Hello.

It isn’t easy to understand how to correctly build a request to create a note for contact.

We have this doc

[https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/notes?\_ga=2.191268014.508886808.1703082886-818731064.1703082886](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/notes?_ga=2.191268014.508886808.1703082886-818731064.1703082886)

/crm/v3/objects/notes

but it described a lot of property.

We found opened ticket like it:

[https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/Error-while-create-contact-note/m-p/758011](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/Error-while-create-contact-note/m-p/758011)

but this also doesn’t work for me correct

Can you help me form correct json what I need to send for create note for contact

Additional:

1) Contact id as example “12345” - I got it from the search request

2) In documentation we have :

{  
“hs\_note\_body”: “Spoke with decision maker john”,  
“hs\_timestamp”: “2019-10-30T03:30:17.883Z”,  
“hubspot\_owner\_id”: “11349275740” \<--- what id it should be .. if I use Spring boot app what value i sould set (contact id not working for me)  
}

3) Full

curl --request POST \  
--url [https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/notes](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/notes) \  
--header ‘authorization: Bearer YOUR\_ACCESS\_TOKEN’ \  
--header ‘content-type: application/json’ \  
--data ‘{  
“properties”: {  
“hs\_note\_body”: “some text”,  
“hs\_timestamp”: “2023-10-30T03:30:17.883Z”,  
“hubspot\_owner\_id”: “11349275740” \< **\<----- ?**  
},  
“associations”: [  
{  
“to”: {  
“id”: “101” \<---- **as I correctly understand it should be contact id**  
},  
“types”: [  
{  
“associationCategory”: “HUBSPOT\_DEFINED”,  
“associationTypeId”: 2 \<--- **in some docs i find the contact association code is 201 but range for this field 0-1**  
}  
]  
}  
]  
}’

Pls, help me build the correct JSON to add some text as notes to particular contact by contact id ..
