“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Setting HubSpot workflows to private visibility doesn’t solve the underlying Google Sheets integration permissions issue because private workflows still access the same marketplace app integration.
Here’s how to implement true owner-controlled data flows that provide the security you’re looking for.
Implement user-specific sheet access with individual connections using Coefficient
CoefficientThe problem with workflow visibility settings is that they don’t address the root cause. Even private workflows use the shared marketplace app integration that exposes all sheets to any workflow creator.offers a more effective solution through user-specific sheet access.
HubSpotWithand Coefficient, each user can establish their own connection to Google Sheets, accessing only their designated sheets without exposing others’ data.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up individual user connections.
Each user creates their own Coefficient connection to Google Sheets through their personal Google account credentials. This ensures they can only access sheets they have direct permission to view and edit.
Step 2. Eliminate shared integration dependencies.
Rather than multiple users sharing a single marketplace app integration, Coefficient allows each user to maintain separate, controlled connections to specific sheets or ranges they’re authorized to access.
Step 3. Configure owner-controlled data flows.
The original sheet owner maintains complete control over who can export data to their sheets through Coefficient’s connection management, without relying on workflow visibility settings.
Step 4. Replace workflow exports with scheduled exports.
Use Coefficient’s scheduled exports that operate independently of HubSpot’s shared integration environment. These exports run under individual user permissions, providing true workflow owner visibility control.
