I've noticed some strange behaviour very recently with the chrome extension, Hubspot Sales & gmail:
1. When I launch Chrome, the Hubspot Sales extension has suddenly started to 'hijack' the first page/tab and now loads a page telling me that 'HubSpot Sales Extension requires a HubSpot account' (which I have but which, at that point, I haven't logged into).
2. Normally, I login to hubspot sales directly and, when composing a gmail, I get the usual radio button to track the email in hubspot sales.
Today however, direct login (via https://login.hubspot.com/login/) did not seem to make the connection between my email account and my hubspot sales account as the tracking option was still grayed out. I actually had to login via the extension button to get the tracking option in my gmail active.
I've not made any changes to my setup so not sure why this behaviour should suddenly start like this. Something isn't right somewhere so, after giving some product feedback, I've been asked to raise it here so other Hubspot staff/experts can see it.
I recommend first uninstalling and then reinstalling the HubSpot Sales extension. Once you have reinstalled, please log in to the extension using the credentials that match your HubSpot Sales account.
After you have done that, please visit this URL: app.getsidekick.com/restart
This will cause a hard refresh to your HubSpot Sales extension, causing a reconnection of your inbox and HubSpot, which I believe should stop this strange behavior going forward.
If you continue to see problems, then I recommend checking your chrome settings and ensuring that cookies are enabled as this is required for your the extension to recognize that you are logged in.

Please be aware though that I, like many others, do a cleanup at the end of the day whem closing down. This means that cookies etc are wiped clean (I use ccleaner plus Advance SystemCare) so if you are expecting cookies to remain on my machine(s) then that won't happen.
The extension behaved itself perfectly well until recently so I'm not sure what happened.
If it starts playing up again, I'll start a new thread. For now, this one can be marked as 'solved'.
