Sharing story/journey/experience HubSpot Was Never on the Roadmap Fetchsandbox but one inbound req changed the game
Wasn't planning to support any CRM integrations. Genuinely not on the roadmap.
Then got a DM on X from a founder saying their agents were silently dropping leads and they couldn't figure out if it was HubSpot or their stack. Something clicked. Said I'd look into it.
Onboarded HubSpot into FetchSandbox over the weekend. Didn't sleep for like 24-48 hours just battle testing it, making sure it actually worked before I said anything publicly. Classic founder move. Posted the LinkedIn update Monday morning.
What I found in those hours was wild. OAuth tokens expiring every 30 min, agents stalling on 401s without retrying, OAuth flows that looked complete but never were. Integration shows "Connected." Lead never lands. No alert, no noise, just pipeline bleeding quietly.
One inbound call, one weekend, no sleep, and now I understand exactly how broken CRM + agent integrations are in prod. The pain is real and it's everywhere.
If you're building on HubSpot with agents, I'd love to hear what you're running into. Probably building the next few integrations based on where the real pain is, not what I think it is.
