I have just signed up for Hubspot via the free trail - I am looking to buy if the service works for me.
I thought Hubspot would allow me to manage one-on-one emails;
- Send emails from Outlook Web App and have them logge din HubSpot austomatically
- Receive emails to Outlook Web App and have them logge din HubSpot austomatically
- Receive reply emails to Outlook Web App and have them logge din HubSpot austomatically
- Notifiy me when emails are opened
I just cannot gety this to work considtently when sending emails from OWA or from HubSpot itself.
Any advice?
Hi @jagstirling
Thanks for sharing this — email logging and tracking is often one of the first things people want working smoothly, so I get why this feels frustrating during a trial.
I’d like to bring a few Community members into the conversation who are very familiar with Outlook Web App integrations and HubSpot email tracking.
@seosiri @RubenBurdin @suprdense — hope you’re all having a great week! Have you seen common reasons why one-to-one emails from OWA don’t log or track consistently (send, receive, replies, opens)? Any setup steps or trial-account limitations worth double-checking?
Appreciate any guidance you can share here.

Hey @jagstirling
Consider following:
-
Connect your Outlook inbox
HubSpot → Settings → Email → Connect inbox (Office 365).
-
Install the HubSpot Sales add-in for Outlook (OWA)
This is mandatory. The browser alone is not enough.
-
Before sending any email in Outlook
- Open the HubSpot add-in
- Turn Log ON (to save emails in HubSpot)
- Turn Track ON (for open notifications)
-
Send emails in HTML mode
Open tracking won’t work in plain text.
-
For guaranteed logging (fallback)
Use HubSpot’s BCC logging address in every important email. Visit: Track and log emails with the HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in | Knowledge Base
