For Agents

Create, update, search, and archive HubSpot CRM Tasks — including assigning a task to an owner with a due date and associating it with a contact, deal, or ticket — through /crm/v3/objects/tasks.

Quickstart

Get started with Tasks in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"create a hubspot task for a contact"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Capabilities

View OpenAPI Document

The HubSpot CRM Tasks API manages Task records — to-dos that sales reps and CSMs use to follow up with contacts, deals, and tickets in HubSpot. Tasks have due dates, owners, statuses, types (call, email, to-do), and priorities, and can be associated with any other CRM object. The API exposes single-record CRUD, batch read, batch create, batch update, batch upsert by unique property, batch archive, and a full search endpoint with filters on owner, due date, status, and any custom property.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Tasks API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Automated Follow-Up Task Creation

When a contact takes a key action (downloads a whitepaper, requests a demo, replies to an email), an automation creates a HubSpot Task assigned to the right rep with a due date and the contact association already set. POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks accepts the task body and association inputs in a single call, so the rep sees the task in their HubSpot Tasks queue within seconds. For high-volume campaigns, POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks/batch/create handles up to 100 tasks per request.

Call POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks with hs_task_subject, hs_task_body, hs_timestamp (due date), hubspot_owner_id, and an association to the contactId.

Overdue Task Reporting

Sales managers need a daily view of overdue tasks per rep so they can coach and reassign. POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks/search with filters on hs_task_status='NOT_STARTED' and hs_timestamp before today returns the matching tasks, sorted by oldest first. The endpoint supports paging so even teams with thousands of open tasks can be reviewed in batches of 100. Exports power dashboards and alerting in Slack or email.

Call POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks/search with filters on hs_task_status='NOT_STARTED' and hs_timestamp lt today, sorted ascending, then page through results.

Bulk Task Reassignment

When a rep leaves or changes territory, dozens or hundreds of their open tasks need to be reassigned. A script searches for the rep's open tasks and calls POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks/batch/update with the new hubspot_owner_id for each taskId. The whole reassignment finishes in seconds rather than the manual reassign-one-at-a-time workflow in the UI.

Call POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks/batch/update with inputs containing each taskId and hubspot_owner_id set to the new rep's user ID.

AI Agent Daily Standup Prep

An AI productivity agent prepares a daily summary for each rep: open tasks due today, overdue tasks, and tasks closed yesterday. Through Jentic the agent searches for the tasks search and read operations, executes them with appropriate filters, and formats the result. Jentic stores OAuth credentials in its vault so the agent only handles scoped execution tokens.

Search Jentic for 'list hubspot tasks for owner due today', load the search operation, and execute it with filters on hubspot_owner_id and hs_timestamp range.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

HubSpot OAuth tokens and private app keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped execution tokens — the raw secret never enters agent context or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with intents like 'create a hubspot follow-up task' and Jentic returns the matching Tasks operations with typed input schemas, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing HubSpot's docs.

Time to first call

Direct HubSpot Tasks integration with OAuth and batch handling: 1-2 days. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

Asana API

Asana offers richer task management features (subtasks, dependencies, projects) outside a CRM context.

Choose Asana when task management is the primary workflow rather than a side-effect of CRM activity, especially for cross-functional projects.

Alternative

ClickUp API

ClickUp combines tasks, docs, and goals in one platform with comparable task CRUD endpoints.

Choose ClickUp when teams want a single tool for tasks, docs, and goals rather than CRM-embedded tasks.

Complementary

HubSpot Contacts

Tasks are typically associated with Contacts; use Contacts to look up the right contactId before creating a task.

Use Contacts to find or create the contact, then create a Task associated with that contactId.

FAQs

Specific to using Tasks API through Jentic.

What authentication does the HubSpot Tasks API use?

It supports OAuth 2.0 (recommended for public apps) and HubSpot private app access tokens passed as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Through Jentic the token is stored encrypted in the vault and injected at execution time so the agent never holds the raw secret.

Can I associate a task with a contact, deal, or ticket through this API?

Yes. POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks accepts an associations input that links the task to one or more existing CRM records (contactId, dealId, ticketId). You can also create the association after the fact via the Associations API.

What are the rate limits for the HubSpot Tasks API?

HubSpot enforces 100 requests per 10 seconds for OAuth apps and 190 per 10 seconds for private apps on Enterprise tiers, plus daily quotas. Use POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks/batch/create and batch/update (up to 100 tasks per request) for high-volume task workflows.

How do I find overdue tasks for a specific rep through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'find overdue hubspot tasks for owner', load POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks/search, and execute it with filters on hubspot_owner_id, hs_task_status='NOT_STARTED', and hs_timestamp less than today. Jentic returns the typed task list.

How do I mark a task as completed via the API?

Call PATCH /crm/v3/objects/tasks/{taskId} with hs_task_status set to 'COMPLETED'. The corresponding HubSpot UI updates immediately. For many tasks at once, use POST /crm/v3/objects/tasks/batch/update with the same property change for each taskId.

Does archiving a task with DELETE /crm/v3/objects/tasks/{taskId} delete it permanently?

No. Archive is a soft delete — the task is removed from default queues and search results but can be restored within HubSpot's retention window. To permanently remove records you must use HubSpot's GDPR delete process.
