# Calling real-time workflows from HubSpot

Using HubSpot's **Send a webhook** workflow action, you can call Middle in real-time to execute a synchronous workflow and provide a response to HubSpot.

## How to call Middle from a HubSpot workflow

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a **HubSpot workflow that sends a webhook**

Create a workflow in HubSpot and a **Send a webhook** step
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure your webhook step

Configure your **Send a webhook** step as follows:

#### Method

Select **POST.** The endpoint to run a workflow in Middle is a POST endpoint.

#### Webhook URL

The **Invoke URL** from your [real-time workflow API endpoint](/middle-docs/product/real-time-workflow-api.md#configure-a-real-time-workflow-api-endpoint).

It will look something like this:

`https://integrate.middle.app/api/workflow-invoke/239j4023r2323rimno32r/`

#### Authentication type

Select **API Key**.

#### API key

Click to create a new HubSpot secret. Enter the [API key](/middle-docs/product/real-time-workflow-api.md#create-an-api-key) for the relevant Middle account with "Bearer " prefixed to the key.

If your API key is `1234abcd56789efghij` then you'd enter `Bearer 1234abcd56789efghij`.

#### API key location

Select **Request header**.

#### Request body

Build out the properties and static values for your request to match the input variables in the begin step of the workflow you want to call.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Test your webhook action

Use HubSpot's webhook testing to run a test call to your workflow. You can then review the workflow executions for the workflow in Middle.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Error troubleshooting

### 401

If you receive a `401` response from Middle, ensure that you correctly filled out the inputs in the previous step. Ensure that you prefixed your Middle API key with "Bearer " when creating your HubSpot secret.

### 404

If Middle returns a `404`, make sure the webhook URL matches the **Invoke URL** in the real-time trigger for your Middle workflow.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.middle.app/middle-docs/guides/app-reference/hubspot/calling-real-time-workflows-from-hubspot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
