The right panel with information about the company in the chrome extension opens every time I select a new letter in the lists. How do I disable this option? This was not the case before.
My entire team of 7 is also having this issue. Surely there has to be a way to disable the sidebar from displaying on every single email open that doesn't tie into disabling GDPR settings?
With the HubSpot Gmail Extension enabled, clicking on any message in Gmail results in a HubSpot informational sidebar loading.
This sidebar can be closed by clicking an X up top, but it re-loads with every message.
There is no way to persistently disable this feature.
It's the sidebar highlighted in red in the following screenshot.
This morning, I asked my team of 10 if they were seeing it too—and if any of them had found a way to disable it permanently (without removing the extension). All 10 said they had been trying to figure out how to disable it as well. The consensus among our team is that this feature is distracting, annoying, and even irritating—especially when the sidebar has just taken 15% of the screen to report the CRM doesn't have this contact.
I'm sure it's a fine feature for those who prefer to work out of their inboxes. Absolutely. And maybe, in time, those of us complaining will come around, but right now, this is really annoying—and it means that HubSpot interrupts us and wastes our time with unneccessary mouse clicks every time we open an email. This is the CRM getting in the way.
Can we please get a checkbox somewhere to "Display HubSpot sidebar in Gmail"? Turn it on by default—but let people turn it off and get back to work.
I'm sorry for the frustration caused by this. As explained below to Roland yesterday, this is expected behaviour when the GDPR tools are enabled in your portal.
I'd recommend posting an Idea in our Ideas Forum regarding this. That way other users can upvote it, and the Product Team regularly monitor the Forum. Please note that I'm not qualified enough to know the GDPR ins and outs regarding this.
Thank you @Rolandcrepeau for the clarification, I get it now.
After investigation, this is expected behaviour when you have the GDPR tools enabled in your account (Settings > Privacy & Consent) as mentioned in this article.
@Arki88 can you please clarify exactly what you're doing before the right panel opens? What do you mean exactly by "every time I select a new letter in the lists."? Can you send us a screenshot?
I'll piggyback onto this one. We need the option to turn this off persistently, please. The pop-up/over on every email is distracting and irritating.
Please. I've just spent half an hour reading threads related to people wanting to turn this off since 2017. Have removed, reinstalled, cleared cookies, cache, the works.
Those of us who are in the CRM all day do not need the CRM popping up in our inbvoxes. Please and thank you.
