Custom engineered Calls & Messaging integration

Gmail & HubSpot integration

Custom engineered for your business by SpotDev's accredited developers

Connect Gmail and Google Workspace to HubSpot so email from shared and individual inboxes, Google Calendar events and follow-up tasks land on the right contact, company and deal without relying on each user's browser extension.

  • 2 to 4 weeks typical turnaround
  • £2.5k-£6k typical investment
  • OAuth 2.0

Why connect Gmail to HubSpot

HubSpot's own Gmail tools work per user: the Sales Chrome extension logs and tracks the email a sender chooses to log, and a connected inbox cannot double as a team address. A firm running sales@ or support@ in Google Workspace ends up with conversations that never reach the CRM.

  • Shared Google inboxes sit outside HubSpot's connected-inbox model, so team conversations are not logged unless someone forwards them
  • Logging depends on a user having the extension installed and the Log box ticked, so the timeline has gaps
  • Google Calendar events booked outside HubSpot do not update deal activity
  • The Gmail and Google Calendar APIs expose messages, threads, labels and events with push notifications, so a custom service can log by rule instead of by habit

What you can do with Gmail and HubSpot

The integration reads Gmail and Google Calendar through Google's APIs and writes activities to HubSpot under rules you define.

  • Log every message in a shared Google inbox (for example sales@ or accounts@) to the matching contact and open deal, with attachments and thread history
  • Match inbound email by sender domain to the right company when no contact exists yet, then create the contact
  • Sync Google Calendar events to HubSpot meetings and back, including reschedules and cancellations, for reps who book outside HubSpot
  • Create a HubSpot task when a Gmail label such as 'follow up' is applied, so the queue lives in the CRM

Gmail & HubSpot integration: FAQs

Does Gmail have an API that HubSpot can use?
Yes. The Gmail API is a RESTful API that gives access to messages, threads, labels and drafts, can send mail and can watch a mailbox for changes using push notifications. It authenticates with OAuth 2.0, so a user or a Google Workspace admin grants access rather than sharing a password.
Is the HubSpot Sales Chrome extension enough?
For an individual rep logging their own email it often is: it tracks opens, logs email to records and gives you templates, sequences and Google Calendar meetings inside Gmail. HubSpot's connected-inbox model does not let one account act as both a personal and a team email, so shared Google inboxes and rules-based logging are where a custom build earns its place.
How long does a Gmail HubSpot integration take?
Typically 2 to 4 weeks. Google Workspace domain-wide delegation, the logging rules and the matching logic for unknown senders are agreed during scoping.
How much does a Gmail HubSpot integration cost?
Most Gmail projects land in the £2.5k-£6k range. The number of inboxes, whether calendar sync is two-way and how much matching logic you need move the price within it.
