Slightly different question but is there a way to carry across an existing deal ID to a new pipeline? From an audit trail perspective all our onboarding deals are moved into a new pipeline via “create new deal” workflow therefore a new deal ID is created. Would rather not trigger onboarding pipeline another way given multiple contacts or deals per company can exist. ---

Hey there newcomer and welcome! I totally understand the need for your request. If you are a paying customer, the solution could be pretty straightforward. Here are my initial thoughts that might need some fine-tuning: 1. Create a custom property labeled what you want (e.g. contract number, deal id, etc.) 2. Then update a deal to be, let’s say 0001 3. Create a workflow that updates this property by increasing its value by 1 each time a new deal is created 4. You will want to have the re-enrollment setting turned on and enroll previous deals Let me know your thoughts! Brian Carter ---

Hi Bryan Could you perhaps show me or explain how to add that sequential number. I understand the theory but I am not sure how to build the workflow you suggested. Thanks! Nicole ---

Hey Nicole, So you will need to have a property that is based on a numerical value. After that, you’ll make the triggers i.e. “Contract #” is “Unknown” and deal is in stage X. Then it’s pretty straight forward: ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/1/a1099bf14d5699afbc6daac393abeca7f71a14cf.png) ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/b/dbeeb0b8582af5d62c8f986cb28046297f785556.png) Good luck!

Hi Brian! I am looking for the same functionality, but I also need the number to start at eg. 9000, not 1. Do you know if this is possible? Regards Magnus ---

Hey Magnus, Last time I used this feature, you could start with any number you needed. Best, Brian ---

Hi again Brian! Am trying to follow your recipe, but I am missing something. I have created a deal property called Ordre ID witch is a nummeric number. I also have a contact based workflow that creates deals based on forms submissions. The workflow that creates deals also sets the deal property Order ID. Do I set the value to e.g. 9000 or do I manually write in 9000 when a deal has been created? I have tried both ways but are not able to get the number to increase. I have made a deal based workflow that triggers if a deal enters the pipeline that should increase the Ordre ID property by 1, but as mentioned it stays on 9000 when a new deal is created. Do you know what I am doing wrong? Best regards Magnus ---
