**Posting idea request on behalf of customer** Users currently are able to choose from three options when creating a follow-up task via Gmail: Follow-up in 1 day, Follow-up in 3 days, and Custom. However, it would save users time if instead of always having to select custom, they could create custom default follow-up times which they use frequently, such as “Follow-up in 1 month”. The customer and his team frequently create 1 week follow-up tasks to contact leads. But the customer has to constantly go to the custom setting to create such tasks. ![36785i7E008B5AC964D777.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/2/7/27b561cd34530b0ccd3fe7b5ea79967c0390a476.png) ---
