I’m trying to sync my Hubspot takss with Outlook. I have been able to sync my calender, however when syncing my tasks, I;m only able to sync those of my colleague, which is quite strange. Any idea what is happening here?

Hi @BLakerveld,

Thanks for reaching out!

Can you try the following, please?

1. Enable [HubSpot’s calendar sync with Outlook Calendar.](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/integrations/use-hubspots-integration-with-google-calendar-or-outlook-calendar)

2. Create and [connect a sub-calendar to HubSpot](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/meetings-tool/use-meetings#connect-additional-calendars). For example, you can create an additional calendar within your Outlook Calendar called _HubSpot Tasks_.

If not, here’s a [resource](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-additional-calendars-4b5570c4-e95d-4673-b38a-2b8ead5f00ee) on how to create a sub-calendar in Outlook.

After you have taken those steps, you can follow the steps in this [help article](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/tasks/sync-tasks-to-your-google-or-outlook-calendar) to set up the task calendar.

Let us know if taking these steps again works!

Best,

Kristen

Thanks Kristen for helping me out. It did indeed work by adding a secondary agenda.

However I was under the assumption that the Hubspot tasks would be shown as actual agenda tasks, but is it shown as an agenda item in Outlook. Is there anything I can do to show it as a task in Outlook? I tried already to make a specific Hubspot task list in outlook, however this cannot be selected to synchronize.

Hi @BLakerveld,

You’re very welcome! We’re glad to hear that worked out.

In regards to your question regarding Outlook Tasks, the tasks will display as **normal calendar events** on the calendar specified during the task sync configuration. I can see how having the tasks synced over to Outlook tasks would be helpful though! 🙂
