Authenticate with HubSpot resets

I have exactly the same issue. Each morning I get the message Better HubSpot for Gravity Forms - HubSpot oAuth Connection Invalid. Please connect to HubSpot. Plugin will not work correctly until valid credentials provided.

Is there anything that can be done to get rid of this message every morning? It’s important to know since we’re planning on going live soon and I need to search for an alternative if this continues.

Thanks!

edit: the FAQ says:

Why do I keep losing my oAuth connection?

HubSpot’s oAuth API requires a new token roughly every 8 hours. If no one visits the website for more than an 8 hours period, this script can’t get a newer token, and has to be re-validated. We are still working on a way to resolve this. However, at this point it will likely require a server CRON being set up.

We highly recommend you use oAuth: it’s more secure, and you can safely (and easily) revoke access at any time through HubSpot.

So I can be sure that this message will not be there if the site is visited regularly?

Yes, but as I’ve suggested in the FAQ as well, while oAuth is more secure, it’s unreliable if people aren’t visiting the site every 8 hours for CERTAIN. The WP Cron requires users to be visiting the site, so if it goes beyond the 8 hours between visiting (like it typically does at night), it’ll fall apart, because we can’t even re-authenticate even if we have an older token… once it expires.

You are better off using the API key method (also described on the plugin)… or setting up a server-side cron (in beta).

I’m sorry for the delay on this, we’ve been swamped with other work. ??

Hi and thanks for answering! The cron sounds better in terms of security. Do you mean it’s in your beta? I’d be happy to test, shall I email you via your website?

I mean “beta” as it’s included in the plugin, but I have not been able to thoroughly test it yet. But the code appears solid, and I’ve tested it OUTSIDE of cron successfully.

If you look at the plugins folder you can find it here:

/gravityforms-hubspot/library/cron.php

Just set up a server side CRON using that, run it around every 6 hours or so?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on it, and let me know if it works fine fully set up ??

Thanks for clarifying. I will have this set up and will let you know if it works!

Hey Daniel,

How’d the cron work out? Really hoping it worked great for you ??

Hi Chris,

It took some time to set the cron, but it’s done and I’ve just switched back from API to oAuth. I’ll let you know very soon ??

Unfortunately:

Better HubSpot for Gravity Forms – HubSpot oAuth Connection Invalid. Please connect to HubSpot. Plugin will not work correctly until valid credentials provided.

Switching back to the API.

This has been completely resolved as of v2.0, fyi ??

Ha thanks! I changed directly after reading the change log ?? Seems to work now!
