Yep. For me it’s 8 am and i come into work at 8:30 so as soon as i come in all my tasks for the day show as “overdue”
Dear HS Developers,
Also allow users to define how many business days to followup when creating a task from an email.
I think you should be able to remove the time all together. I am not refering to the reminder, but the task itself. I dont use task as exact times so my default is 8 AM and when i come in every morning, all my task for that day are red and show as over due.
I agree with dguido, I rarely have a task that I need to do at an exact time. I have tasks that I need to do a certain day. A default of 8am not only means that everything is overdue immediately and shows as red (which is annoying), but because it’s overdue, it also means that the “Next Activity Date” for that company disappears.
This affects any filters where you are trying to filter out companies with a Next Activity Date as companies now with overdue tasks show up in this filter.
I would much rather default having no time associated with a task, and allowing a rep to specify a time when it truly needs to be done at a certain time. If it’s really really time sensitive, you should probably just put it in your calendar or set a reminder.
Get used to disappointment. HubSpot doesn’t seem to want to implement any of the minor chnages that would make this platform more productive than a duck with Excel.
Setting sane defaults would be something we could use as well
Agreed! Mine’s 8am and as much as I’m in favour of getting things done early, I have to change the time EVERY TIME I create a new task. A new default would be great!
Yep.. would love to be improved. It’s a pain to change EVERY task to a different time.

Having the ability to change the default due date time would be ideal. I don’t usually start working until 9am and would prefer that as the default time, so having 8am as the default time is annoying. I’m sure everyone has their own preferences for the ideal default time, so having the ability to change it would be an ideal — and much used — feature to add.
This was originally requested on 01-02-2019 03:15. That’s more than 9 months ago. Not a single response from HubSpot folks on this thread.
Get used to disappointment. They’ll never update it. They’ll never make this simple, essential change. They are too busy trying to get your CRM data in their marketing platform so they can charge you insane fees for sending emails to customers that you can’t even integrate back into your CRM. Hubspot has no incentive to apply even a single line of code updates to their CRM software at this point.
Switch to Excel and save yourself the headaches.
Would love to have a simple way to change the default from “tomorrw” to how our company decides best… Should be an easy change in the settings…please kee me updated
Example: Change Defautl from “tomrrow” to “your system so you choose the date” kind of situation.
Seems simple from my end but…
It is simple. But HubSpot gets no money by doing it, so they won’t.
So long, HubSpot. We’re going back to paper and whiteboards because they’re more responsive and provide more features!
@blodge @roisinkirby It would be helpful for those time zones that are known for the default task to set to what their time zones 8 am would be in your timezone. For example. If the contact is in Hawaii and I am in Eastern time, add 6 hours to the default so it is 2 pm not 8 am. This way we are not wasting time calling before someone is open. I would skip that task till later.
I am another one who would really benefit from at least a company-wide default task due date and default ticket due date.
It appears that since this thread was created, HubSpot’s first take on it was that 5pm made more sense because it’s the end of the day, and if it were 8:00 am, then these would always be red, or overdue.
It seems that it now defaults to 8:00 am always, which is the exact opposite what they said.
PLEASE can we set a default time. Or can we tell you what our default time is and HubSpot can hard-code this for our company??
Currently, tasks default to 3 days from now and I would like to be able to configure my default setting for the task due date. I personally prefer tomorrow as a default -which was the recent setting until it changed to 3 days from now.
Get used to disappointment.

HubSpot recently made an update to change the default task due date to 3 business days. I’ve had a number of customers call in wondering if there is a way to change this in HubSpot, which there isn’t.
A great tool for our customers would be to set default values for the due date when create tasks, as well as the default time.
This would also be helpful for my team to be able to change the default date. Tomorrow worked well for us in our industry, and it’s a bit fiddly to always change them from 3 days to tomorrow. Thanks!
Upvoting this on behalf of a customer! It would be great if the task “due date” default (now set to 3 business days) can be customised in settings by each user, since each user is working with different timelines
