Ability to Search, Sort and use Shortcuts for Snippets in Outlook Sales Add-in

[vwilliams7]

I’m submitting this Idea on behalf of a customer and other Users who actively use the Outlook Sales Add-in.
As many users find themselves using Outlook primarily for Sale purposes. Over the years there have been updates to the other HubSpot Sales Add-ins/Extensions (O365 and Google Chrome)
But a few things, in particular, seem to be lacking in the User’s experience in Outlook who have to use it. One of the features is the limited ability when using Snippets in the application.

Having the ability to search, sort and use shortcuts in snippets will be extremely helpful especially once your portal reaches a threshold that has too many Snippets to manage in a drop-down to find.

This will make any User’s time creating emails and their workflow much more efficient. This will provide many growth opportunities and workflows for their accounts. They can feel reliable and effective with their email interactions and experience. And also with HubSpot.

If not the ability for shortcuts, a search and sort function could be helpful It would be super helpful to know if this is something that can be added in the future or if there is a reason for the limitations between the Add-in and Outlook for Desktop.
Idea post asking for Snippets on Gmail and Outlook, which led to Chrome Extension and O365 Add-On having Snippet updates but having no update for Outlook PC

Along with Snippets, Meetings also need to be searchable from within the add-in. Some of us work across several time zones, and we offer different meeting times to different parts of the world. Thank you!

Hi, just following up here regarding whats next to come for HubSpot Sale’s for Outlook Desktop, which uses VSTO add-in:

Microsoft recently announced a new version of Outlook that does not support VSTO add-ins, and with that its intention to move away from the VSTO add-in framework entirely. This announcement naturally impacts the HubSpot Sales VSTO add-in along with any other VSTO add-in.

Over the past few years, HubSpot customers could choose between these two HubSpot add-in options when working with Microsoft email clients. Going forward HubSpot customers should use the web add-in to integrate HubSpot’s sales functionality into their email. As Microsoft extend support to additional inbox providers (e.g. IMAP, POP3, Yahoo, etc. ), customers can move to the new Outlook for Windows and leverage the web add-in.
