A prospect replies, a colleague mentions a company, a report lists a deal. Each time, finding it in HubSpot means opening HubSpot, choosing Contacts or Companies, clicking into the search and typing the name again. A Wyrd keyword does all of that from the address bar, or from a right-click on the email address you are already looking at.
Short answer. Save your HubSpot contact search (step 2 below makes the address for you) under the keyword hs. Then type > hs maya@northwind.example in the address bar and press Enter. Or select an email address on any page, right-click it and choose Wyrd search.
See it work
Two ways in: type the email address, or right-click it where you found it. Try both.
Typed in Chrome's address bar: >, a space, the keyword hs and the email address. Press Enter.
The email address is selected in your inbox, open in Chrome. Right-click, then pick the search.

Set it up
Two minutes, once. Nothing technical: you copy one address and give it a short name. Keywords and right-click search work from the moment Wyrd is installed, with no account.
- Add Wyrd from the Chrome Web Store.
- Open HubSpot, copy the address of any page from the top of the window and paste it below. It carries your account's number (the Hub ID), which goes into every address on this page.
That does not look like a HubSpot address yet. It should start with app.hubspot.com and contain your account's number.
Your keyword's address:
https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/1234567/objects/0-1/views/all/list?query=%sAdd to WyrdNew in 1.2Add to Wyrd does steps 2 and 3 for you: Wyrd's Add box opens with the keyword and your address filled in. Check them and press Add; nothing is saved until you do.
- Click Wyrd's icon in Chrome's toolbar. Paste the address into Address, type
hsin Keyword and click Save. - In the address bar, type
>, press Space, thenhsand an email address or name of one of your contacts, and press Enter.
Whatever you type after hs goes where the address says %s. HubSpot opens your contacts list searched for it, one click from the contact. HubSpot documents its record addresses but not this search, so try it once with a contact of yours; if your words are ignored, see below. Typed on its own, > hs opens your contacts.
Right-click an email address where you read it
In your inbox, a calendar invite, a spreadsheet or a chat open in Chrome, select the email address or the company name, right-click, choose Wyrd search: "…" and then hs. HubSpot opens in a new tab next to the one you are reading.
- The menu lists your three most-used search keywords, so
hsjoins it once you use it more than the others. - To keep your HubSpot searches there from day one, under names like HubSpot contact and HubSpot company: open Wyrd's Features page (Settings → Features), switch on Your right-click searches and pick them, up to 12. It needs no permission.
- It works on web pages in Chrome, such as Gmail or Outlook in a tab. Desktop apps outside Chrome have their own menus.
More HubSpot keywords
| Keyword | Address | You type | Opens |
|---|---|---|---|
hs | https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/1234567/objects/0-1/views/all/list?query=%s Add | > hs maya chen | Contacts, searched by name, email or phone |
company | https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/1234567/objects/0-2/views/all/list?query=%s Add | > company northwind | Companies, searched by name or domain |
deal | https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/1234567/record/0-3/%s Add | > deal 15865742643 | A deal by its ID |
hsc | https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/1234567/record/0-1/%s Add | > hsc 501 | A contact by its ID |
pipeline | Your board's address | > pipeline | Your deals board, a saved view or a dashboard: open it, click Wyrd's icon and save it as it is |
A record's ID is the last number in its address. A keyword is yours to name: if your team says "the deal", call it deal.
Give the whole sales team the same keywords
Rather than every rep setting it up, one person keeps the team's keywords in a Google Sheet and everyone subscribes once in Wyrd. Add the links reps ask for all the time: the pricing page, the case studies, the meeting booking link, the proposal template. A new rep has them all on their first day, and when a link changes, it changes once. Each person's own keywords always win over the list's. Free for teams of up to 30 people; larger teams, see pricing.
How: share links with your team, or start from the small team template.
If it does not work
- HubSpot opens your contacts but not your search. HubSpot changes its addresses now and then. Search for a word in HubSpot's contacts yourself, copy the address of the results, and put
%swhere your word is, as in search any website. - HubSpot opens a different account, or says you have no access. The number in the address is not your account's. Copy it again from a HubSpot page in step 2.
- HubSpot asks you to log in. Log in once in Chrome, then try again.
- Google searches for "hs maya…". The
>and the space were missing, or Wyrd is switched off inchrome://extensions. - The right-click menu has no
hs. It is not among your three most-used searches yet: switch on Your right-click searches (above). - "This site can't be reached" or "Server Not Found" at wyrd.internal. That address only works inside Wyrd: Wyrd is not installed in this browser, or needs an update. Add it from the Chrome Web Store, then try again.
