Custom Object association and association label

TZiesing — Sun, 27 Nov 2022 20:31:34 GMT

Hi there,

Hope someone can help me with the followin issue:

I created a custom object via the api (at a time when it wasn't possible in the system itself) and added the needed associatio in an array:

"associatedObjects": [
"CONTACT",
"COMPANY",
"TICKET",
"DEAL",
"2-3453932"
]

I am now trying to put together a collection for the external devloper to send me contacts with the associated custom object according to the contact API documentation:

CRM API | Contacts (hubspot.com)

Associate a contact with another object

PUT…/crm/v4/objects/contacts/{contactId}/associations/{toObjectType}/{toObjectId}

Unfortunatley I am struggling with the paramaters I have to fill, especially with the association type.

After trying with different values I decided to reach out to Hubspot support and there I was told that there was no association between the contact and the custom object and that I would have to create an association via PUT to /crm/v3/objects/{objectType}/{objectId}/associations/{toObjectType}/{toObjectId}/{associationType}.

And then was linked to this:

"If the object relationship is already defined, to determine the associationType value, make a GET request to crm/v3/schemas/{objectType}. "

I did this request to get the schema

https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/schemas/2-7111007

and got the response:

{

"fromObjectTypeId": "2-7111007",

"toObjectTypeId": "0-1",

"name": "event_to_contact",

"cardinality": "ONE_TO_MANY",

"inverseCardinality": "ONE_TO_MANY",

"id": "47",

"createdAt": null,

"updatedAt": null

This makes be believe that the association is already there.

I used the values to assign the contacts to the custom object again (the name of my custom object is event):

contact: 15601

toObjectType: event

to Objectid: 47

associationType: event_to_contact

but the response is still:

{
"status": "error",
"message": "Unable to infer object type from: event",
"correlationId": "6146c84b-ad12-47ff-a577-710d327b1e3a"
}

Does this really mean that I have to do the PUT request?

I tried this as well:

https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/event/2-7111007/associations/contact/0-1/event_to_contact

Unfortunately it says:

{

"status": "error",

"message": "Unable to infer object type from: event",

"correlationId": "b9cf3e62-d566-48ed-be83-db78f92d001a"

}

What am I doing wrong. If someone has hint please let me know.

Thanks!

I would then also need to also transfer or assign the specific association labels I created....

Many thanks and best regards
