Outlook Integration Setup
Desktop Add-In
Install HubSpot Sales Outlook add-in from Microsoft AppSource. Works in Outlook desktop and web. Provides sidebar with CRM data and logging controls.

Configuration Options
Automatic vs Manual Logging
Choose to log all emails automatically or select per email. Automatic is convenient; manual gives more control over what enters CRM.
Exclude Addresses
Create exclusion lists for addresses that shouldn't log: personal contacts, internal domains, etc.
Association Rules
Configure how emails associate to deals and companies, not just contacts. Helps maintain complete deal timeline.

Troubleshooting
Extension Not Working
Check: extension enabled, HubSpot signed in, Gmail/Outlook access authorized, no conflicting extensions.
Emails Not Logging
Verify: contact exists in HubSpot, email matches contact record, logging enabled for that email, not on exclusion list.
Tracking Not Working
Check: tracking enabled when composing, recipient email client allows tracking pixels, not blocked by corporate email filters.
