Automate tasks on deal stages

Last updated: June 22, 2023

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

Sales Hub Starter, Professional, Enterprise

Set up automation that creates tasks when a deal moves from stage to stage. For example, create an outreach reminder task assigned to a sales rep when a deal is likely to close.

If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can also create automation in the workflows tool to automate processes based on deals.

Please note: to automate tasks on deal stages, you need to either be a Super Admin in your HubSpot account or have Account access.

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the main navigation bar.
  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Objects > Deals
  • Click the Pipelines tab.
  • In the Select a pipeline section, click the dropdown menu, then select the pipeline to automate.
  • Click the Automate tab. 
  • To automatically create a task in a specific deal stage, in the deal stage's column, click + Create workflow.
