Browser Window Opened in Outlook Not Using Default Browser
SOLVE
I installed the HubSpot Sales Tool extension/add-in in Outlook.. When you are looking at a contact in the extension/add-in, there is a link that you can click on to call the contact from your computer (please note - when I call from the HubSpot website It works). When I click on that link the add-in/extension opens the CRM in a new window, but it opens it in Interet Explorer - instead of my default broswer Chrome. I get an error because HubSpot does not support IE and wants me to download Chrome again. I have updated all of my software, confirmed that Chrome is my default and spent hours with Microsoft trying to solve this problem. They even went so far as to install the Salesforce add-in/extension on their end and found that Salesforce opened using the default browser (Chrome) not Internet Explorer. It is their firm belief that the problem is in the "Call" Link and how it instructs the pop-up window to open. I need help solving this problem
Because the O365 app in Outlook runs in an Internet Explorer window, all new windows will be open in Internet Explorer. This is not a setting that HubSpot controls, or that can be changed.

I can imagine how frustrating this situation must be for you. It sounds like you've gone through a thorough troubleshooting process, and it's disappointing that the issue persists. Since Microsoft's team has identified the problem as potentially related to the "Call" link, it might be worth reaching out to HubSpot's support directly. They might have encountered a similar issue before and could provide specific guidance or a solution.
In the meantime, if you haven't already, you could also check if there are any updates or patches available for the HubSpot Sales Tool extension or Outlook that might address this compatibility issue.
I hope you can get this resolved soon. It's certainly a frustrating situation, especially when you rely on these tools for your work.

Browser Window Opened in Outlook Not Using Default Browser

I'm able to send emails this way but only through Safari on the Outlook site and none of them are in my outbox when I open the Outlook application on my Mac or in my IONOS mail (or anywhere else). I keep trying to install the add-in but I'm getting this error mesaage: "The custom error module does not recognize this error." I tried deleting all cookies for outlook and closing the application but I still get the error. Can you please advise on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Having the same problem with "Sales Tools"... but much more basic.
I'm looking at an email and trying to open the contact record by clicking "Open in CRM". By default it opens IE. For those of you who don't know, IE **bleep**... I'm trying to make a task / note / whatever, and the pop up on the record goes off the screen.
Yes I have latest version of everything... yes I have chrome as my default... every other link i click in outlook opens in Chrome.
In fact... I just discovered this while typing. The original HubSpot Sidekick is still loaded... it has the "Open in CRM" option when I have an active email open... and that magically uses Chrome. What the heck?

Thank you for this information and for all of the troubleshooting you have done!
As Internet Explorer is the browser connected to Outlook, that is why you are being prompted to IE despite your computer's settings.
Do you mind confirming you have the most updated version of IE?
Additionally, can you please share a screenshot of what you are seeing in Outlook, and where you are getting stuck? When you click "open in CRM" are you able to open the page successfully? Does the browser open in Chrome or IE?
The more information, screenshots and details you can provide, the better the Community can assist!

Thanks for your response. Yes, I have the most updated version of IE.
When you click "open in CRM" are you able to open the page successfully? YES. When I click on "open in CRM" it opens correctly but still in IE. It is when I click on "view contact" and then on "call" that a window opens in IE and gives me an error message that says this:
Notice to HubSpot Calling usersHubSpot Sales Calling is not recommended for use with this browser due to browser limitations. Please try using Google Chrome instead.

I HATE the IE broswer.
Is there anything we can do to click on "open in CRM" when using the Outlook Sales Tools (aka Hubspot Sidekick) and have the page open in our default browser?
Edit:
I just confirmed that IE is used when using links in the main Outlook window. However, if I popout an email, the sidekick links actually do open up in my default browser. This is nice to know, but still frustating behaviour. Why can a default browser be used in the popout window but not in the main window?
