Hey, @SFu5 👋 Thanks for reaching out! Can you post an example request and response for the association you are doing? Adding it using the code block tool will be helpful, but is not required.

I ran a quick test in Postman:

- I created an email and grabbed the ID

- I used the endpoint provided in the Overview tab — [Associate emails with a record](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/email#associate-emails-with-records)  
`PUT /crm/v3/objects/emails/{emailId}/associations/{toObjectType}/{toObjectId}/{associationType}​`

- Request URL  
`https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/objects/emails​`

- My request (I used a Private App for Authorization)  
`PUT https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/objects/emails/26823740672/associations/contact/451/198​`

- The response body

Thanks for the additional information! — Jaycee
