E-Mail: Change or delete prior conversations in HubSpot-Emails

Hello HubSpot Community

Unfortunately, it is not possible yet to change or delete certain contents of an ongoing email conversation when answering in HubSpot. This means, that for an example a forwarded email of a team member which contains certain internal information, this forwarded message and internal information can not be deleted as well as signatures or content, that is not necessary to have in your email answer to your customers.

Why would really appreciate this function though. What do you think about this feature?

Me too. I think this is a great idea

Thanks Remo!

This would be great for our Support!!

Very Useful!

We also need this as emails are forwarded all the time to the right department.

Would be very helpful to our support team as well.

Absolutely a must. It is a deal-breaker for my client. A basic thing they need.

Fully agree.

We need the ability to delete previous parts of the conversation (especially internal comments).

Hopefully HubSpot can make this change soon.

This has been requested by our users as well.

Will this be a possibility?

I agree this is crucial to base functionality of replying, there may be sensitive information that should not be passed on.

Following-up on this, I think it is extremely necessary to have as emails are forwarded internally to departments all the time. Need to reduce the risk of unwanted emails being sent to customers.

I also think it is essential. Be glad if someone has a workaround for this problem.

This need to happen. If I am contacting clients from a forwarded email that contains internal information I don’t want the client to see I have to create a new email thread. Thanks.

Enabling this feature would substantially improve Hubspot’s functionality.

This is very much needed for a client of ours. Often receiving emails with internal and external parts, and they need to delete internal parts from the thread and forward on. Not possible at the moment. You can delete from HubSpot, but when forwarding, the deleted parts are still there. Not a clear and simple workaround without going back to Outlook to manage.

Strongly requesting this for one of my clients as well

Need this for a client too

I think this is really important. Sometimes a sales person will send over a clients email to a conversations inbox (which then creates a ticket) and they want to add their own thughts/comments, but we don’t necesarily want the client to see these in our reply.

After our company, which by the way is a software development company, joined Hubspot nearly a year ago, I can’t believe that there are so many little things - and a few major ones - that are not handled better in such a ‘mature’ and costly system. This one, preventing previous emails being included in return threads, is a major issue both from a readability and security standpoint.
Please will someone at Hubspot take a look at the user comments on here and get something moving to resolve this as the conversation had been ongoing since 2019 - maybe if your customers took as long to pay their invoices as you do to respond then maybe things would move faster!

Hi everyone! You can now edit email conversation history in both Help Desk and Conversations Inbox, so this is getting marked as Delivered. You can read more about this product update and how it works here! This is available for all hubs & tiers. :slightly_smiling_face:
