InvoiceFlow

Overview

InvoiceFlow automates the entire invoicing process for freelancers, agencies, and B2B service businesses by instantly creating and sending professional Stripe invoices the moment a deal closes in HubSpot. This AI-powered invoice automation agent eliminates manual data entry, reduces billing delays, and ensures clients receive payment requests within seconds of deal closure, transforming closed opportunities into immediate revenue cycles.

How It Works

1. Trigger on Deal Closure — Receives a HubSpot webhook notification when a deal reaches "Closed Won" status, automatically initiating the invoice workflow
2. Retrieve Deal Details (HubSpot) — Extracts the closed deal's amount, line items, client company information, and associated contact data
3. Fetch Primary Contact (HubSpot) — Looks up the primary contact's name and email address using the email property for accurate invoice delivery
4. Search Stripe Customers — Queries your Stripe account to check if a customer record already exists for the contact email, preventing duplicate profiles
5. Create Stripe Customer (if needed) — Automatically generates a new Stripe customer profile with the contact's name and email when no existing record is found
6. Add Invoice Line Items (Stripe) — Converts each HubSpot deal line item into a Stripe invoice line with descriptions and amounts
7. Generate Invoice (Stripe) — Creates a professional Stripe invoice with 14-day net payment terms in draft status, ready for customization
8. Compose Invoice Email (Claude) — Uses advanced AI to draft a personalized, professional invoice cover email that references the project details and payment terms
9. Create Gmail Draft — Saves the generated email as a Gmail draft with the Stripe invoice link, allowing human review before sending
10. Log Activity (HubSpot) — Records the invoice generation as a timeline activity on the deal for complete audit trails and CRM visibility
