Hello, i’m trying to create an approved quote via the API. I have associated a deal, line-item and quote template but i always get a `there was a problem with your request` error. I can’t do much with this error message. This is my request (i removed all the id’s but they are fine in my code) `{ "properties": { "hs_status": "APPROVAL_NOT_NEEDED", "hs_sender_firstname": "myName", "hs_sender_email": "my@mail.com", "hs_comments": "Comments for dealName 1", "hs_terms": "terms for dealName 1", "hs_currency": "EUR", "hs_expiration_date": "2024-04-08", "hs_title": "Quote With Template 1", "hs_domain": {{myQuoteDomain}}, "hs_template_type": "QUOTE" }, "associations": [{ "to": {"id": {{templateId}}}, "types": [{"associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED", "associationTypeId": 286}] }, { "to": {"id": {{dealID}}}, "types": [{"associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED", "associationTypeId": 64}] }, { "to": {"id": {{lineItemId}}}, "types": [{"associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED", "associationTypeId": 67}] } ]}` What am i missing? I already tried different variations, with and without setting the domain and template type, owner, different date formats (with hours etc) … always the same error. ---

Hi [@enrico\_baskey](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/526222) 👋 Certainly sounds like a strange one. I can’t find any clear issues with your request body. Could you also please share additional information relating to your request? For example: - Endpoint / URL - Query string parameters (if relevant) - Request method - Headers That additional context might help us get closer to the bottom of this. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. ---

Hi Zach, Thanks for your reply! First i sent a post request to `POST https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/objects/line_items` to create a line item to associate it with the quote. Then i also sent a post request to `POST https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/objects/quote` to create the quote with the given request body. I have the correct scopes in my token, because i can create it as draft, and also tried with a private app token with all available scopes. The headers for my create quote request are these: `Content-Type: application/jsonAuthorization: Bearer {{allscopes}}` I have no query strings. So the full request looks like this (intellij HTTP Client format): `POST https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/objects/quoteContent-Type: application/jsonAuthorization: Bearer {{allscopes}}{ "properties": { "hs_status": "APPROVAL_NOT_NEEDED", "hs_sender_firstname": "myName", "hs_sender_email": "my@mail.com", "hs_comments": "Comments for dealName 1", "hs_terms": "terms for dealName 1", "hs_currency": "EUR", "hs_expiration_date": "2024-04-08", "hs_title": "Quote With Template 1", "hs_domain": {{myQuoteDomain}}, "hs_template_type": "QUOTE" }, "associations": [{ "to": {"id": {{templateId}}}, "types": [{"associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED", "associationTypeId": 286}] }, { "to": {"id": {{dealID}}}, "types": [{"associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED", "associationTypeId": 64}] }, { "to": {"id": {{lineItemId}}}, "types": [{"associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED", "associationTypeId": 67}] } ]}` ---

Hi [@enrico\_baskey](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/526222) 👋 No problem at all, happy to help. Can you please double check your “hs\_domain” property (in your Create Quote API call) and also confirm that you have a connected HubSpot Domain? This can be found in _HubSpot Settings \> Tools \> Website \> Domain & URLs_ The reason being is I was able to replicate your error response in a test HubSpot account that has no connected domains. I hope this proves useful. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. ---

Hi Zach, Thats a good call! I have no connected domains. But i created and approved a quote with the HubSpot UI, and then copied the default domain which for me was \.hs-sites-eu1.com/. I wonder why i can use this domain over the ui, but not via the API, do you think this is the issue? Could you replicate with this domain aswell? > * * * ---

oh my god i found the issue. First i used `"hs_template_type": "QUOTE"` Which was an issue because i needed to use: CUSTOMIZABLE\_QUOTE\_TEMPLATE. When using QUOTE, the hs-domain was always empty. Then my other issue was i used “EUR” as quote currency, but the line-item was in USD. Thanks for your time!
