This is a great new feature for activity logging, it works as intended with Gmail.
However, it seems that it takes away the ability to quickly open the objects associated with the email (contact/company/deal)!
Before (if the email was already logged) you could open the associated objects. Today that section is replaced by the “Log email to HubSpot” button; which unforunately does not list the objects as hyperlinks. To get to them you need to add in a few extra click and go via the extension sidebar on the right.
It would be great if the objects listed in the “Log email” would be a hyperlink to their HubSpot page @hroberts!
