Is there a way to tell hubspot who “I” am? So when I open email chains it doens’t flag that as the recipient taking action? Something like Google Analyics lets me filter out internal traffic to my site, I’d like to filter out my own activity from my customers and prospects.

Thx!

Hi @RXA,

Yes, these self-open email notifications can be blocked with the HubSpot Sales Outlook desktop add-in or the Chrome extension. You can find the instructions here: [Block self-open email notifications with the HubSpot Sales Outlook desktop add-in or Chrome extension](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/email-tracking/block-self-open-notifications-with-the-hubspot-sales-outlook-add-in-or-chrome-extension)

Hope this helps!

Hi @RXA ,  
From your post what I got that you are trying to exclude internal emails on email analytics page results? Am I right.  
Currently this seems impossible but this is in planning. Check here: [HubSpot Community - Exclude internal emails on email analytics page results - HubSpot Community.](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Exclude-internal-emails-on-email-analytics-page-results/idi-p/188690)

Hope this helps!

If we were able to answer your query, kindly help the community by marking it as a solution.  
Thanks and Regards.

Thanks for the links, I was able to find the solution here: [Manage your HubSpot Sales extension settings](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/connected-email/manage-your-hubspot-sales-extension-settings#blocked-ip-addresses)

Here’s the instructions:

To find your own IP address, you can do one of the following:

- Go to [http://whatismyip.com](http://whatismyip.com/) or [http://ip4.me/](http://ip4.me/). Your IP address will display at the top of the screen. If you are working remotely, this could change frequently.
- Ask your IT department for this information.
- Call your internet provider and ask them what your IP range is.
- Find out if your internet provider can provide you with a static IP for your corporate office or home network and use that instead.

For best results, confirm that you’re using the [latest version of Google Chrome](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95414?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en& __hstc=20629287.2411e6cef3902177022ec771c999a3b4.1586375239396.1597757186264.1597761345373.414&__ hssc=20629287.1.1597761345373&__hsfp=2501840128). When you have your IP address or the IP address you want to block:

- In your HubSpot account, click the **settings icon** settings in the main navigation bar.
- In the left sidebar menu, navigate to **General**.
- Click the **Email** tab.
- In the _Email extension settings_ section, click **Manage blocked IP addresses** _._
- In the dialog box, enter an **IP address** , then click **Add**.
