Add "Time" field type for custom property

It would be great if we could have a custom field type that was for "time." 

 

This property would let me select the time for an appointment as well as the time zone.

 

It would help when trying to create workflows to trigger based off appointment times, not just the dates. 

 

For example, 2 hours after the scheduled appointment, tell sales to do ____, remind marketing to ____. 

 

Just having the day of the appointment is too broad.

@shajones 

Thanks in general for an update. But since this is over 1 year old could you say if things changed? 

 

Also in general @hubspot could you please provide us with an answer why this is not possible? Because via API a timestamp is saved to a date property. Also there is an Option to add delays in minutes / hours etc. after something happened. So all we ask for is to have a separate timefield which can then be used for these delays (for example 2 hours before | 2 hourse after a certain time). 

I can find at least 2 Threads here about this topic. Here is the second one: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Add-Timestamp-as-a-property/idi-p/214294/page/3#comme... 

Both combined have over 500 Upvotes. So you can defitnitely say this is one of the highly request features on here. You claim that you will aim to implement the ideas with the most upvotes first. But all we got is a info "not working on this but awesome idea, we consider it..." and this update is 1 1/2 years old in a Thread that exists for over 4 years.

So please at least tell us what is the big road blocker here and why the reason for not implementing this is big enough to disappoint a lot of paying customers with working on a basic feature which all of your competitors have since the beginning?

Openness and giving context can help to clear up a lot of the frustrations that we as your customers have.

Heyo we need meeting time reminders - both email and text. It's 2024 y'all, let's get with it.  

Specifically a "time" field property so when meeting times and dates come over from Salesforce, they can trigger a text or email reminder in Hubspot.

Need for this feature to track qualitative info regarding market. Use case: a field that track what time a client visited a physical store

Still need a time option for a property that doesn't rely on using API. Thanks!

It is shocking that you can't save times we just purchased hubspot and are going to cancel because of this.  Other CRMs do offer this

How come this is not available in 2024 ?

How has this not been added yet if this was discussed in 2019!

Very useful for many parts of the business.

It's 2024. Let's go Hubspot. Launch a time field.

@hubspot the datetime field is basic and should've been included years ago.  We shouldn't have to rely on API workarounds, hacks, etc.  It's 2024 - let's make this a reality.

I can't believe that we are even 4+ years into this request and it's not built....this is WILD. Can anyone in dev just use types and get a time field into here?! My GOODNESS!

I have watched for over four years as comments have rolled in, yet there
has been no effort or change on HubSpot's part. It is honestly mindboggling.

I absolutely need this feature. This property type is part of my business, and can't really do without.

It's been five years since someone asked and still nothing lol.

HubSpot, hear our prayers.

Please, help us stop resorting to janky 3rd part products that do not work. We need time of day as a property in releation to meetings and customer properties to be able to trigger workflows and list membership.

 

Thank you
