All products and plans

To prevent logging emails sent to specific recipients, Super Admins in your account can add their email addresses to the Never Log list. These recipients will be blocked for all users.

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

Understand the Never Log list

  • When an email is sent from a connected personal email, using the HubSpot Sales extension or add-in, or from a team email address to recipients on the Never Log list:
    • A new contact record will not be created.
    • Email tracking activity will not be recorded on the contact's timeline. However, email tracking activity for all recipients will still be logged in your activity feed.
    • The email will not be logged to any associated records.
  • If you send an email directly from the CRM to a contact on the Never Log list, it will still send but the email will not be logged to the record. 
  • If an email sent to an address or domain in the Never Log list, then logged to HubSpot using the BCC address or forwarding address, only the contact record will be excluded from logging.
  • If there are recipients on an email who are not on the Never log list, HubSpot will still log emails to those contact records.
     

Please note:

  • The Never Log list in HubSpot will only block logging of emails sent to listed recipients. It will not the block logging of emails sent from them. Emails sent from addresses or domains on the list will still be logged.
  • The Never Log list does not apply to email threads sent to or from any third-party integrations.
