How to view your sales notifications in the activity feed

Viewing HubSpot sales notifications in your activity feed provides valuable insights about your lead’s buyer’s journey. Your feed provides real-time alerts when a lead revisits your site, opens or clicks within a tracked email, views a shared document, or books a meeting. These notifications in your HubSpot activity feed help you determine the best steps toward converting leads into prospects, and prospects into sales!  


ACCESSING REAL-TIME SALES NOTIFICATIONS IN HUBSPOT ACTIVITY FEED

Real-time notifications require Google Chrome and either the HubSpot Sales Extension or the HubSpot Sales for Windows Tray App.  

  • HubSpot Sales Extension for Chrome: Chrome browser users will receive notifications in the upper-right corner of the browser screen. Users can silence notifications by clicking the HubSpot sprocket icon [INSERT IMAGE OF HUBSPOT ICON?], the gear icon, and then the toggle switch (no checkmark indicates notifications are “off”). 
  • HubSpot Sales for Windows Tray App: Users will see real-time notifications in the lower right corner of their PC. If you wish to disable/discontinue real-time notifications, click the “HubSpot sprocket icon” and then click “Pause notifications.”

The activity feed in desktop and mobile HubSpot applications provides a view of recent activities grouped by account. Note: the activities view will correspond to the account being used. Activity types you can view include the following.

  • All Activity
  • Email Opens *
  • Email clicks *
  • Emails sent *
  • Lead visits
  • Prospect visits
  • Document views
  • Meetings booked using HubSpot
  • Forms submitted from owned contacts

* Activity feed tracking for emails will be related only to emails you’ve sent. Only you will be able to view this information. Deleting an email will result in the deletion of its tracking information in the activity feed.
