Request discount approval in Slack for HubSpot deals using Make

Prerequisites

Make Core plan or higher
HubSpot connection via OAuth
Slack connection in Make
Custom HubSpot deal property for discount percentage

Step 1: Watch for deal updates

Add HubSpot CRM → Watch Deals (Updated deals).

Step 2: Filter by discount threshold

Add a Filter: discount_percent greater than 15.

Step 3: Send Slack message

Add Slack → Create a Message:

🏷️ *Discount Approval Needed*
 
*Deal:* {{dealname}}
*Amount:* ${{formatNumber(amount; 0)}}
*Discount:* {{discount_percent}}%

Step 4: Set up approval webhook (advanced)

For true interactive approvals, you need two scenarios:

Scenario 1 (this one): Sends the Slack message with buttons using the Make an API Call Slack module to send Block Kit with action buttons that point to a Make webhook URL.

Scenario 2: A separate scenario triggered by a Webhook module that receives the button click callback from Slack, parses the action, and updates the HubSpot deal's approval status.

Two-scenario pattern

Make can't pause a scenario to wait for a Slack response like n8n can. Instead, you use two separate scenarios connected by a webhook — one to send the message, and another to process the response.

Cost

Core plan: $10.59/mo. ~3-5 credits per approval flow.
