The Ghost Task Glitch in HubSpot Service Hub - And How the CS GPT Fixes It

Support teams in HubSpot Service Hub keep seeing the same spooky glitch:

You delete a task - and it comes back.
Delete it again - it still returns.

The culprit? You accidentally created a recurring task.

And now you’ve got a graveyard of ghost tasks cluttering your queue, haunting your reps, and making task management a chore.

The GPT That Caught It

The Customer Success and Service for HubSpotters GPT flagged this instantly.

Here’s what it recommends:

  • Uncheck “Set to repeat” when creating tasks (yes, it’s that simple - but easy to miss).
  • To clean house:
    1. Open the task
    2. Kill the recurrence
    3. Bulk delete the mess

Why It Matters

It’s not glamorous. But it’s exactly what your CS team needs - a GPT that understands their world, their workflows, and their inbox horror stories.

If you’ve ever tried to onboard a rep and spent the first 20 minutes explaining why 47 tasks are fake… this one’s for you.

Try the GPT. It connects the dots between tickets, customers, and churn - and sometimes, it just saves you from being haunted by bad task settings.
