Connecting Your Email, Domains & Calendar
The connections that make HubSpot work.
A few connections early on make everything downstream work — tracked emails, meeting links, and deliverable marketing sends.
What to connect
- Personal email & calendar. Each team member connects their inbox and calendar so activity logs to the CRM and meeting links work. This is per-user and takes a minute.
- Email sending domain. If we'll send marketing or automated email, your domain needs authenticating (SPF/DKIM). This is a DNS change we'll guide, but it usually needs whoever manages your domain.
- Connected apps. Any tools that should talk to HubSpot — calendaring, calling, e-sign — get connected as we reach them in the build.
We'll tell you which of these you need and when. Nothing here has to happen all at once.
