Since Salesforce Task(activities) object seems to only sync 4 standard fields to Hubspot (which isn’t enough for us, because we need to have custom field data as well) we were thinking about using the API to insert records to a custom Hubspot object for initiating email sending based on the inserted data.

We would then like to retrieve the status of the sent email (was is sent, did it bounce back etc.) from the inserted data.

Is this something we can achieve using Salesforce Task object + API?

I’m also keen to know is there some other better practice we could use instead of this solution?

Hey @MrsTalvio @HFisher7 actually did a great writeup covering all the fields that sync and some options for more customisation on [another post here](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CRM/Hubspot-Activities-amp-Salesforce-Tasks-properties-mapping/m-p/820655/highlight/true#M141674) which could be helpful!
