Hi all, we too have hit a wall with this, Gráinne in support was very helpful, but stated;
I’m afraid we cannot stop the automatic association from happening, though we can remove the association post-task-creation from the records, by hovering over the task on any record, and unchecking the boxes for the records to disassociate - as outlined here.
I appreciate this may not be the ideal outcome here. Many users have been talking about this feature and in this HubSpot Community Post, you can see that the idea to remove the automation for outlook is in process. I would recommend for you to upvote or comment on the idea as the feedback reaches our product team directly! The more traction this receives with specific use cases the more likely the team will put them in place for future updates. You can also “follow” the thread to be alerted of any updates directly from the Product team. I’ll send it along internally as well to give it some added traction on our internal end.
I am thinking about disabling the calander sync until this is sorted, it make for impossible deal management as any meeting request is logged to every deal that every connect is connected to. Hopefully Hubspot will implement a similar concept to the way email logging works or at least turn off the option for auto association to the deal.
