How to Use Hubspot AI Assistant in the Office 365 Add-in

The Hubspot AI assistant inside the Office 365 add-in helps you quickly generate, refine, and personalize sales emails without leaving your inbox. This guide walks you through enabling the add-in, opening the AI tools, and using each available option to create better outreach emails faster.

Prerequisites for Using Hubspot AI in Outlook

Before you start generating sales emails, make sure your setup supports the Hubspot AI assistant in the Office 365 add-in.

  • You must have a HubSpot account with the connected email inbox feature available.
  • The Office 365 add-in must be installed in your Outlook desktop or web environment.
  • You need the relevant user permissions to access sales tools and email content templates.
  • Your tenant and email environment must allow third-party add-ins and side panels.

If you have not yet installed the add-in, you can follow the general instructions for the HubSpot Sales Office 365 add-in from your Outlook store or admin center, then log in using your HubSpot credentials.

Opening the Hubspot Sales Office 365 Add-in

Once the add-in is installed and you are logged into your HubSpot account, you can open the side panel to work directly from any new email or reply.

Steps to open the add-in panel

  1. In Outlook, click New Email or open an existing email draft.
  2. Locate the HubSpot Sales icon in the Outlook ribbon or message toolbar.
  3. Click the icon to open the HubSpot sales panel on the right side of the screen.
  4. Sign in if prompted, using your HubSpot credentials associated with your sales tools.

After the panel loads, you will see options to log activities, insert content, and access the AI-powered assistance features.

Accessing the AI Assistant in Hubspot from Outlook

The AI assistant lives inside the HubSpot panel in Outlook. You can trigger it whenever you are writing or responding to a sales email.

Where to find the AI assistant

  1. With the HubSpot panel open, navigate to the email composition area in Outlook.
  2. Click inside the email body where you want content to be generated.
  3. Look for the AI or magic wand icon within the HubSpot add-in tools.
  4. Select the AI assistant option to open the generation menu.

The exact labels and icons may evolve, but the workflow remains designed to keep you inside your email while using HubSpot capabilities.

Generating New Sales Emails with Hubspot AI

The core feature of the AI assistant is generating new outreach emails based on short prompts, so you can move faster while staying on-brand and relevant.

How to generate a new email

  1. Open a new message or reply in Outlook.
  2. Open the HubSpot add-in panel if it is not already visible.
  3. Click the AI assistant icon or option from the panel.
  4. Select a generation mode, such as Write a new sales email.
  5. Enter your prompt, for example:
    • Goal of the email (book a demo, follow up on a quote).
    • Key product or service you are selling.
    • Audience, such as job role or industry.
    • Any important details like pricing, timelines, or specific offers.
  6. Click Generate or similar to produce the draft email.

The HubSpot assistant then inserts or displays the generated email text. You can further edit it directly in the Outlook editor or use additional AI refinement actions provided in the panel.

Using Hubspot AI to Rewrite and Improve Emails

If you already drafted an email, the HubSpot AI assistant can rewrite it for clarity, tone, or brevity, helping you polish your message quickly.

Steps to rewrite existing email content

  1. Compose your initial email in Outlook.
  2. Select the text you want the AI assistant to improve.
  3. Open the HubSpot panel and click the AI assistant icon.
  4. Choose a rewrite-type option, such as:
    • Make shorter
    • Make longer
    • Make more formal
    • Make more friendly
  5. Review the suggested rewrite in the preview area.
  6. Insert the new version into the message body if you are satisfied.

You can repeat this process on specific paragraphs, paragraphs with calls-to-action, or greeting lines until your email matches the desired tone and structure.

Personalizing Sales Outreach with Hubspot AI

The AI assistant also helps you personalize outreach at scale using information about your contacts and deals stored in HubSpot.

Ways to add personalization

  • Use HubSpot personalization tokens (such as name, company, or recent activity) within your AI prompts.
  • Ask the assistant to craft intros or subject lines tailored to specific industries or roles.
  • Generate variant messages for different lifecycle stages, such as leads vs. opportunities.

When available, the assistant can use data from the associated contact or company record opened in the HubSpot panel to align the language and context to your prospect.

Best Practices for Hubspot AI-Generated Sales Emails

To get the best results from the HubSpot AI assistant in the Office 365 add-in, combine automation with your own expertise and judgment.

Prompting tips

  • Be specific about the email goal and desired outcome.
  • Mention the type of prospect (for example, new inbound lead, renewal customer).
  • Provide any constraints, like maximum length or key phrases you must include.
  • Clarify tone preferences: professional, consultative, or casual.

Review and compliance

  • Always review AI-generated content before sending.
  • Ensure claims about your product or service are accurate.
  • Verify that you comply with your company’s brand guidelines and legal policies.
  • Double-check names, companies, and custom details for accuracy.

Even when HubSpot automates much of the drafting process, the human review step is essential for maintaining trust and quality.

Troubleshooting Hubspot AI in the Office 365 Add-in

If the AI assistant in HubSpot does not appear or fails to generate content, use the following checks.

Common troubleshooting steps

  1. Confirm that your Outlook is connected to the correct email account associated with your HubSpot user.
  2. Reload the Office 365 add-in by closing and reopening the HubSpot panel.
  3. Sign out and sign in again with your HubSpot credentials.
  4. Check whether your subscription or region has AI assistant access enabled.
  5. Make sure your organization and Outlook policies allow the use of AI features and remote services.
