With the HubSpot Sales Chrome extension for Gmail, HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in, or the HubSpot Sales Outlook desktop add-in, you can access your sales tools directly from your inbox. Refer to the table below to determine which extension or add-in is compatible with your setup.
Please note: starting April 5, 2022, the Office 365 add-in will no longer be compatible with Outlook for desktop on Microsoft Office 2013-2019. You can download and use the Outlook desktop add-in instead, or continue to use the Office 365 add-in on Outlook on the Web. You could also consult with your IT administrator and update to Microsoft Office 2021 or the latest version of Office 365.
If you decide to download the Outlook desktop add-in, make sure to also uninstall the Office 365 add-in.
