Hubspot tasks calendar sync guide

Connecting Hubspot tasks to your Google Calendar or Outlook calendar keeps your follow-ups and reminders visible wherever you work. This step-by-step guide walks you through how to set up the sync, what appears on your calendar, and how to manage or disconnect the integration later.

What the Hubspot task calendar sync does

When you turn on the task sync, Hubspot automatically creates calendar events based on your tasks. This helps you track important activities in a single place without manually re-entering task details.

After setup, your calendar will show events for tasks that:

• Have a due date and time.
• Are assigned to you.
• Are created or updated after the sync is enabled.

The sync is typically one-way from Hubspot to your calendar. You manage task details in your CRM, and your calendar reflects those updates.

Requirements before you sync Hubspot tasks

Before turning on the integration, make sure you meet these requirements:

• You have an active Hubspot account and can log in.
• You have access to tasks and basic CRM tools.
• You use either Google Calendar (through a Google or Google Workspace account) or Outlook Calendar (through Microsoft 365 or Exchange).
• You can authorize third-party apps to access your calendar account.

You may also need appropriate permissions in your company’s Google or Microsoft environment, depending on admin policies.

How to connect Hubspot tasks to Google Calendar

Follow these steps to sync tasks to Google Calendar from within your CRM settings. Once complete, new tasks with due dates will appear as events.

Step 1: Open your Hubspot task settings

1. Log in to your Hubspot account.
2. Click the settings icon in the top navigation bar.
3. In the left sidebar, locate the section related to tasks or calendar integrations.
4. Open the task sync or calendar sync settings page.

This settings area is where you control whether Hubspot tasks push into external calendars such as Google.

Step 2: Connect Hubspot to your Google account

1. On the task sync page, choose the option to connect Google Calendar.
2. A new window will prompt you to sign in to your Google account if you are not already signed in.
3. Select the Google account that corresponds to the calendar where you want to receive Hubspot task events.
4. Review the permissions requested and click to allow access.

Once authorized, Hubspot can create calendar events on your behalf based on your CRM tasks.

Step 3: Choose how your Hubspot tasks appear

After connecting, you can usually configure how tasks map to Google Calendar:

• Select the specific Google Calendar where events should be created.
• Confirm whether all future tasks with due dates should sync.
• Check how task titles appear in event titles.
• Confirm time zone settings so event times align with your workday.

Save your preferences. From this point forward, tasks that meet the criteria will start appearing in Google Calendar as events.

How to connect Hubspot tasks to Outlook Calendar

You can also sync Hubspot tasks to Outlook, which is useful if your team works primarily in Microsoft 365 or Exchange environments.

Step 1: Access Hubspot calendar sync settings

1. Log in to your Hubspot portal.
2. Click the settings icon at the top of the interface.
3. In the left sidebar, open the section for tasks or calendar sync.
4. Locate the Outlook or Microsoft calendar option.

The same area that manages Google connections is usually where Outlook configuration lives as well.

Step 2: Authorize the Outlook connection in Hubspot

1. Click to connect Outlook or Microsoft calendar.
2. A window will redirect you to the Microsoft sign-in page.
3. Enter your Microsoft 365 or Exchange credentials, or choose your existing account if you are already logged in.
4. Review the requested access permissions and approve the connection.

This authorization lets Hubspot create events on your Outlook calendar that mirror your CRM tasks.

Step 3: Configure Outlook event behavior

After you connect Outlook, configure the basic sync behavior:

• Select which Outlook calendar should receive Hubspot task events.
• Confirm whether only new tasks will sync or if updates also change existing events.
• Validate time zone and default reminders for events created from tasks.

Save the settings to begin receiving events in Outlook that correspond to your tasks with due dates.

What syncs from Hubspot tasks to your calendar

The calendar sync focuses on core task information so that your schedule matches what you see in the CRM.

Depending on the integration, synced events can include:

• Task title as the event title.
• Task due date and due time converted to event start time.
• Optional reminder time if the calendar supports it.
• Basic description fields sourced from the task notes.

Not every field from Hubspot tasks may appear in your calendar, and completed tasks may not always update your calendar automatically. Always verify the current behavior in your integration settings.

How to manage and disconnect the Hubspot sync

You can adjust the integration or turn it off completely from the same area where you first enabled it.

Update sync settings in Hubspot

1. Go to the settings page in your Hubspot portal.
2. Open the tasks or calendar integration section.
3. Locate the connected Google or Outlook account.
4. Adjust options like which calendar to use or which tasks should sync.
5. Save your changes.

Changes usually apply to future events and may not retroactively adjust all existing calendar entries.

Disconnect your calendar from Hubspot

1. From the same settings area, find the disconnect or remove account option.
2. Confirm that you want to remove the Google or Outlook connection.
3. Optionally, remove the integration from your Google or Microsoft security settings to fully revoke access.

Once disconnected, no new events will be created for your tasks. Existing calendar events remain, but they will no longer update from Hubspot.

Best practices for using Hubspot task sync

To get the most out of the integration, follow a few simple practices:

• Always set a due date and time on important tasks so they become calendar events.
• Use clear, action-oriented task titles so calendar entries are meaningful at a glance.
• Regularly review your open tasks inside Hubspot to keep your calendar accurate.
• Test with a few tasks first to confirm how the sync behaves with your calendar setup.
