Date based deal workflow

It would be great if you could create a date based deal workflow.

Hi @Viola,

 

Yes, this should work great for that use case. Create a deal workflow, add a Delay until a date action, and in the delay use the deal properrty "recurring revenue inactive date" and set the delay up to calculate 45 days before that property value. This will dynamically adjust the delay for each deal's unique date.

Hi Everyone,

 

Thanks for the continued comments and questions. This feature has launched and is now available to all customers using the workflows app. The new delay action ("Delay until a date") allows you to create delays centered around both a calendar date (eg. an event happening on 9/15/22) or centered around a date property (for example the "close date" of a deal). The delay can be used in any type of workflow.

 

Our KB doc has all the details: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/workflows/use-delays#delay-until-a-date

 

Thank you so much for your openness and feedback that helped form this feature and bring it to fruition.

 

Best,

Megan

Hi folks,

 

I'm Megan, a product manager for the workflows tool at HubSpot. 

 

My team is currently working on date based delays for deal workflows (and all other object type workflows). These delays will allow you to create delays that are relative to a date in a particular date property (eg. deal close date), or a fixed date (eg. 4/1/22). Please follow this thread for updates as the feature moves through development.

 

Thanks!

Megan

Does this also solve the following case:

We created a new workflow and would like the workflow to start 45 days before the Recurring Revenue inactive date, which is different for every deal. Means the Account Manager should receive an e-mail whenever a Deal's inactive date is in 45 days. That would help us so much! Thanks
