Schedule Meeting Using Mobile App

It would be great to schedule a meeting on the mobile app.  Right now when I meet someone in person and want to schedule a meeting, I have to do it on Google Calendar.  Instead, would be great to add them to HubSpot using card scanner and set up meeting from there.

We've just launched a way to visualise your availability when creating new meetings on iOS. If you search the Product Updates section in your account you'll find this one:

Hi Communnity,

 

Thank you all for sharing your feedback!

 

For transparency I am updating this issue to "Not Currently Planned" because we wont be able to get to this in the next quarter. 

 

Best,

Glen

Scheduling a meeting at the company and contact level via the app should have been added back in 2018 when it was requested!  
with a mobile sales & marketing staff this is critical.

Have 28x retail sales staff on iPads and need to be able to book a meeting after a call with client.  While there are several differences in functionality between mobile and browser, this one will pretty much force us to abandon the mobile app until it is closer in feature parity with browser as it doesn't make sense to have users working from both browser and mobile app on the same iPad device.  Will keep an eye on any new feature development provided in mobile app, but in the meantime, does anyone know how to have the ios device default to browswer as opposed to hubspot app when clicking on hubspot notifications?  (continues to ask users to open in HubSpot mobile app). 

 

Any insight, greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

The meeting tool is there it is just difficult to get to. If I am in the contact screen because I just called someone and want to set a meeting with them I have to back out of the contact screen, go to activities and scroll all the way to the right to schedule the meeting. Very clunky, you should be able to access meetings from the contact screen or from the task dropdown so it is just two button pushes away instead of like 6

This is a great idea!  I hope Hubspot can do this.  Almost everyone is on mobile these days.

Adding my voice.. if you guys want to become the best CRM ever, you should have simple functions like being able to schedule a meeting on the mobile app.

Is this still really not a thing? Seems like basic necessary functionality 🤔

This is silly that dev is not making this more of a priority. This is a major need!

Ridiculous, and they won't even discuss it. The feature has been requested repeatedly and disregarded, so good luck having it prioritised. One of the major reasons our organisation discontinued using HubSpot.

This is something that our outside sales team needs. Currently they have to write a note to schedule a meeting when they get back to their desk, and for reps who spend the majority of their week on the road, that's a challenge. It also creates a poor experience for the customer if they want to schedule a follow up meeting and the sales rep says they'll send an invite when they're back to their desk instead of handling it on the spot. 

Hopefully this adds some context and use cases and helps prioritize!

If you want this functionality your best bet is to do what we did. Find a CRM that listens and offers all the features you need.

Good luck!

Absoultely fundamental to any sales/marketing function, really cant believe the mobile app cant schedule a meeting!!

 

especially to small independent businesses.  Without it i couldn't ever invest further in this crm.   huge market for crms's to benefit from if they can support it effectively

Guys it actually can. If you go into settings, activate the Hubspot
keyboard. Then when typing an email, switch keyboard to Hubspot Keyboard
and you will have the option to add your meeting links!! Recently realized
this usage and it changed my life.
