Improved Contact Sidebar in Gmail

What is it?

An updated contact sidebar for the HubSpot Gmail Chrome extension that now opens in the Chrome side panel instead of within the Gmail interface.

Why does it matter?

Sales teams need quick access to contact information while managing email workflows. Moving the sidebar to the Chrome side panel frees up valuable Gmail interface space while providing a more flexible, resizable view of contact details without disrupting your email workflow.

How does it work?

  • Email viewing triggers remain unchanged - access the contact sidebar the same way you currently do
  • The contact card now opens in the Chrome side panel instead of within the Gmail interface
  • View the same CRM insights, contact details, and triggers in a resizable panel outside Gmail
  • The panel provides improved readability and navigation compared to the previous in-Gmail sidebar
