Notes API Creating Notes but not associating it to a Contact

AChakravarthy0 — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 22:27:25 GMT

I am trying to create a note and associate with a contact. I am able to execute the request successfully but i do not see the notes associated with the contact in the UI:

I do a POST request to https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/objects/notes

with the following request body:

// Example request body

{

"properties": {

"hs_timestamp": "2023-09-22T03:30:17.883Z",

"hs_note_body": "Test Note"

"associations": [

{

"to": {

"id": 1060101

"types": [

{

"associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED",

"associationTypeId": 202

} ]

}]

}

I get back a 201 response:

{

"id": "40452090768",

"properties": {

"hs_body_preview": "Test Note",

"hs_body_preview_html": "<html>\n <head></head>\n <body>\n Test Note\n </body>\n</html>",

"hs_body_preview_is_truncated": "false",

"hs_createdate": "2023-09-26T22:23:55.902Z",

"hs_lastmodifieddate": "2023-09-26T22:23:55.902Z",

"hs_note_body": "Test Note",

"hs_object_id": "40452090768",

"hs_object_source": "INTEGRATION",

"hs_object_source_id": "2132579",

"hs_timestamp": "2023-09-22T03:30:17.883Z"

"createdAt": "2023-09-26T22:23:55.902Z",

"updatedAt": "2023-09-26T22:23:55.902Z",

"archived": false

}

However i do not see notes under the "Notes" tab or "Activity Timeline" tab

Hi @AChakravarthy0

The Associations API is very fussy with Association Types. Based on this list of Association Type ID values I would try 201 – Contact to note rather than 202 [edited to correct error] which is in your example.

Did that work?

Hi, did you mean use 201 - Contact to Note?

I just did a PUT request on https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/objects/contact/1060101/associations/note/40452090768/201

I get the response as

{

"id": "1060101",

"properties": {

"createdate": "2023-09-26T21:17:25.709Z",

"hs_object_id": "1060101",

"lastmodifieddate": "2023-09-26T23:29:38.119Z"

"createdAt": "2023-09-26T21:17:25.709Z",

"updatedAt": "2023-09-26T23:29:38.119Z",

"archived": false,

"associations": {

"notes": {

"results": [

{

"id": "40452090768",

"type": "contact_to_note"

}

]

}

But i still dont see the notes on the UI associated with the corresponding contact

Hi @AChakravarthy0

Your post says you are using v3 but it should be using v4 of the API.

https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v4/objects/contact/1060101/associations/note/40452090768/201

Did that work?

Mike

p.s. I fixed the error in my reply, thanks
