How to Create Hubspot Tasks and Tickets in Microsoft Teams
Integrating Hubspot with Microsoft Teams lets your team turn everyday chat conversations into organized work. By connecting the two platforms, you can create and manage tasks and tickets from Teams messages without switching tabs, which keeps your sales, service, and operations teams focused and efficient.
Why Connect Hubspot and Microsoft Teams
Linking Microsoft Teams to your Hubspot workspace centralizes communication and follow-up work. Instead of copying details from a Teams thread into your CRM, you can generate work items directly from the chat.
With this connection in place, you can:
- Create tasks from Teams messages and sync them to your CRM records
- Open and edit tickets while staying inside Teams
- Notify channel members about important follow-up actions
- Keep all customer context visible across both tools
This guide is based on Hubspot's own instructions for using the official Microsoft Teams integration.
Prerequisites for the Hubspot–Teams Integration
Before you start building Hubspot tasks or tickets from Teams, you must meet several requirements on both sides of the integration.
Hubspot account requirements
- You need a Hubspot user account with permission to install and manage apps.
- You must have access to tasks and tickets tools in your subscription.
- Your Hubspot email address should match the work account you use in Microsoft 365, if your organization enforces sign-in policies.
Microsoft Teams requirements
- Access to Microsoft Teams with permission to install apps within your tenant.
- The Microsoft Teams admin must allow the Hubspot app in the Teams app store.
- Any security or compliance restrictions for third-party apps must be configured to permit this integration.
Install and Connect the Hubspot App in Microsoft Teams
Start by installing the official app in Teams and connecting it to your Hubspot portal.
Step 1: Add the Hubspot app in Teams
- Open Microsoft Teams on the web or desktop.
- In the left sidebar, click Apps.
- Search for Hubspot in the app marketplace.
- Select the app named Hubspot published by Hubspot, Inc.
- Click Add to install it for your account or select the appropriate install option for your organization.
Once added, the app will appear in your Teams sidebar or within the apps list for quick access.
Step 2: Connect Microsoft Teams to Hubspot
- In Teams, open the Hubspot app panel.
- Click the option to Sign in or Connect.
- A new browser window will open, asking you to log in to your Hubspot account if you are not already signed in.
- Select the correct Hubspot account and portal when prompted.
- Review the requested permissions for the Teams integration and click Connect app or Authorize.
After authorization, the systems are linked and ready for creating tasks and tickets from Teams.
Create Hubspot Tasks from Microsoft Teams Messages
Once the integration is active, you can turn any relevant chat message into a tracked task in Hubspot.
Step 1: Open the Teams message
- Navigate to the Teams chat or channel that contains the message you want to convert into a task.
- Hover over the specific message to reveal the message actions menu.
Step 2: Use the Hubspot message action
- Click the More options icon (often shown as three dots) on the message.
- From the drop-down, select More actions.
- Choose Create Hubspot task from the list of actions.
If you don't see the option immediately, your Teams admin may need to pin or allow the Hubspot message extension.
Step 3: Configure the Hubspot task details
- A panel opens within Teams showing the task creation form pulled from your Hubspot account.
- Enter or confirm the following details:
- Task title that clearly states the action required
- Due date and optionally a time
- Task type (such as call, email, or to-do) if supported
- Priority if your account uses task priorities
- Owner who is responsible for completing the task
- In the description field, Teams automatically includes a copy of the original message text, which you can edit for clarity.
- Associate the task with the right Hubspot records, such as contacts, companies, deals, or tickets, by searching within the panel.
- Click Create to send the new task to Hubspot.
The task is now stored in your Hubspot portal, linked to any records you associated, and ready to be managed as part of your usual workflow.
Create Hubspot Tickets from Microsoft Teams
For service and support teams, being able to raise tickets from Teams threads makes it easier to track customer issues without leaving conversations.
Step 1: Locate the message to convert into a ticket
- Find the Teams message that describes the customer issue or internal request.
- Hover over the message and open the More options menu.
Step 2: Launch the Hubspot ticket action
- Select More actions from the message menu.
- Click Create Hubspot ticket if it appears in the list.
As with tasks, the ticket option comes from the installed Hubspot app and may need to be configured by your Teams admin if it is not visible.
Step 3: Fill in Hubspot ticket properties
- The ticket creation pane opens inside Teams, connected to your CRM.
- Complete the ticket fields, which may include:
- Ticket name describing the issue
- Pipeline and stage for your service process
- Priority (low, medium, high, etc.)
- Ticket owner or team
- Source or channel if your fields require it
- The message body from Teams is typically added to the description, ensuring the full context is stored in Hubspot.
- Associate the ticket with relevant contact or company records in your CRM.
- Click Create to add the ticket.
The new ticket appears in your service pipeline in Hubspot, ready for assignment, automation, and reporting.
Manage and Review Hubspot Work from Within Teams
After creating tasks and tickets, you can continue to use Microsoft Teams as a workspace to stay aware of changes happening in your Hubspot account.
- Pin the Hubspot app as a separate tab or sidebar icon so it is always available.
- Use notifications configured in Hubspot to send updates to specific Teams channels.
- Mention colleagues in Teams when sharing links to tasks or tickets to align on next steps.
This workflow minimizes context switching and keeps all follow-up responsibilities visible to everyone.
Troubleshooting the Hubspot–Teams Integration
If you run into issues creating tasks or tickets from Teams, check these common areas:
- Confirm the Hubspot app is installed and allowed in your Teams environment.
- Verify that you are signed in to the correct Hubspot portal inside the Teams app.
- Check user permissions in Hubspot to ensure you can create tasks and tickets.
- Ensure your browser or Teams client is updated to the latest version.
