Frequently asked questions

Why did I not see an error when I installed?

HubSpot sends you back into HubSpot whether or not the install worked, so RareMachine cannot show a message there. It shows the result on the Connections page the next time you open the dashboard.

Did the failed install change anything?

No. Each message below says Nothing was changed, except the one about your personal connection, where the workspace portal was saved.
