It would be great if we could automatically trigger workflows based on changes happening within HubDB.

E.g. We are managing job openings in HubDB and we’re aligning this with a custom object ‘jobs’, so we have more possibilities to report on jobs.

However, if we want to take a job offline (e.g. remove a hubDB row), we want to make sure the custom object job record als gets an update that the vacancy is closed.

Similarly, we’d like to sync HubDB info to the custom object, so they are always aligned (the other way is possible with custom code).

We have a similar need. There is a similar request here that needs more votes here [HubSpot Community - HubDB data in reports and workflows - HubSpot Community](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/HubDB-data-in-reports-and-workflows/idi-p/365444)  
It’s a big miss atm to not be able to automate HubDB within HubSpot itself.
