Batch Contact Update with association objects

Developer Support APIs & Integrations
1

Hello, we currently are using batch creates for contacts. Along with the contact properties we also send a association object. This is working fine.

We are also batch updating contacts and sending a association object. However, the associations are never saved.

Does bactch contact update support sending the association object along with the contact like it does when you use batch create?

Thanks

I’m having the same issue. The API docs don’t mention the associations field being supported, and it appears to be ignored. The endpoint in question is POST /crm/v3/objects/contacts/batch/update.

It would be really helpful if there was continuity across update and create, rather than getting involved with the associations API.

Did you get an answer on this? the same seems to be true for upsert, the association fields are just ignored. this is problematic because if i upsert a new contact, hubspot by default will create a company with the domain, which could be not the company’s actual domain. if i don’t let hubspot create a company automatically, if someone were to create a contact in the UI, it will not have a company. love your experience.
