2. Click "New App"
3. Enter a prompt describing your app (e.g., "a simple CRM that connects to HubSpot to import contacts")
4. Choose Firebase for integrations, database, and storage
5. Let DataButton generate the initial version of your app

DataButton will create a series of tasks to build your app, starting with setting up a landing page and configuring Firebase for authentication.

Implementing Core CRM Functionality with DataButton

Once you've set up the basics, it's time to add core CRM functionality to your app. DataButton makes this process straightforward by breaking it down into manageable tasks:

Creating a Dashboard Layout

DataButton will automatically generate a dashboard layout with navigation and a user profile section. This serves as the foundation for your CRM interface.

Building Contact Management Features

Next, you'll add contact management capabilities to your CRM. DataButton will guide you through creating a contacts page where you can view and manage your imported contacts.

Developing a Contact Detail View

To provide a comprehensive view of each contact, DataButton will help you create a contact detail page with edit functionality. This allows you to view and update individual contact information easily.

Setting up HubSpot API Connection

2. Navigate to Settings > Private Apps
3. Create a new private app with the necessary scopes (e.g., CRM.objects.contacts.read)
4. Copy the generated API token

Implementing the Contact Import Feature

DataButton will guide you through the process of adding the HubSpot API token to your app securely. Once connected, you'll be able to fetch and import contacts from HubSpot directly into your custom CRM.

Creating an Import UI with Connection Status Indicators
