Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a sulution that allows me to copy/paste a title from a previous task into a new one via a workflow. I know I can use contact-properties as personalization tokens, but that doesn’t really help in that case.

Is there anything that can be done to use the information from a previous task and apply it in a workflow?  
Thank you!

Cheers,

Erol

Hi @ErolY,

I don’t think this is possible out of the box dynamically. HubSpot doesn’t have activity-based workflows, only contact-based, company-based etc.

A solution would require custom code or third-party tools like Zapier.

Best regards!

Hi @ErolY,

Good news, HubSpot has introduced task workflows!

_Workflows_  
_ **Task workflows** _  
_November 7, 2024_

_ **What is it?** _

_Users can now create task-centered workflows._

_ **Why does it matter?** _

_Enhance task automation with greater flexibility and efficiency. Trigger automation directly from changes in tasks, like creation, status updates, or overdue notifications. Establish standard, automated processes for task management. For example, alert a sales manager when specific tasks complete or become overdue, or automatically create tasks in other project management tools when you start tasks in HubSpot._

_ **How does it work?** _

_To create a task workflow:_

_From the workflows tool homepage, click “Create workflow” and select “From scratch”_  
_Choose the task object on the object select page_  
_Choose the trigger based on task events or properties_  
_Add actions as usual_

_ **Who gets it?** _

_Marketing Hub Pro, Marketing Hub Enterprise, Operations Hub Pro, Operations Hub Enterprise, Sales Hub Pro, Sales Hub Enterprise, Service Hub Pro, Service Hub Enterprise_

You can find this beta here:

You can now enroll tasks based on criteria of your liking and reference task properties in the creation of a new task.

If you want to make it easier for others to find this update, you can help them by accepting my reply as a solution. I’d appreciate it, too.

Have a great day!
