Deleting a Contact with a Meeting

WHO = any user

GOAL = leveraging dashboard for daily workflow

VALUE = not have irrelevant data appear and take up space

I added a meeting with my personal email address by accident. I deleted the contact, but the meeting is still floating out there, and I can’t get rid of it on my dashboard widget. Now I have it there forever. THIS **bleep**. I had no idea that would stay there. I could have easily marked the meeting complete before deleting the contact, if I had known.

You should prompt a user that there are scheduled meetings with a contact and encourage them to mark the meeting as complete before you can delete the contact. Or, even better, auto complete them with a status or completion type that makes sense for this scenario.

PLEASE FIX THIS. IT’S RIDICULOUS. I am in software too, and understand how these things get promoted internally. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A BUG, even if it’s “as designed” in theory. I understand keeping the meeting for analytics, but I literally can’t make this meeting go away now.

Yeah… in the same boat. This blows.

My internal owner for HubSpot was able to recall the contact I had deleted, which allowed me to then delete the meeting associated. #winning
