Hey team,

HubSpot’s been auto-creating companies and contacts anytime someone outside the org sends us an email. It’s helpful for Sales since it captures new referrals and updates contact info.

But here’s the problem: we all get tons of marketing emails, and HubSpot’s turning every one of those into a new company/contact record. It’s flooding the CRM with junk.

If I turn off the “Create and associate Companies with Contacts” setting, it stops this completely—but that also means Sales loses a feature they actually rely on.

Is there a smarter way to handle this? Ideally, I’d want to exclude most users from the automation but keep it on for Sales.

Hi @Sgram,

It sounds like this is happening through a connected conversation inbox? [Set up the conversations inbox](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/inbox/set-up-the-conversations-inbox)

If so, you can define which emails you want to create conversations, contacts, and companies through these rules: [Manage the allow and deny list in the conversations inbox or help desk](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/inbox/manage-your-inbox-s-allow-and-deny-list)
