Custom properties for Activities (Tasks, Meetings, etc.)

We currently have custom properties for contacts, deals, companies and tickets. We need custom properties for activities too, which means custom properties for task, meetings, calls, etc.

 

Examples: 

- Calls: Aircall has to "print" text into the description for the call output

- Meetings: we want to confirm them 2 times. We can record in a structured way whether the meeting has been confirmed.

- Tasks: we'd like to have importance and urgency as inputs to define priority. We currently can't.

 

It's going to all allow finer management of tasks, calls, meetings, basically all activity types which a pre-requisite for activity-based workflows: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Activity-based-Workflows/idi-p/204852

 

As different activity types (calls vs meetings vs tasks) require different information, Hubspot should allow Admins to select which customer property applies to which activity type.

Absolutely essential to be able to differentiate different task (activity) types ....   can't understand why HubSpot doesn't have this as native configurability .. even our 1998 Goldmine CRM had this capability !!

This would be so helpful. Actually, any further ways to sort tasks and activities would be handy.

Does anyone else need this because it's not possible to put a person in 2 primary teams? Reporting on activities makes it a lot harder and without custom properties on actitivities not possible in certain situations.

When will this be available? It seems like a no-brainer to me for sure.

We really need custom task properties.

AGREED. Just this past week I spent HOURS reassigning tasks. If we could just sort them by the STATE the ASSOCIATED COMPANY was in, it would have saved me so much time.

Should definitely be implemented. Part of our sales process is to to get a credit application which is a key activity we would like to track.

Why isn't this a thing yet? We are living the future!

Absurd that HubSpot doesn't have this. Literally every Object in HubSpot should allow for custom properties.

Is there any update on this moving forward?

Custom properties on Activities would be super valuable.

--> AS WOULD the ability to trigger automation based on activity (e.g., "Note logged with XYZ text" --> then update something or notify someone)

Any news on this? Seems fairly straightforward and "easy" to implement.
