🚀 Product Updates

🔄 Access tokens on demand

We've added a new API endpoint that returns a valid access token for connectors that support OAuth refresh flows.

Previously, developers could retrieve refresh tokens from Hotglue but were responsible for implementing each provider's token refresh flow themselves.

Now, Hotglue handles the entire refresh lifecycle behind the scenes: invoking the connector-specific refresh logic, updating the stored credentials, and returning a fresh access token in a single API call.

No more maintaining provider-specific OAuth refresh implementations or worrying about the nuances of each platform's authentication flow.

Available today for HubSpot, QuickBooks, Dynamics 365 Business Central, and more.

🛠️ Reproduce ETL issues locally

Debugging a failed ETL job just got a lot easier. We've added a new hotglue etl setup-local-run command to the Hotglue CLI that recreates a job's execution environment on your local machine so you can reproduce exactly what happened in production.

The command downloads the job's input files and generates a .env file containing the environment variables that were present when the job ran, allowing you to debug against the same inputs and configuration used by Hotglue.

Once downloaded, run your ETL script locally using your preferred tooling. The generated .env file works with VS Code launch configurations or can be sourced directly from your terminal.

⚙️ A simpler way to customize connectors

We've redesigned the Customize Connectors settings page to make it easier to discover and configure the entities you want to sync.

The updated layout displays Bi-Directional Connectors, Sources, and Targets side by side, each with a description explaining when to use it. Instead of selecting from a dropdown before seeing your options, you can quickly scan the available categories and expand the section you want to customize.

The result: fewer clicks, less guesswork, and a faster path to the configuration you're looking for.

⚡ New Connectors

New connectors now available: Airwallex (payments), CMiC (construction ERP), 7shifts (restaurant operations), and Rillet and DualEntry (AI-native ERPs).

We're continuing to expand the Hotglue connector library to help you integrate with the systems your customers rely on every day.

That’s all for this month! Thanks for reading :)
