Hello! I want to automatically, through a workflow, create a Subscription and associate it to the Company, the Contact with the association lable = Billing Contact, and the recently closed Deal. The trigger should be upon closing the deal and moving it to Closed Won. Also, I have a property in the Deal record called: Active Users, which basically is the number of active users on the client’s account, pulled from our backend system. Can I have this number of active users as the Line Item in the Subscription and the Invoices? Finally, I want to have the generated Invoices from this Subscription to, alos, be automatically associated with the same records the Subscription is associated with. Is it too much? 😅 ---

Hi @AAbu-Farha Not too much at all 😅 — this is exactly the kind of automation flow a lot of teams aim for once they start using subscriptions + invoicing. I’d love to pull in a few folks from the Community who’ve built subscription/invoice automations and know what’s supported natively vs. what needs an integration. @RubenBurdin @Karushna1 @CarolinaDeMares — have you implemented workflows that (1) create subscriptions on Closed Won and auto-associate them to the deal/company/contact with labels, (2) map a deal property like “Active Users” into subscription line items/invoices, and (3) ensure invoices inherit the same associations? Any product-accurate guidance or known limitations would be super helpful here. Appreciate any insights! Victor ---

I’ve implemented exactly this workflow for SaaS billing automation — here’s what’s natively possible vs. what needs a workaround: \*\*Part 1: Auto-create Subscription on Deal Close ✓\*\* Good news: You can trigger a workflow when “Deal Stage = Closed Won” and use the “Create Record” action to create a Subscription object. The associations to Company, Contact, and Deal happen automatically based on the deal’s existing relationships. For the “Billing Contact” label, you’ll need to add a “Set Association Label” action after creating the subscription (Professional+ feature). \*\*Part 2: Active Users → Line Items ⚠\*\* This is the tricky part. HubSpot workflows can’t directly map custom deal properties into subscription line item quantities. Your options: 1. Use the HubSpot API via Make/Zapier to read the “Active Users” property and create the line item programmatically 2. Create a custom coded action in workflows (Operations Hub required) to push the value 3. Manual workaround: Create the subscription via workflow, then use a task to remind your team to add the line item \*\*Part 3: Invoice Associations ✓\*\* Invoices generated from subscriptions automatically inherit the subscription’s associations to Company/Contact/Deal. You don’t need additional workflow actions for this — it’s built into the subscription billing engine. \*\*My Recommendation:\*\* Start with the workflow for Parts 1 & 3, then add a [Make.com](http://Make.com) scenario to handle the Active Users → Line Item mapping via API. The HubSpot Subscriptions API endpoint supports line item creation with dynamic quantities. Let me know if that works for you! ---

@amjadkhatri the option to create a Subscription is not available anymore? I am trying to replicate this and it does not give me the option? Perhaps there has been an update since you proposed this solution. ---
