Currently, a due date for a task can be set to a specific date or a set number of days from task creation.
Suggestion: allow task due date to be set in relation to a date property on an associated record
Example use case: use a deal-based workflow to create tasks for deals that needs to be set in relation to the deal close date (e.g. a certain number of days beforehand)
One of out pipelines has a "status" called "meeting arranged". It would be great that when a ticket falls into this status, it creates a task with the due date pulled from a property called "meeting date".
I also am having difficulty setting appropriate due dates for tasks. Specifically, I would like to create a task to prep presentation materials (we personalize our demos) for a meeting schedule through HubSpot. It would be helpful to be able to chose the "date of last meeting booked in meetings tool" as the due date - or otherwise "link" it to the scheduled meeting. Thanks!
YEs I would love to create a task a specific number of days prior to meeting start (To confirm the meeting for example) or specific number of days after meeting start
This is so necessary and another reason hubspot falls short compared to competitors. I am finding horrific small details the more I use this system. What do we need to do to get more attention on this?
My example of how this would be useful: Our sales process includes a consultation. There are tasks related to the consultation that need to be created and assigned once a consultation date is known. Basing tasks around the consultation date would be incredibly useful. Currently, this is a manual process.
Surprised this is still not added.. We have a "contact later" stage with a custom "contact later date" property. Impossible to create a workflow to send a task to the deal owner when the "contact later date" is due..
As many others here I was surprised to find this is not supported. This is absolutely needed for workflow creation to be as useful as it could/should be.
This is for sure critical functionality. Not having this causes all kinds of messy workarounds, including creating tasks to update the date on another task.
I'd also be very grateful to have this added. We would use this for creating tasks that must be done before known date properties on a deal, for instance.
Instead of trying to set the due date of the task to a certain field, you can use Delay until a datein your workflow and set that delay to the Deal date property that you want. Put that delay between the previous step in the workflow and a new task with a due date of immediately.
This would be extremely helpful. We have properties to track when various activities happen. For example, when a client is panning to complete a project. The ability to automate a follow up based on when the project happens creates would be extremely helpful! I'm honestly surprised this idea has been here over a year and it hasn't gotten more attention. I don't write code, but I feel like this would be a fairly simple option to add.
