Exclude recipients from CRM email logging

Last updated: January 29, 2024

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

All products and plans

To prevent logging emails sent to specific recipients, super admins in your account can add them to the Never Log list so that the recipients are blocked for all users. Emails sent from a connected personal email with the HubSpot Sales extension or add-in to addresses or domains on this list will not create a new contact record, record email tracking activity on the contact's timeline, or be logged to the record. If you send an email directly from the CRM, it will still send but the email will not be logged in the record. HubSpot will still record email tracking activity for all recipients in your activity feed

You can also exclude recipients from CRM logging when sending emails from Gmail or Outlook.

Please note: if there are recipients on an email who are not on the Never log list, HubSpot will log emails to those contact records. 

The Never Log list does not apply to email threads sent to or from a team email address, as well as any third-party integrations. To prevent emails from specific addresses from appearing in your conversations inbox, learn how to manage your allow and deny list

Manage your personal Never Log list

You can add email addresses and domains to your own personal never log list in your email preferences:

  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to General
  • Click the Email tab.
  • In the Never Log section, click Add emails or domains.
  • In the dialog box, enter one or more email addresses or domains:
    • To never log emails sent to a specific recipient, enter the email address as emailaddress@domain.com (e.g., name@hubspot.com).
    • To never log emails sent to any recipients with a specific domain, enter the domain as *@domain.com (e.g., *@hubspot.com).
