Frequently asked questions
Which email providers can I connect to HubSpot?
You can connect Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or a custom IMAP-based inbox through the Email Integrations settings.
Will every email I send get logged in HubSpot?
Logging behavior depends on your rules and blocklists, so you can control which addresses get excluded from tracking.
Is my email password stored by HubSpot?
No, the connection uses OAuth authentication, so HubSpot never sees or stores your email password directly.
How do I confirm the sync is working?
After connecting, check your status row in settings and send a test email to verify it appears in your CRM timeline.
