Install the HubSpot Sales Chrome extension
Please note: Google's Rapid Release track is not compatible with the extension. If you're using this version, talk to your IT team about switching to the default release track.
- Click here to navigate to the HubSpot Sales extension in the Google Chrome store.
- Check to make sure that you're signed into the correct Gmail account. You can see which account you're logged in to in the top right.
- In the dialog box, click Add to Chrome. If this is the first time you've added the extension, you'll be prompted to log in.
- Log into your HubSpot Sales account when prompted.
With the HubSpot Sales Chrome extension, you'll have access to your templates, documents, and sequences from your Gmail inbox. You'll also receive instant Chrome notifications for tracked emails and can quickly see your activity feed by clicking the extension icon in your browser toolbar.
If you are a Google admin for your organization, you can automatically install the extension for multiple users.
Install the HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in
- Outlook installed from the Microsoft Store is not compatible with the HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in. Check your Outlook version to ensure it is Click-to-run.
- Office 365 from GoDaddy is not compatible with the HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in, because GoDaddy currently does not support third party apps.
- The HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in can only be installed on an Office 365 hosted email account (Office 365 Business Premium, Office 365 Business Essentials, or Office 365 Personal). If your inbox is hosted with a different email provider, you cannot install the Office 365 add-in, even if you are using Outlook to access that email provider. If you don't have an Office 365 account but use Outlook for Desktop on Windows, install the HubSpot Sales Outlook desktop add-in instead.
- Do not install both the HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in and the HubSpot Sales Outlook desktop add-in on the same device. These add-ins will conflict.
There are two ways to install the HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in:
Install the add-in individually
You can install the Office 365 add-in individually in your account. Keep in mind that if you have multiple email accounts in Outlook, you have to install the add-in in each email account where you want to access the sales tools.

Click here to navigate to the add-in in Microsoft AppSource.
- In the left sidebar, click Get It Now.
- In the dialog box, click Continue.
- You'll be taken to your Office 365 account. Click Add.
Once installation is complete, you'll be redirected to a page indicating the add-in has been successfully installed. You can now access your templates, documents, and sequences from your Outlook inbox.
To receive instant notifications for tracked emails, run Chrome with the HubSpot Sales Chrome extension installed.
Centrally deploy the add-in
Office 365 admins can centrally deploy the add-in to all Office 365 users in your organization. When the add-in is centrally deployed, all Office 365 users on the domain will automatically get the add-in, with no additional steps required.
Follow Microsoft's instructions to publish Office add-ins using centralized deployment via the Office 365 admin center. On the Centralized deployment step, select I want to add an Add-In from the Office Store, and search for HubSpot Sales.
