Please note: the maximum file size for logging attachments for outgoing and incoming emails is 50MB. This applies to replies sent to one-to-one emails and incoming emails sent to a team email in the conversations inbox.
If your email server is running security software that scans attachments when receiving emails, HubSpot might not be able to log attachments that are included in email replies or incoming emails sent to your team email address. For example, if your Office 365 servers are running Advanced Threat Protection with Dynamic Delivery enabled, the attachments might not log.
Replies to emails will be logged automatically on the contact's timeline if you have connected your personal email and the following is true:
Email replies will log to the contact's record timeline in your CRM. There is no central location in HubSpot where you can view these emails; you must navigate to the recipient's contact record or one of the associated records to view the logged email.
If you want to view, manage, and reply to incoming emails in a centralized location, learn more about connecting a team email address to the conversations inbox.
If your reply doesn't log as expected, learn more about some of the common reasons why this occurs. In some cases, if the reply didn't log, you can forward it to the record timeline in the CRM.
Incoming emails sent to your connected personal email will not log to HubSpot if they do not meet the requirements for logging.
If a non-contact sends you a new email that is not part of an existing thread, this email will not log to HubSpot and a new contact record will not be created. When you reply to this email and select the Log checkbox or include the BCC address, your outgoing reply will log but the non-contact's original email will still not appear in HubSpot. Subsequent replies to this thread will log as long as your personal email is connected.
If a reply comes from an email address that is not associated with an existing contact, the reply will not log. For example, if you send an email to contacts@domain.com, but the contact replies using contacts-alias@domain.com, the reply will not log. You can forward the reply to the CRM using your forwarding address and then merge the two contact records.
If an email thread starts with your team email in the conversations inbox, you cannot switch to using your personal connected email address mid-thread. The replies will not continue to log to HubSpot because this will create a new thread that HubSpot cannot detect.
If you change inbox providers while you still have active threads using your previous email address, email replies will stop logging to HubSpot. In addition, if you're using sequences, contacts who are currently enrolled in a sequence will not be automatically unenrolled because HubSpot can no longer detect the replies. Reconnect your inbox using the correct provider to successfully log replies.
Make sure to connect your personal email using the correct email provider type. Your email provider is the service that enables you to send and receive emails. Common email providers include Gmail and Office 365.
Confirm which email provider your email address is hosted with, then follow the instructions to connect to HubSpot with that provider. You can ask your IT resource, or you can use MxToolbox to look up your email domain's email service provider. If you do not connect using the correct provider, emails won't log.
If you meet the requirements for reply logging, and your reply does not fit into one of the situations listed above, learn how to get help from HubSpot. Before reaching out, it is recommended to have an example of a contact record where the reply did not log as expected and the email headers from the reply received in your email account. Learn how to collect the email headers from some common email providers, or work with your IT resource to retrieve the headers.
