Create Tasks in HubSpot

Learn how to create and track tasks in HubSpot.

Track your to-do list by creating tasks in HubSpot. Tasks can be associated with specific records and, if you have Sales Hub or Service Hub Starter, Professional, or Enterprise, you can create recurring tasks.
 
Quick Actions:
  • Automate tasks based on deal stages.
  • Edit, complete, or delete tasks easily.
  • Create tasks from Gmail, the HubSpot mobile app, or using workflows.

Task Details

When creating a task, you can include:
  • Title – Enter a name. If you include "call" or "email", it automatically sets the task type.
  • Type – Choose Call, Email, or To-do. If using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, select Sales Navigator - Send InMail or Connection request.
  • Priority – Set as Low, Medium, or High.
  • Associations – Link the task to relevant contacts, companies, deals, tickets, or custom objects.
  • Assigned to – Select a team member.
  • Queue – Add the task to an existing queue or create a new one.
  • Due date & time – Select when the task is due.
  • Repeating task (Sales & Service Hub Starter, Professional, Enterprise) – Set tasks to repeat at intervals.
  • Reminder – Choose when to receive an email notification before the task is due.
  • Notes – Add details about the task.
