Email inbox not connected?

SOLVE

Hello HubSpot Community,

 

I am currently experiencing issues setting up my email inbox correctly in HubSpot and am seeking your assistance.

 

So far, I have linked both my Gmail address and my business email address to the HubSpot CRM. However, when I click on the "Inbox" tab within the CRM, no emails are displayed. I am able to send emails directly from a contact or company record, and these emails are successfully delivered to my clients. However, whenever a client replies, I do not see these emails in my HubSpot Inbox.

 

I am attaching a screenshot that shows what my email settings Bildschirmfoto 2024-07-08 um 11.54.36.pngBildschirmfoto 2024-07-08 um 11.55.05.pngcurrently looks like.

 

I urgently need support for my business email communication and would appreciate any suggestions to resolve this issue.

Thank you and best regards,

@JJanßen if you want to see incoming emails to a specific address in HubSpot, you would have to follow these steps: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/inbox/connect-channels-to-the-conversations-inbox#connect-a-team-email...

 

If the email address is already used as a personally connected address, you would have to disconnect it, correct.

Email inbox not connected?

SOLVE

Hi @JJanßen,

 

HubSpot now has a beta that is not an inbox but at least a central view of all logged personal sent emails and replies to them:

 


Connected Email

Emails index page

December 3, 2024

What is it?

We’ve built the emails index page, where you can bulk manage your portal's 1:1 emails.

 

Why does it matter?

The emails index page now offers a centralized location to manage email engagements across senders and recipients, unlocking bulk data management activities such as deleting unwanted emails from your CRM.

 

How does it work?

Navigate to any CRM index page such as contacts.

 
karstenkoehler_4-1733288991643.png

 

Use the drop down in the top left of the page to select “Emails”.

 
karstenkoehler_5-1733289000053.png

 

Use all of the out of the box index page features to access the emails you are looking for: Advanced filters, Edit columns, Add views, Select all, Delete, etc.

If you accidentally delete emails, use the actions drop down in the top right to restore records.

Once opted into the beta, you can use the 'Advanced filters' on the emails index page to filter for emails where 'Activity assigned to' is yourself, then clone and save the view for easy access:

Email inbox not connected?

SOLVE

Hi @JJanßen,

 

HubSpot differentiates between a individually connected email address and connected team email addresses:

 

For a personal connected email address, there is no inbox in HubSpot. HubSpot assumes that you are still using your email client (Microsoft Outlook, Gmail or similar) alongside HubSpot. It's not possible to access incoming emails to your connected personal address in HubSpot.

 

For team email addresses, incoming emails will be stored in a conversations inbox and accessible to all users who have inbox access. The conversations inbox is meant as a shared channel for incoming requests that do not have a dedicated recipient yet but are sent to team addresses (sales, support, contact etc).

 

Best regards!

Hi, thank you for your quick reply. 

Understood, I dont need my personal email account in hubspot anyway. 

What is your recommendation then? Delete/deactivate my personal GMail Account in Hubspot?  Will this solve my problem?

Hey @JJanßen 

 

This is because connecting a personal email: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/connected-email/connect-your-inbox-to-hubspot

These are 2 different things!

 

Kindly refer to these knowledgeable articles to understand the difference and let me know if you have any followup questions on this!
