Example:

We are using two custom objects

1. is all calls

2. is ‘soft’ leads

I need a selection of 1 to create 2. I can currently perform a workaround by enrolling 1 into a workflow and creating a deal. Then enrolling the deal into a workflow and creating 2.

That’s a lengthy workaround where a lot of data is being moved around and could cause problems with reporting.

Thanks, like I say, I have a workaround that does work for me but it does feel that in a custom object workflow, the create record function should also include other custom objects

Thanks for the tag @Brenner 🙂

I don’t see a standard function in the HubSpot workflows to create a Custom Object record (like we can for standard objects). With Operations Hub and the custom code option, there may be code to write that creates a custom object record, but I don’t see documentation on that anywhere.

I added this to the [ideas forum here](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/The-ability-to-create-custom-object-record-in-workflow/idi-p/781407#M140889) if you want to give it an upvote and comment.
