Share personal email inbox

SOLVE

Is there a way for attach a personal gmail account so that other users can see my inbox?

 

We deal with extremely timely and important requests that would usually go through a shared inbox we have connected to Hubspot. However, these requests are sometimes sent to personal email addresses.

 

Is it possible for users to see our personal email inbox?

 

This would be extremely important if a member of the team is sick or on vacation.

Share personal email inbox

SOLVE

Hi @LFenton20,

 

If your personal email is connected to HubSpot, then replies to your emails will show up in records in HubSpot. There is however no general inbox for personal emails in HubSpot. So in that sense, no, it's not possible to share your personal inbox in HubSpot with other users as it doesn't exist in that form. Your inbox, with all incoming emails, only exists in your actual email client (Gmail, Outlook etc).

 

You would have to either share your login details with co-workers (not recommended, for obvious reasons), or connect your email address as a shared conversations, as explained here: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/inbox/connect-channels-to-the-conversations-inbox#connect-a-team-email...

 

Only as a conversations inbox can other users see incoming emails in HubSpot.

 

Best regards!
