Manage Sales Activities in the Updated HubSpot Workspace

The updated HubSpot sales workspace gives reps a focused place to track tasks, log calls, send emails, and record notes without bouncing between tools. This guide walks you through each activity type so you can move deals forward efficiently from a single screen.

In the workspace, activities are grouped into cards with a prioritized activity list, quick actions, and contextual information pulled in from records. You can use the same surface to prepare outreach, follow up on deals, and capture every interaction as it happens.

Overview of Activities in HubSpot Sales Workspace

The sales workspace centers around your activity list. From here, you can complete and create:

• Tasks
• Calls
• Emails
• Notes
• Meetings and LinkedIn activities (where available)

Each activity opens in a side panel so you keep full context on the contact, company, deal, or ticket you are working with. Activity outcomes, notes, and associations update records automatically in HubSpot.

Set Up and View Your HubSpot Activity List

Before acting on activities, configure the workspace to match how you work.

Access the HubSpot Sales Workspace

1. In your HubSpot account, navigate to the main navigation bar.
2. Open the sales workspace from the Sales section.
3. Load your default activity view to see tasks, calls, and other items in one queue.

The activity list shows due dates, owners, record associations, and quick actions so you can move down the list in order.

Filter and Sort Activities in HubSpot

Use filters to focus on a specific type of activity or time period:

• Filter by activity type (tasks, calls, emails, notes).
• Filter by owner to see just your own activities.
• Filter by due date to concentrate on what is overdue or due today.
• Sort by priority or due date to shape your outreach sequence.

Saved views let you return to common filters quickly, keeping your HubSpot workspace aligned with your daily workflow.

Create and Manage Tasks in HubSpot Workspace

Tasks are the backbone of follow-up in the sales workspace. You can create tasks directly from the activity list or from individual records.

Create a Task from the HubSpot Activity List

1. In the activity list, click the button to add a new task.
2. Enter a clear title that describes the next step.
3. Select the associated contact, company, deal, or ticket.
4. Set a due date and time.
5. Choose a task type, such as call, email, or to-do.
6. Assign the task owner if different from yourself.
7. Click Save to add the task to the list.

The task appears in the queue with its due date and associations visible. From there you can complete it directly in the workspace.

Edit, Complete, or Delete Tasks in HubSpot

Manage the task lifecycle from the same activity list:

• Edit: Click the task name to open the details panel and update title, due date, associations, or notes.
• Complete: Mark the checkbox to complete the task and log the outcome on associated records.
• Delete: Use the more options menu to remove tasks that are no longer needed.

Bulk actions let you complete or reassign multiple tasks at once for faster team management.

Log and Make Calls from HubSpot Workspace

The sales workspace lets you log past calls or place new calls using connected calling tools without leaving HubSpot.

Log a Call in the HubSpot Activity Panel

1. Select an activity or record associated with the contact you called.
2. Click the option to log a call.
3. Enter call details, including:

• Call outcome (connected, no answer, voicemail, etc.).
• Notes or highlights from the conversation.
• Next steps you agreed on.

4. Save the call log to update the timeline on associated records.

Logged calls appear in the activity feed for the contact, company, deal, or ticket so your team can see the full interaction history.

Place a Call from HubSpot Workspace

1. Open the activity list and select an item associated with the contact to call.
2. Click the call icon to launch calling from HubSpot.
3. Choose the phone number and calling integration if prompted.
4. Complete the call while viewing the contact’s details and notes.
5. After the call, select an outcome and save notes in the same panel.

Because calling is embedded, you keep context in view while capturing accurate data in real time.

Send and Track Emails in HubSpot Sales Workspace

You can draft, send, and track sales emails directly from the workspace, using templates and personalization tokens provided by HubSpot tools.

Compose an Email from the HubSpot Activity List

1. Select a task or record related to the contact you want to email.
2. Click the email icon to open the email composer.
3. Choose a connected email address if you have multiple inboxes.
4. Enter a subject line and compose your message.
5. Optionally, insert a template, sequence, or snippets for faster outreach.
6. Add personalization tokens based on contact or company properties.
7. Review the email and click Send.

The email is tracked and logged to the contact’s record automatically, and you can see opens and clicks where available.

Manage Email Activities in HubSpot

From the workspace you can:

• Reply to or forward logged emails.
• View engagement metrics tied to each email.
• Create follow-up tasks based on email outcomes.

This keeps your communication history unified across the entire sales process.

Capture Notes and Other Activities in HubSpot Workspace

Notes help you store context that does not fit into a specific call or email. You can also track meetings and social activities where supported.

Add a Note from the HubSpot Activity Panel

1. Open an activity or record that needs more context.
2. Click to add a note.
3. Enter key details, such as pain points, decision makers, or internal comments.
4. Use formatting for bullets or emphasis where needed.
5. Associate the note with relevant contacts, companies, deals, or tickets.
6. Save the note to the timeline.

Notes become part of the shared record history so any teammate can quickly understand the account.

Track Meetings and Other Actions in HubSpot

Depending on your configuration, you can also:

• Log past meetings with outcomes and attendees.
• Track activities that originate from integrated tools, such as calendar systems or LinkedIn.
• Create follow-up tasks immediately after each logged meeting.

Every activity stays connected to the right records in HubSpot, giving you a complete view of the sales relationship.

Best Practices for Using HubSpot Sales Workspace

To get the most from the workspace, establish consistent usage habits across your team.

• Work from the queue daily: Start your day with the activity list so nothing slips through the cracks.
• Always associate activities: Link tasks, calls, emails, and notes to the right records.
• Use clear titles and outcomes: Make it easy for teammates to understand the status of each activity.
• Update immediately: Log calls and notes right after they happen to capture accurate detail.

Documenting these practices in your sales playbook helps new reps adopt the HubSpot workspace quickly.
