Error while create contact note

JAndrus8 — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 20:23:23 GMT

I am trying to create a note for a contact using a API request but it gives following response

{
    "status": "error",
    "message": "invalid from object type 0-46 for associations to be created. expected: 0-1",
    "correlationId": "da755ba0-b9e5-40e7-b3ef-97c870f7018e",
    "category": "VALIDATION_ERROR"
}

this is how my request look like

{
"properties": {
     "hs_timestamp": "2023-02-12T15:48:22Z",
     "hs_note_body": "test note body"
},
   "associations": [
      {
        "to": {
          "id": 123 // customer id
        },
        "types": [
        {
            "associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED",
            "associationTypeId": 201
        } ]
     }
    ]
}

any idea about what's going wrong here

I have exactly the same issue.

When making a request to https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v4/associations/contact/note/labels, I get the following response.

{
    "results": [
        {
            "category": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED",
            "typeId": 201,
            "label": null
        }
    ]
}

So, I have used 201 as the association type ID like you. Still, I am getting this validation error.

Any chance we can get some help on this?

Hey I was able to find the solution for this.

You need to use association typeId as 201 instead of 202

The error is still there even after setting the 'associationTypeId' to 201. Any solution on this?

using `"associationTypeId": 201` didn't work for me either, even though that's the `typeId` returned from

`GET https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v4/associations/contact/note/labels`.

~~But when I set it to `"associationTypeId": 202` it randomly worked... 🤷 no idea why as `202` is NOT correct; I just randomly tried that number 🤦~~

I figured out why `"associationTypeId": 202` worked:

The Associations url needs to be specified correctly; the `{fromObjectType}` and `{toObjectType}` parts needs to be in the correct order. Since we're associating a note to a contactthe URL to find the correct ID is (notice that `/note` comes before `/contact`😞

`GET https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v4/associations/note/contact/labels`.

This returns:

{ "results": [ { "category": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED", "typeId": 202, "label": null } ] }

So in order to get the failed POST request to create a note on a contact you have to do the following:

{ "properties": { "hs_timestamp": "2023-02-12T15:48:22Z", "hs_note_body": "test note body" }, "associations": [ { "to": { "id": 123 // customer id }, "types": [ { "associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED", "associationTypeId": 202 // note to contact typeId } ] } ] }

This put me on the right track for a very similar problem, thank you!
