How to add invoice article automatically?

Topic: How to automatically add invoice articles

Context: I utilize ZohoBilling for managing monthly payments, generating subscriptions via ZohoFlow.

Problem: I require assistance in enhancing my invoicing process.

DetailsZohoBilling generates monthly payments with a predetermined total amount (X) provided by ZohoFlow. I need to automatically itemize the total subscription amount into two distinct articles within the same invoice:
  • Article 1: $20.00 (fixed amount)
  • Article 2: $80.00 (variable amount based on X - $20.00)
Question: Could someone suggest a method to achieve this automatically using ZohoFlow or another internal automation tool?
