Install and Connect the Hubspot Sales Chrome Extension

The first step is installing the Hubspot Sales Chrome extension and connecting your Google account so that your calendar and meetings appear in your CRM.

Step 1: Add Hubspot Sales to Chrome

1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for the Hubspot Sales Chrome extension.
3. Click Add to Chrome, then confirm the installation.

After installation, you should see the Hubspot icon in your Chrome toolbar.

Step 2: Sign In to Hubspot from the Extension

1. Click the Hubspot icon in the Chrome toolbar.
2. Select Sign in or Log in.
3. Enter your Hubspot account email and password.
4. Choose the correct Hubspot account if you have access to multiple portals.

Once signed in, the extension connects your browser session to your Hubspot CRM data.

Step 3: Connect Google Email and Calendar

1. In Gmail, click the Hubspot icon in the right-hand panel or in the top toolbar.
2. Follow the prompts to connect your Google account.
3. Grant requested permissions so Hubspot can read and manage your emails and calendar events.
4. Confirm that calendar access is enabled when prompted.

When the connection is successful, the Hubspot Sales Chrome extension can use your Google Calendar to create and track meetings.

Schedule Meetings in Google Calendar Using Hubspot

With the extension active, you can schedule meetings from Gmail and have them logged to Hubspot automatically. This keeps contact records updated without manual entry.

Use Hubspot Meeting Links in Gmail

1. Open Gmail and start a new email to a prospect or customer.
2. Click the Hubspot icon in the email compose window.
3. Select a meeting link or scheduling page created in your Hubspot Meetings tool.
4. Insert the link into your email body.
5. Send the email as usual.

When the recipient books a time, Google Calendar creates the event, and Hubspot logs the meeting on the contact timeline.

Create Calendar Events That Sync to Hubspot

If you create a meeting directly on Google Calendar, the Hubspot integration can log that activity to matching contacts.

1. Open Google Calendar in your browser.
2. Click on the date and time you want to book.
3. Add a clear event title, such as Discovery Call with [Name].
4. Invite the contact using the same email address stored in Hubspot.
5. Save the event.

When the invited email address matches a contact in your CRM, Hubspot can associate the calendar event with that contact, and in some cases, with the related company or deal.

Manage Existing Hubspot Meetings from Google Calendar

Once meetings are on your calendar, you can manage updates and cancellations and keep Hubspot aligned with any changes. This reduces manual work and keeps your sales or service teams informed.

Update Meeting Details

1. Open Google Calendar and click the relevant event.
2. Edit the date, time, description, or guests as needed.
3. Save your changes and send updates to guests when prompted.

These updates appear on the event and help ensure Hubspot keeps an accurate record of the interaction, depending on your integration settings.

Cancel or Reschedule Meetings

1. Open the meeting event in Google Calendar.
2. Click Delete to cancel, or adjust the date and time to reschedule.
3. Notify guests of the change so they receive a new invite or cancellation notice.

Cancelled or rescheduled meetings are reflected in the calendar and, based on your connected settings, Hubspot can show the final status on the contact’s activity timeline.

View Hubspot Contact Insights While Managing Meetings

One key advantage of the Hubspot Sales Chrome extension is the ability to see CRM data while working in Gmail and scheduling meetings.

Access Hubspot Contact Records from Gmail

1. Open an email thread with a contact.
2. Click the Hubspot panel on the right side of your Gmail interface.
3. Review details such as contact properties, recent activities, deals, and tickets.
4. Use these insights to schedule more relevant meetings in Google Calendar.

This context makes it easier to plan follow-ups, demos, or review sessions tied to existing Hubspot deals and pipelines.
