## Set HubSpot as Your Workflow Source
Choose HubSpot as your source when setting up your workflow.
Select a primary object, such as:
* **Contacts**
* **Companies**
* **Deals**
* **Tickets**
* **Custom Objects (NEW)**
Custom Objects and any items from your HubSpot Object Library will appear below the primary ones.
> **Note:** If some objects from the **Object Library** appear greyed out, make sure they are enabled in your HubSpot account.
After selecting your source, name your workflow, pick an icon and color, and click **Create**.
## Connect and Customize Your Document Template
Click **Add Template**.
Choose your template type:
* **Google Docs**

Choose how to create your template:
* **Select Google Docs/Slides file:** Use an existing file from Google Drive.
* **New Google Docs/Slides file:** Start with a blank document.
Once selected, click **Select** to confirm your template.
Customize your template by inserting HubSpot tags directly from the Source Table:
* **Click Copy beside a tag.**
* **Paste the tag (CTRL+V or CMD(⌘)+V) into your template.**
You can also customize the **Output Name** and choose export formats such as PDF and others.
> **Note:** Documents exported as PDFs on the Free plan include a Portant watermark. [Upgrade to Teams or Pro](https://app.portant.co/settings/billing) to remove it.

## M**anage Your HubSpot Fields**
HubSpot contains many properties—including custom ones—that you can include in your workflows.
Click **Manage HubSpot Fields**:
Next, you’ll see a list of all available objects and their properties. Click on an object to view its associated properties.
Select the fields you need and click Save
You can also sort associated objects by field and order—for example, to include Line Items in Deals.
## Generate Your First Document
Once your workflow and template are set, head over to HubSpot, open your object (e.g., a Deal). Then, locate the **Portant App Card** in the right-hand panel.
Click **Generate Documents**, then choose your workflow.
> **Note 1:** Workflows only appear for the corresponding primary object selected in Portant.
> **Note 2:** If you don’t see all the Portant App Cards in your HubSpot account, here’s how to easily add them: [Learn more](https://docs.portant.co/portant-docs/sources/hubspot/how-to-install-the-portant-app-in-hubspot/how-to-add-portant-app-cards-to-hubspot).
A modal will appear. Select any associated objects (e.g., Contacts or Line Items) and click **Start Automation**.
The document will be created in a few seconds.
You will then see the generated output document displayed in the modal. A copy of the document will also be automatically saved in a newly created folder in your Google Drive.
That's all there is to it, you've just set up a document workflow using a HubSpot as a data source!
