The problem it solves

Every day emails come in that should update your CRM, but nobody has time to copy details over by hand. Important customer conversations get lost between your inbox and your sales records, so your team works from an incomplete picture.

Who it fits

Sales or account teams managing a secondary email domain alongside HubSpot.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your Outlook inbox
  2. The message text is pulled out and matched to an existing contact
  3. Unread messages are filtered so nothing is processed twice
  4. The email is logged as an engagement in HubSpot
  5. A copy of the activity is saved in Airtable
What you get

Conversations captured in HubSpot without retyping

Every email you send or receive gets recorded in HubSpot and Airtable, so your team always has the full conversation history.

What you get

An up-to-date HubSpot contact timeline and an Airtable log of every email handled.

What you need

A Microsoft Outlook account, a HubSpot account, an Airtable account, and Google Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
