I am using a webhook in Zapier that based on a trigger, makes a put request that creates a note and associates it to a deal. I also want to associate that note with a custom object but am finding a difficult time doing so. For creating the note and associating it to the deal, I used [Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot](https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/crm-associations/crm-associations-overview) to find the association type id of 12 for deals but was wondering if there was a way I could do something similar to associate it with a custom object, or if there are any workarounds that people know of. Not sure if it makes any difference, but we do not have Operations Hub. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! ---

Also - I meant “post” request, not put. ---

Hey @RLeonard First check your custom object’s schema using: ```lia-code-sample GET /crm/v3/schemas/{objectType} ``` If the association to notes is present, it will list the association direction ids. If not you’ll want to update the schema to include the NOTES associtaion by patching the schema: ```lia-code-sample POST /crm/v3/schemas/{objectType}/associations ``` Hope this gets you moving! ---

A note: You’ll want to do the above using a tool like Postman not Zapier ---

Hi Kevin - thank you for the feedback and guidance. I did the get request for my custom object and was given the following: { “fromObjectTypeId”: “2-13328406”, “toObjectTypeId”: “0-46”, “name”: “flip\_projects\_to\_note”, “cardinality”: “ONE\_TO\_MANY”, “inverseCardinality”: “ONE\_TO\_MANY”, “id”: “79”, “createdAt”: null, “updatedAt”: null }, { “fromObjectTypeId”: “0-46”, “toObjectTypeId”: “2-13328406”, “name”: “flip\_projects\_to\_note”, “cardinality”: “ONE\_TO\_MANY”, “inverseCardinality”: “ONE\_TO\_MANY”, “id”: “80”, “createdAt”: null, “updatedAt”: null } My objective is to post a note to my custom object. I tried the following post request: { “properties”: { “hs\_timestamp”: “2023-04-17T15:48:22Z”, “hs\_note\_body”: “Here’s my sample note. This is just a test.”, “hubspot\_owner\_id”: “349248903” }, “associations”: [ { “to”: { “id”:13042541752 }, “types”: [ { “associationCategory”: “HUBSPOT\_DEFINED”, “associationTypeId”: 12 } ] }, { “from”: { “objectTypeId”: “0-46” }, “to”: { “objectTypeId”:“2-13328406”, “id”: 6018585414 }, “types”: [ { “associationCategory”: “HUBSPOT\_DEFINED”, “associationTypeId”: 80 } ] } ] } Whether I use the association type ID of 79 or 80, I always get a resposne similiar to this (here is my response using the association type ID of 80): { “status”: “error”, “message”: “invalid from object type 0-46 for associations to be created. expected: 0-15”, “correlationId”: “f59d5055-d8f7-42b1-90f5-0fb80573033a”, “category”: “VALIDATION\_ERROR” } I’m by no means proficient in this space as I am recently self-taught, so I’m sure I have a handful of errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
