Trigger Deal workflow if a line item is modified

[MPenn6]

I have a little webhook script that can calculate sales tax and insert it in as a line item for a deal. I can trigger it on deal creation. However, I need to trigger it anytime a line item is modified or added.  I can't seem to re-enroll a deal into a workflow based on a line item change. Am I missing something? Is there a workaround?

Hi @MPenn6,

Out of the box this isn't possible, unfortunately. Re-enrollment can only be triggered by a property on the object that the workflow is based on.

One option would be to also update a custom deal property, let's call it Refresh, on the deal object with your script. At the end of the deal-based workflow it would be cleared. Whenever there is a line item change, it would be set to yes.

Hope this helps!

That's a very good idea. Thanks!

Also, I realized that I can play off of an amount change on the deal. That also allows me to re-enroll the deal.
