Real adoption
Traceability breaks when it depends on a step sellers forget
An installed add-in does not mean the team opens it for every email. That small friction fragments customer history.
02
Follow-up context is incomplete
Other team members cannot see the full history before contacting a customer.
03
Adoption is hard to sustain
Training does not fix a workflow that relies on repeated memory.

FAQ
HubSpot Auto-Tracker frequently asked questions
Why doesn’t the HubSpot add-in open automatically in Outlook Web?
The HubSpot add-in for Outlook Web has no native auto-activation. Microsoft requires the user to open the panel manually before sending each email. This is a platform design behavior, not a bug. HubSpot Auto-Tracker for Outlook solves this by automatically activating the panel every time it detects a compose window.
Why aren’t my Outlook emails showing up as tracked in HubSpot?
If the HubSpot panel is not open when you send an email from Outlook Web, tracking does not activate and the email is not recorded in the CRM. This means opens and clicks are not tracked and no activity is created on the contact timeline. The extension solves this by making sure the panel is active before each send.
Is this a HubSpot problem or a Microsoft 365 problem?
It is a limitation of how Microsoft 365 allows third-party add-ins to work in Outlook Web. Unlike Gmail, where the HubSpot extension integrates more deeply, in Outlook Web the add-in works as a side panel that must be invoked explicitly. It is not a HubSpot or Microsoft failure, but an architectural restriction.
How does automatic tracking activation work in Outlook?
The extension detects when you open a compose window in Outlook Web (new email, reply, or forward). It then locates the HubSpot add-in button and activates it automatically. If the add-in is slow to load, it retries up to 10 times. Once activated, the tracking panel stays enabled and can auto-collapse so it does not interrupt your workflow.
Does the extension work with desktop Outlook or only with Outlook Web?
This extension works exclusively with Outlook Web (outlook.office.com, outlook.live.com, outlook.office365.com, and outlook.cloud.microsoft) through Chrome or Edge. It does not work with the Outlook desktop app for Windows or Mac, since those use a different rendering engine than the browser.
Do I also need the HubSpot Sales add-in for Outlook installed?
Yes. This extension complements the official HubSpot Sales add-in for Outlook, it does not replace it. HubSpot Auto-Tracker takes care of automatically activating the HubSpot add-in you already have installed. You need HubSpot Sales configured in your Outlook account for the extension to activate it.
Does the extension read the content of my emails?
No. The extension only interacts with the DOM of the Outlook Web interface to detect compose windows and activate the HubSpot add-in button. It does not access, read, store, or transmit the content of your emails. All processing happens locally in your browser.
What permissions does the extension need in Chrome?
The extension needs permission to access Outlook Web pages (specific Microsoft domains) so it can detect compose windows and activate the add-in. It does not request access to all your tabs or your browsing history. Permissions are limited exclusively to Outlook Web domains.
Is it compatible with corporate Microsoft 365 security policies?
The extension works at the browser level (Chrome/Edge) and does not modify your Microsoft 365 or corporate account settings. It does not require Microsoft 365 administrator permissions. However, if your organization restricts Chrome extension installation through group policies, your IT administrator will need to approve the extension.
Can I install this extension for my entire sales team?
Yes. Each team member can install the extension individually from the Chrome Web Store. If your organization uses Chrome Enterprise, your IT administrator can force-install the extension for all users in the domain. There is no license limit or additional cost per number of users.
Make traceability happen inside the workflow
Install the extension and stop relying on a forgotten click.
