. (Custom Objects are only available in the Enterprise HubSpot subscriptions)
