Hi! I use activity automation, mostly for creating follow up activities for new deals.  Most of these activities take only 5 minutes.  When I create an activity from deal view I can set the duration to be as little as 5 minutes.  But in the automation, the minimum duration time is 15 minutes.  Will this be updated in the future so that the duration options match?

    Are you looking to track time against a deal?

    If yes - might be easier to use a time tracking tool rather than activities

    Hi!

    Thank you for leaving your feedback here about our automations.

    I reached out to our product team about this and they confirmed that for the moment the minimum duration is indeed 15min when setting up an activity with automations. They have however opened a task to investigate and see if this can be changed in the future.

    Kind regards,
    Andreia

    Hi Boris, no I'm not.  I specifically wanted 5min activities during automation so I can schedule my follow ups sequentially and not stacked.  Thanks for the suggestion though.
