In the hubspot crm is it possible to create more Task Types?

Currently there are only three choices for Call - Email - To Do.

Thanks

Hi @Andye

 

Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to create custom task types in the CRM. 

 

Good luck.

Has there been an update yet?

All of the queries for customizing task types are old. 
We would like to add more task types outside of "Call" "Email" and "To-do"

Somehow we have additional ones from a LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration, "Sales Navigator - Connection Request" and "Sales Navigator - Inmail"
Are there other integrations that create task types?

Hubspot team, can you at least acknowledge this request. It is one of the most basic (yet critical) for easy entry of common task types and makes it easier for KPI/Progress tracking/ Activity Review with Sales team.
Pipedrive listens and acts on information, they have responded to several of my requests within 180 days (longest time frame). I feel like I am part of the developer team and that is awesome to affect positive change. Hope you folks can at least act on this one.

@Andye why limit yourself to task type? Use queues to create lists of items you want to accomplish.

 

@Phil_Vallender do you have recommendations for task queque?

We would also like customisable task types. It's one of the only ways to filter tasks so having more options would be great.

There's a suggestion thread under HubSpot Ideas to implement custom Task and Log Activity types. Please go there and upvote the original post. Maybe enough responses will get HubSpot's product team to put this change into their task queue.

I agree, for instance if you have multiple locations or projects to sort tasks for each would be more helpful.
