How Do I Create and Assign HubSpot Tasks?

Keep track of your to-do list with the tasks tool in HubSpot. You can create tasks in the associated record or the task dashboard.

To complete tasks back-to-back in HubSpot, you can create and use a task queue. If you're using a mobile device, learn how to use tasks on the HubSpot mobile app. Instead of receiving notifications per task, you can also opt to receive a summary of due tasks every weekday via email.

You can create tasks from different tools within HubSpot. Users with a Sales Hub Seat can also automate tasks on deal stages. If you have access to sequences, you can also create tasks in a sequence.

In your HubSpot account, navigate to your contacts, companies, deals, or tickets.
Click the name of the contact, company, deal, or ticket.
In the left panel, click Task tasks.
In the window at the bottom, enter the details for your task:

Title: enter the task's name. Include the text call or email to automatically set the corresponding task type.
Due date: click the dropdown menus to select a due date and time for the task.
Notes: enter details on your task.
Associated with X record(s): click the dropdown menu to view, add and remove any other records to the task.
Task type: click the dropdown menu to select Call, Email, or To-do.
Assigned to: select a user responsible for the task in the Assigned to dropdown menu.
Email reminder: click the dropdown menus to select a date and time for an email reminder to be sent to the task owner.
Queue: click the dropdown menu to add the task to an existing task queue or to create a new task queue. Choose None if you don't wish to add this task to a task queue.

In your HubSpot account, navigate to your contacts, companies, deals, or tickets.
Click the name of the contact, company, deal, or ticket.
In the left panel, click Email email or Call calling and enter the email or call information.
Before sending the email or saving the call, select the Create a task to follow up checkbox and click the dropdown menu to set a due date for your task.

You can view, edit, complete, or delete your tasks from different places in your HubSpot account.

Table/Board: click to toggle between view types. The table view shows a list of your tasks, while the board view allows you to drag and drop tasks to different statuses.
Status: click to view tasks based on their statuses, due dates, or types.
Filter by: click the dropdown menus to filter your tasks by assignee, type, and due date.
Search: enter terms to search for a specific task.
Queues: click the name of a queue to view the tasks in the queue.

To edit a task, hover over the task and click Edit. In the right panel, update the relevant fields and click Save. You can also delete the task by clicking Delete in the right panel.
To work on a task, click its name to be brought to the relevant associated contact record, with the full task details on its timeline. This will trigger a task queue. If it is an email task created by a sequence, the email template selected will be automatically populated in the popup box in the contact record.
To use task statuses, click Board in the upper right. You can then drag tasks into different statuses: Not started, In progress, Waiting, Completed, and Deferred.
To mark a task as complete, click the checkmark icon to the right of the task.
To update tasks in bulk, select the checkboxes next to the tasks and at the top of the table, click the action you want to do. You can bulk delete tasks, add them to task queues, or mark them as completed.
To view your completed tasks, in the left sidebar menu, navigate to More > Completed. You can view when a task is completed in the Completed at column.

In your HubSpot account, navigate to your contacts, companies, deals, or tickets.
