      Create Tasks

      Keep track of your to-do list in HubSpot by creating tasks.

      Task details

      Regardless of where you create a task in HubSpot, you can fill in the following information. Learn how to set a default due date, due time, and reminder date for all tasks you create.

      • Title: enter a task name in the Title field. Include the text call or email in the title of your task to automatically set the corresponding task type.
      • Type: select Call, Email, or To-do. If you're using HubSpot's integration with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, select Sales Navigator - Send InMail or Sales Navigator - Connection request. 
      • Priority: select if the task is low, medium, or high priority.
      • Associate with records or [x] associations: search and select records to associate with the task.
      • Assigned to: select the user who the task is assigned to.
      • Queue: add the task to an existing task queue or create a new task queue.
      • Due date: select the date and time the task is due.
      • Set to repeat (Sales Hub or Service Hub Starter, Professional, and Enterprise users only): select the checkbox, then enter a number and select an interval of time for your task to repeat. The Set to repeat option will appear when creating tasks from the tasks index page or within an individual record, but the option will not appear if you're creating tasks from an object index page.
