How to Add HubSpot Extension to Outlook

The traditional HubSpot Sales Outlook desktop add-in is no longer supported due to significant changes introduced by Microsoft in the new Outlook for Windows. As a result, HubSpot recommends transitioning to the HubSpot Sales web add-in, which is compatible across PC, Mac, and Office online, ensuring a broader range of support and functionality.

To add the HubSpot extension to Outlook, you have two primary methods depending on your setup: the HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in for those using Office 365 hosted email accounts, and the HubSpot Sales Chrome extension for Gmail users accessing their email through Chrome. It's important to choose the method compatible with your email setup for optimal performance.

Installing the HubSpot Sales Office 365 Add-In

To install the HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the add-in on Microsoft AppSource by clicking here.
2. Click Get It Now on the left sidebar.
3. In the dialog box that appears, click Continue.
4. You'll be redirected to your Office 365 account. Click Add to complete the installation.

Once installed, you can access HubSpot's templates, documents, and sequences directly from your Outlook inbox. For users who need to install the add-in across multiple email accounts within Outlook, repeat these steps for each account.

Office 365 admins have the option to centrally deploy the add-in to all users within the organization, ensuring everyone has access without individual installation. Follow Microsoft's centralized deployment instructions to add the HubSpot Sales add-in from the Office Store.

Installing the HubSpot Sales Chrome Extension

For Gmail users or those preferring to use the Chrome browser, the HubSpot Sales Chrome extension offers a convenient way to integrate HubSpot with your email. To install:

1. Visit the HubSpot Sales extension page on the Google Chrome store.
2. Click Add to Chrome, and log into your HubSpot Sales account when prompted.

This extension allows you to access HubSpot's sales tools directly from your Gmail inbox, enhancing your email productivity and tracking capabilities.

Note: Google's Rapid Release track is not compatible with the extension. If your organization uses this release track, consult with your IT team about switching to the default release track for compatibility.
