How to complete HubSpot tasks faster

By Vincent van der Plas, maker of Task Turbo · Last updated 22 October 2026

Work your tasks back to back instead of one by one. Open a task view and click Start [x] tasks: HubSpot opens each task on its record, one after the other. Group your tasks in queues and saved views first, so calls and emails come in separate runs. Then put Complete task and Next task on keys, so you stop looking for the buttons.

Key takeaways

1. Group your tasks in queues

Go to CRM, then Tasks, click Actions and choose Manage queues. Click Create task queue, give it a name, choose who can use it and click Save. Each user can create up to 20 queues. To move existing tasks, tick them, click Change queue and pick the queue. Queues are labels for grouping. They do not decide the order you work in.

2. Save one view per kind of work

On the tasks page, filter by Queue (or use Advanced filters) and click Save view. A view for calls and a view for emails keeps you in one kind of work at a time.

3. Work the view back to back

Open the view and click Start [x] tasks to work every task in it, or tick a few tasks and click Start [x] tasks at the top of the table. HubSpot opens the record of the first task. You can skip a task, which leaves it open. The X in the bar takes you out of the run. Working tasks back to back needs an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub seat. In the sales workspace, the Start tasks button on the Summary tab does the same for all your assigned tasks.

4. Put the repeat clicks on keys

In a run of 50 tasks you click Complete task and move to the next one 50 times. HubSpot has no shortcut for either, so Task Turbo adds one:

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a paid HubSpot seat to work tasks back to back?

Yes. HubSpot says completing tasks back to back in a view needs an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub seat.

Can tasks land in a queue automatically?

Yes. In workflows (Sales Hub or Service Hub Professional and Enterprise) the Create task action has an Add to task queue option. In sequences, a task step has a Queue dropdown.

How many task queues can I make?

Up to 20 per user in each HubSpot account.

Is there a shortcut for Complete task?

Not in HubSpot itself. Task Turbo lets you bind it to any key combo you choose.
