How to automatically create tickets for each line item in a deal using workflows?

ASantos10 — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 18:08:55 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm working with multiple line items within deals, and I need to create a ticket for each line item when I start an operation.

Currently, when I begin working on a deal, I manually create individual tickets for each line item registered in that deal. I'd like to automate this process using HubSpot workflows.

Is there a way to set up a workflow that automatically creates a ticket for each line item associated with a deal? I'm looking for a solution that would trigger when a specific deal stage is reached or when a particular property is updated.

Any guidance on how to configure this workflow would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @ASantos10 ,

This is possible if you have Hub permissions to create tickets via workflows.

Enroll Trigger:
When Deal [PROPERTY/STAGE] is [VALUE]

Actions:
AND/OR Branch 01:
If Line Item [PROPERTY] is: [VALUE 01]
-Create Ticket 01 then go action to Branch 02

If not, go to next AND/OR Branch 02:
If Line Item [PROPERTY] is [VALUE 02]

-Create Ticket 02 then go action to Branch 03

If not, go to next AND/OR Branch 03:

Etc.

Items to consider:
Where it might get tricky is if you want to put token information about the Line Item into the ticket, there are multiple Line Items associated beyond "first associated"/"last associated", and if you have flexible Line Item info that requires token usage instead of text entry.
What happens if an associated Line Item is added/removed/updated after it reaches the enrollment trigger and has already gone through the workflow.

Please let me know if this is what you are looking for, if you have any questions, or would like to share more detail if that didn't quite meet your question.

Hey!
Unfortunately, HubSpot workflows don’t natively loop through each line item in a deal and create separate tickets automatically — they’ll only create one ticket per workflow action.

If you want a true “one ticket per line item” setup, you’ve got two main options:

Custom-coded workflow action – If you have Operations Hub Professional or Enterprise, you can add a custom code action in your workflow. The code can pull all the line items for the deal via the HubSpot API and then create a ticket for each one.
Third-party integration or middleware – Tools like Zapier, Make (Integromat), or custom API scripts can watch for a deal stage change, grab the associated line items, and then create tickets automatically.

For a purely HubSpot-native solution without code, you’d need to restructure your process (e.g., have each line item be its own deal/ticket trigger), but that’s not ideal if you want to keep deals consolidated.

If you’re comfortable with light coding or have a dev resource, the API route is the cleanest way to make this work exactly how you’re imagining.

Hi there,
In HubSpot, workflows can create tickets from deals, but they can’t directly loop through each line item and create a separate ticket for each one. Workflows treat line items as associated records, and there’s no native “for each line item” action.
To achieve this, you have two main options:

Custom Code Action (Operations Hub Professional+) – You can use a custom code step in a workflow to pull all associated line items via the HubSpot API and then create individual tickets for each.
External Automation – Use tools like Zapier, Make, or a custom integration that triggers when the deal stage changes and automatically creates tickets for each line item.

If you want to explore the API method, HubSpot’s docs for Line Items API - https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/guides/api/crm/objects/line-items and Tickets API - https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/tickets will be helpful.

@ASantos10,

You can do this without custom code, too.

For this answer I'm assume you've 5 line-items total in HubSpot.

Step 1. Create a Line-item multiselect property in Deal and set a each line-item name value as option.

Step 2. Create a deal based workflow
a. set trigger "when number of associated line item is known".
b. create a branch of each line-item property label.

c. check if associated line-item record ID match condition in each branch.
d. If Yes, set a "line-item" property value based on matching branch.

Step 3. Create a ticket creation workflow based on deal object.
a. Set trigger "when line-item is known". (Note - You can add other condition too)
b. Create a branch for each line-item options
c. Set create a ticket record and copy a "line-item" label as a ticket name.

Try this and I'm sure it will works, other then you have only one custom code options as mentioned above!

Let us know if you have any query or need farther support to setup a entier process workflows!

Hi!

I’m not able to configure this condition in workflows because the property Line Item [PROPERTY] is not available as a filter in workflow automation. Currently, workflows in HubSpot can use deal, company, contact, or ticket properties, but line item–level properties cannot be directly referenced

I cannot create a branch based on line item properties because HubSpot workflows do not support branching directly on line-item–level data. Workflow branching logic is limited to deal, contact, company, or ticket properties.

Hi @ASantos10,

Happy to support you in detail, but based on your above reply!

I think you miss "step 1. Create a Line-item multiselect property in Deal and set a each line-item name value as option." in your execution step.

So, once you create a "Line-item" property in a deal, then create a workflow like this for step 2.

To know how to matach associated line-item name - watch this video clip.

And, lastly for the step 3, I think this is very straightforward and easy to setup an workflow to create a ticket. Still send me an email, DM or reply here for further support!

Hello,

My apologies for not checking to see what you access to first. It is frustrating to read inaccessible suggestions.

However, I do want to add some screenshots below for those with the capabilities to filter triggers and branches on associated objects to deals (the workflow object) inside workflows to see what is possible. Perhaps you can talk to your HubSpot rep about upgrading/entering the beta mentioned at the end if it is still not available to you.

In the screenshots below:
2 screenshots: Trigger accessing Line Item when selected at the top dropdown.
Next 2 screenshots: Branch logic access Line Item when selected at the top dropdown.
Next screenshot: Where to access associated record tokens to insert into ticket descriptions, etc. In the case of multiple line items, you'd likely select edit available records to add more.
Final screenshot: In the case of multiple line items, you''d likely work on stamping/syncing custom properties with unique details per line item to add each individual associated line item correctly for each branch creating a ticket. Depending on your use case's line item volume, this may or may not be a practical solution. In cases of large volume, custom code may be more practical.

Thanks,
Chel
