Overview
Generate a Canadian invoice from a HubSpot deal
An invoice is the document that gets you paid, and it is usually built from the last one. Someone opens a previous invoice, swaps the customer, retypes the line items from the deal, recalculates the tax and hopes the total matches what was agreed.
This template takes that job away. Data merge pulls the bill-to company, the contact's address and email, and all of the deal's line items into a Google Doc laid out for Canada: your Business Number (BN) in the from block, a GST/HST line, transit and institution numbers in the payment section, and the issue date in MM/DD/YYYY. Your seller details and payment terms stay as fixed text in the template, and output management files each finished invoice.
It suits agencies, consultants, trades and distributors that close deals in HubSpot and bill from them. Regional siblings cover Australia, the UK and the US, and the whole family ladders up to invoicing.
Who is this for
Is this template right for you?
Finance teams and freelancers who invoice clients regularly.
-
An invoice the moment the deal is ready. The invoice is generated from the deal when the stage changes, so billing starts while the work is fresh instead of waiting for someone to find last month's file.
-
Totals match the deal. Every line, price and tax amount comes from HubSpot, and the subtotal, tax and total due are formulas over the line items, so the invoice cannot disagree with the deal.
-
Written for Canadian invoicing. A Business Number, a GST/HST line, transit and institution number fields and MM/DD/YYYY dates are already in the template, alongside 30-day payment terms you can edit.
Setup
How to set up the invoice workflow
-
01
Step 1: Connect HubSpot and Google Docs
Open Portant, install the HubSpot app from the Marketplace, and connect the Google Drive account that will hold the invoice template and the generated invoices.
-
02
Step 2: Fill the seller and payment details once
The from block and payment section are fixed text in the template: your company name, address, Business Number (BN), email, phone, account holder, transit number, institution number, account number and bank. Replace the bracketed placeholders and the sample bank numbers once, and every invoice carries them.
-
03
Step 3: Check the deal mapping
The bill-to and line item tags are already mapped to the HubSpot deal's company, contact and line items. Confirm the properties match how your portal names them, and set tax on the line items, since the GST/HST line sums their tax amounts.
-

Step 4: Set the trigger and filing
Choose the deal stage, workflow action or app card button that starts the run, and tell output management where to file the finished invoice. If finance reviews invoices before they go out, add an approval workflow first.
Frequently asked questions
An invoice is a document a seller issues to request payment for goods or services. It lists what was sold, the quantities and prices, any tax, the total due, and when and how to pay. This template generates one from a HubSpot deal in about a minute.
The bill-to block uses the deal's associated company name and the contact's street address, city, state or region, postal code, first and last name and email. The table uses each line item's description, quantity, unit price and net price. The subtotal sums the pre-discount amounts and the GST/HST line sums the tax amounts.
Yes, as a line on the invoice. The label reads GST/HST and is fixed text, while the amount sums the tax amounts on the HubSpot line items, and the total due adds it to the net prices. The template does not apply a rate itself, so set tax on the line items.
Both are bracketed placeholders in the template, an invoice number and a due date marked net 30 days, not merged fields. Fill them in on each invoice, or map them to deal properties if you want them filled automatically. The issue date is stamped from the run timestamp.
Yes. The account holder, transit number, institution number, account number and bank are fixed text, so replace them once in the Google Doc. The payment terms section ships with 30-day terms, a late fee of 1.5% per month (or the maximum allowed by law) and a clause allowing work or delivery to pause when an invoice is more than 14 days overdue. It is fixed text, so edit it to match your contracts.
Yes. The same workflow ships as Invoice (AU), Invoice (GB) and Invoice (US), each with its own tax wording, bank fields and date format. Pick the one that matches where the seller operates. A general-purpose Invoice Template with a discount column and no regional tax line is also available.
