# Create a Hubspot company

This example shows you how to create a Smart Action `"Create company in Hubspot"` that generates a company in Hubspot based on information from your database.

{/* markdown-link-check-ensable */}

## Requirements

* An admin backend running on forest-express-sequelize
* [superagent](https://www.npmjs.com/package/superagent) npm package
* a Hubspot account

## How it works

### Directory: /models

This directory contains the `companies.js` file where the collection is declared.

### Directory: /routes

This directory contains the `companies.js` file where the smart action logic is implemented. 

In this logic a Hubspot company instance is created through a /post create company call to the Hubspot API.

<Info>
  The Hubspot API key is defined in the `.env` file and requested through the expression `process.env.HUBSPOT_API`.
