The HubSpot mobile app puts core CRM and Marketing Hub tools in your pocket—and that includes task management. From assigning lead follow-ups to tracking content approvals, you can handle nearly every critical task without needing your desktop.
In the “Tasks” tab, you’ll find everything assigned to you or your team, tied to records like contacts, deals, tickets, or companies. Any changes you make in the app—whether that’s completing a task or adjusting a due date—sync instantly with your desktop CRM, so your data stays consistent.
Tasks are tightly integrated with marketing tools like automation workflows, form notifications, and campaign triggers. If you’re using task-based workflows, the mobile app reflects all assignments automatically. You’ll see the same filters, priorities, and deadlines you had in your web dashboard.
If you’re on HubSpot’s Enterprise plan, your mobile app will also surface tools like task queues and sequences. The layout is slimmed down for mobile, but the core functionality stays the same. You’ll even have access to HubSpot’s AI, which can suggest next steps based on patterns in your own activity history—saving you time when urgency matters most.
How It Works Under The Hood
Behind the scenes, the mobile app syncs directly with HubSpot’s CRM database. Each task you create or update references specific objects—like a contact or campaign asset—and any change you make is immediately reflected across all devices.
You’ll input a few core details:
- A task name and due date
- The associated record type: contact, company, deal, or campaign
- Optional notes or priority
- The assigned user
From there, HubSpot generates:
- A CRM-linked task
- Notification alerts to the assigned user by app or email (depending on settings)
- Automatic inclusion in performance and activity reports
You can also enable push notifications for time-sensitive reminders. When a workflow assigns tasks automatically, HubSpot uses each user’s default settings to deliver updates.
While you won’t be able to fully customize fields or build new automations from mobile, you can edit and complete existing tasks instantly. The real-time sync ensures your CRM always reflects the latest activity, no matter which device you’re using.
Main Uses Inside HubSpot
Marketing campaign follow-up
When someone interacts with your campaign—downloads a guide, clicks your ad, submits a form—you need to act fast. Many workflows automatically create follow-up tasks. These show up in your mobile app so you—or your reps—can respond right away.
Example: A new lead downloads your eBook. HubSpot automatically assigns a “Call to qualify” task. You open the app, tap into “Tasks,” make the call from your phone, log notes, and mark it complete right then and there—no need to wait until you’re back at your laptop.
Content review and approvals
You don’t always get to review assets right when you’re in front of your computer. Luckily, your team can assign content approval tasks that include document links or editorial notes—straight from your mobile app.
Example: A teammate creates a task called “Approve November newsletter draft,” and drops a link to the shared doc in the notes. You get the alert, open the app, review the content, and approve it—all without touching your desktop.
Event and webinar follow-ups
The days after a webinar or live event are crucial. Tasks like sending follow-up emails or sorting attendee feedback need to be done quickly. Instead of delaying until you’re back in the office, your team can tackle these directly from their mobile devices.
Example: After a webinar wraps, HubSpot assigns each attendee a follow-up task. Through your app, you open each contact, send a thank-you email using a template, and check off the task—keeping momentum high even while on the go.
Cross-team collaboration
Campaign tasks often overlap among marketing, sales, and operations teams. With mobile task access, every team member can keep their priorities clear, even while working remotely or during travel days.
Example: A marketing-qualified lead hands off to sales. HubSpot adds a “Validate lifecycle stage” task for your RevOps team. They confirm details and update the record directly from their phone—keeping your pipeline data clean and your automations flowing smoothly.
Common Setup Errors And Wrong Assumptions
- Forgetting to assign ownership
Unassigned tasks won’t show up in the mobile view for your reps. Make sure every task, manual or automated, has an owner listed. - Expecting to build workflows on mobile
Mobile is made for task execution, not automation build-out. Use your desktop dashboard to create or refine task-generating workflows. - Misunderstanding sync behavior
Offline mode or a poor connection can cause sync lags. If your tasks aren’t updating, check your app sync settings before assuming the data was lost. - Overloading users with automated tasks
Running too many task-generating workflows can clutter task lists and cause critical activities to get buried. Audit your rules regularly to keep assignments focused and strategic.
Step-by-Step Setup Or Use Guide
Before diving in, ensure all team members have the necessary permissions to view and manage tasks. Then check that the app is up to date on your device.
- Download and log in: Install the HubSpot mobile app from the App Store or Google Play, then sign in with your HubSpot account.
- Access the Tasks tab: Open the app, tap the bottom navigation bar, and select “Tasks.” This shows all open assignments tied to your records.
- Filter or sort tasks: Use the filter icon to drill down: choose “Marketing,” assign queues, and sort by due dates or priority to stay organized.
- Create a new task: Tap the plus sign. Add a title, associate it with a contact or asset, set a deadline, and assign the task to yourself or another team member.
- Add notes and links: Drop helpful details, relevant links, or instructions into the description. Linking to campaign assets or shared documents makes tasks easier to complete on the spot.
- Enable notifications: Turn on push notifications in your phone settings to get ahead of due dates and stay responsive.
- Complete and log tasks: Once it’s done, mark it complete and jot down any key notes. HubSpot automatically logs this to the record’s activity feed.
- Monitor team progress: Tap over to the “Completed” tab to track finishes. These updates sync with your marketing dashboards and contribute to larger performance reports.
Staying current on your to-dos—even while mobile—improves visibility and accountability across the entire team.
Measuring Results In Hubspot
Just checking off tasks isn’t the whole story. You should be tracking how effectively your team closes loops using the mobile app—and how that activity moves campaigns forward.
Use this checklist to evaluate your task execution:
- Task Completion Rate: Are team members following through? Compare completed vs. assigned in each campaign.
- Average Time to Completion: How quickly are tasks being resolved? Use HubSpot’s custom reports to track turnaround speed.
- Task Type Breakdown: Which categories—approvals, follow-ups, reviews—are getting done or falling through? Adjust processes where needed.
- Mobile vs. Desktop Activity: Use the “User Activity by Platform” report to see how often your team manages tasks on mobile versus desktop.
- Attribution Reporting: Look at campaign outcomes linked to task completion. Did follow-ups drive conversions or speed up lead progression?
Custom dashboards with these widgets help you see what’s working and where to course-correct.
Short Example That Ties It Together
Let’s say you’re running a quarterly eBook campaign. Each time a new MQL (marketing-qualified lead) enters the pipeline, HubSpot assigns a task: “Call within 1 day.” But your team is hybrid—often on the move.
After rolling out the mobile app for task tracking, every rep starts receiving instant alerts with new assignments. From the app, they tap into the contact, call directly, log notes, and mark tasks complete. The CRM updates in real time. The result? You check campaign reports and see an on-time completion rate of 95%, with lead progression speeding up across the board.
One small shift—adopting mobile task management—transformed how your team takes action and moves leads through the funnel.
