Automatically deploy a HubSpot CMS project to your account 🚀

In your GitHub repo, create two new secrets for:

• HUBSPOT_PORTAL_ID - This is your HubSpot account ID
• HUBSPOT_PERSONAL_ACCESS_KEY - Your personal access key

This guide walks through setting up a new workflow file that automatically uploads new changes on your main branch to your HubSpot CMS account. If you're adding a deployment step to an existing workflow, you can skip ahead.

1. In your project, create a GitHub Action workflow file at .github/workflows/main.yml
2. Copy the following example workflow into your main.yml file.

on:
  push:
    branches:
    - main
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2.3.3
      - name: HubSpot Deploy Action
        uses: HubSpot/hubspot-cms-deploy-action@v1.5
        with:
          src_dir: <src>
          dest_dir: <src>
          portal_id: ${{ secrets.hubspot_portal_id }}
          personal_access_key: ${{ secrets.hubspot_personal_access_key }}

3. Replace the src_dir with the directory of your CMS project in your repo
4. Replace the dest_dir with the directory it should be uploaded to in your target account
5. Commit and merge your changes

Note: Do not change the portal_id or personal_access_key values in your workflow. Auth related values should only be stored as GitHub secrets.

If you'd like to auto-deploy to a staging branch, you can create an additional workflow that runs on push your QA branch and deploy to a different HubSpot. account

on:
  push:
    branches:
    - qa
...
portal_id: ${{ secrets.staging_account_id }}

To add HubSpot CMS deployment as a step in an existing GitHub Action workflow, add the following step:

- name: HubSpot Deploy Action
  uses: HubSpot/hubspot-cms-deploy-action@v1.5
  with:
    src_dir: <src> ## ex. src
    dest_dir: <src> ## ex. my-theme
    portal_id: ${{ secrets.hubspot_portal_id }}
    personal_access_key: ${{ secrets.hubspot_personal_access_key }}

Note: You can configure your action to run based on different criteria, such as pushing to a QA branch. Learn more about events that trigger actions here.

• src_dir - Project directory relative to the repo
• dest_dir - Target directory in HubSpot

• HUBSPOT_PORTAL_ID - Target account id
• HUBSPOT_PERSONAL_ACCESS_KEY - Authentication key
