How do I log emails?

To send a logged email using the add-in.

  • Compose a new email in Outlook.
  • Enter the email recipient, subject line, and the email body.
  • Open the sales tools in your inbox.
    • This will show up at the bottom right corner of your email composition window, as an orange HubSpot sprocket icon.
  • In the right pane, select the Log checkbox.
    • Any BCC address will auto populate in the BCC field.
  • By default, the add-in will automatically select the contact’s first three associated deal or ticket records to log emails to. To explicitly select which records the email will log to:
    • Click the dropdown menu next to the Log checkbox.
    • Select/clear the checkboxes next to the records you want to log the email to.
    • If you are sending the email to a recipient who isn’t a contact in your CRM, a new contact record will be created. Clear the checkbox if you don’t want the email to log to the new contact record.
  • Keep the HubSpot Sales pane open with the checkbox selected, then click Send.
