“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.”
HubSpot’s native Google Sheets integration exposes all sheets in your connected account to any user with workflow creation permissions, with no built-in filtering options.
Here’s how to implement granular sheet access controls that solve this security limitation while maintaining your workflow functionality.
Control sheet visibility with connection-level permissions using Coefficient
CoefficientThe fundamental issue with HubSpot’s marketplace app integration is its all-or-nothing approach.provides a superior alternative by offering granular connection-level controls that let you specify exactly which sheets each user can access.
HubSpot’sInstead of relying onbroad marketplace integration, you can create specific sheet connections that only expose designated sheets or cell ranges to authorized users.
How to make it work
Step 1. Create specific sheet connections in Coefficient.
Navigate to the “Connected Sources” menu in Coefficient and establish connections to only the Google Sheets that should be available for workflow integration. Each connection can target specific sheets or even specific cell ranges within those sheets.
Step 2. Set up user-specific data connections.
Configure different team members with their own Coefficient connections to only the sheets they should access. This eliminates the security risk of unauthorized sheet visibility that comes with organization-wide marketplace apps.
Step 3. Replace workflow exports with scheduled exports.
Use Coefficient’s scheduled exports feature instead of HubSpot workflows to push data to sheets. This provides better access control and doesn’t require exposing all sheets to workflow builders.
Step 4. Manage connections through the admin dashboard.
Through Coefficient’s “Connected Sources” menu, administrators can manage, rename, and delete specific sheet connections, providing oversight that HubSpot’s marketplace integration lacks.
