I would like to follow up that I was contacted by a HubSpot represetative on the Tasks team about my issue. I’m please to report that they will be offering a hierarchy of priority in the near future for tasks so that they may be labeled Urgent, High, Medium, Low and None. This is a vast improvement over the current offering of either None or High.
The representative said he is unaware if it will be availalbe on automated tasks just yet when they release the features. I’m hoping they do because as we identify the deal stages and automated workflows that include generating tasks to help setup our workday, it’s paramount to not have to go back in to the list of tasks every night and find which ones need to be updated. There is no sense in using automated workflows for tasks if that heirarchy of priority isn’t also an option.
The goal is to elimnate having to look at my tasks every night and rescheduling them the next day from top down in an order of priority manually by date/time. It’s nice to be able to click the “Start Tasks” button and hit each one right after the other during our down time, but it’s not so nice unless it’s already in an order of priortity allowing us to stay closer to the deals with the best chance of a transaction.
If any hubspot representatives who see this can offer up any updates on this issue and when it possibly might be released, I think you’ll find a large swath of users breath a sigh of relief.
Thank you in advance!
