Last updated: January 21, 2023

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

All products and plans

You can use the Google Calendar meeting assistant feature while on a call or video conference. Without leaving your Gmail inbox, you can take notes, look up a contact record, or start a meeting. Using the notes feature in the meeting assistant, you can make note of important moments during the call to follow-up on, and have your notes sync to the meeting activity on the record's timeline in your CRM.

Please note: to use the meeting assistant tool, you must have the Google Calendar integration connected in your HubSpot account. 

  • Log in to Gmail.
  • In the right side panel of your Gmail inbox, click the sprocket icon.
