Connect HubSpot to Rankply
Publish to HubSpot Blog via a Private App access token. Follow the steps below — it takes about 4 minutes.
How to connect HubSpot
Any HubSpot account with Marketing Hub Starter or above (required for Blog).
Sign in to your HubSpot account.
Click the Settings gear (top-right) → in the left sidebar, scroll to Integrations → Private Apps.
Click Create a private app (top right).
On the Basic Info tab, name the app Rankply.
Open the Scopes tab → CMS → tick content (this includes blog read/write).
If you don't see CMS, look for Content → and tick content. The name varies slightly by HubSpot tier.
Click Create app (top-right) → confirm. HubSpot shows you the access token.
Copy the token (long string starting with pat-).
Paste it into Rankply.
If it doesn’t work
- Private Apps are NOT the same as HubSpot Marketplace apps — you don't need a Marketplace listing or a developer account. Private Apps live entirely inside your own portal.
- The Free HubSpot CRM doesn't include the Blog tool. You'll need at least Marketing Hub Starter to publish posts via the API.
What Rankply does once connected
Articles every month
Every month your account manager writes 4 articles aimed at the prompts you're losing — drafted with AI, written up and fact-checked by a person — and sends them to you before anything reaches HubSpot.
You approve, we publish
You read each article and approve it or ask for changes. Then we publish it on your HubSpot site with title, body, cover image and tags — or leave it as a draft if you'd rather press Publish yourself.
We track what AI engines cite
Every month we re-run the same prompts on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, so you can see whether AI engines start naming you — with the raw answers as proof.
