Hi everyone!
I’m new to n8n and experiencing an issue with the Hubspot Trigger event for ticket creation. The trigger for "On Contact Created" works fine, but when I try to listen for tickets, I receive a Bad Request error stating I don’t have permissions for ticket creation.
I have configured the developer API key, App Id, Client Id, and Client Secret, and added the required Hubspot scopes for n8n:

When I create a ticket, I get a Bad Request error due to missing permissions for ticket creation:

After adding the tickets scope to the App:

I now get the following error when trying to reconnect my app with the new scopes:

Any assistance to resolve these permission issues would be greatly appreciated.

Below is some guidance to resolve your permission issues:
Verify and Update Scopes
• Make sure that your HubSpot app has indeed been configured with the additional “tickets” scope.
• Double‑check that after adding the scope you saved the changes in HubSpot’s app configuration.
Reconnect Your Credentials
• Once you update the scopes, the previously issued access token still carries the old set of scopes.
• To update the token with the new permissions you must disconnect and then reconnect (re‑authenticate) your HubSpot credentials in n8n.
• This forces HubSpot to issue a new token with the full set of authorized scopes, including “tickets.”
Consider the Authentication Method
• While the Developer API key method is available with HubSpot Trigger node (using Developer API key, App Id, Client Id, and Client Secret), note that HubSpot has deprecated the legacy API Key approach.
• If problems persist even after re‑authentication, consider switching to an authentication method that supports both App tokens and OAuth2. For example, using OAuth2 might simplify managing scopes in some cases.
Summary
- Confirm that the “tickets” scope is enabled in your HubSpot app.
- Fully disconnect and remove the current credential in n8n.
- Reconnect/re‑authenticate to pick up the new set of scopes.
- If the issue remains, verify with HubSpot’s documentation whether additional configuration or a different authentication method (e.g. OAuth2) is recommended for ticket-related triggers.
Following these steps should resolve the “Bad Request” error due to missing permissions. If you continue running into trouble, please refer to HubSpot’s app documentation and ensure that any required updates are done on both the HubSpot side and in your n8n credentials.
