Hi @JGray30,

That depends on which object the contact is associated to. Is it a label for a deal, company?

Generally yes, you can build lists based on association labels but the steps depend on those details.

Best regards

There are no deals, its a simple Contact to Company Association and the Lable is Decision Maker so I can identify those contacts that are decision makers. I then wantto create a list that contains “Decision Makers” only.

No deals are involved it is pureely to identify those Decision Makers, via a List and then email them

Hi @JGray30,

You hadn’t mentioned any object, hence my question.

If you want to create a list, you would have to filter for contacts associated to a company where the association corresponds to a label, see an example below:

</div>

1. Select as company property “create date” with the value “is known”.
2. Afterwards, you will see in the left sidebar **Group 1** and “_Contact is associated to: Any Company …_”
3. Click on “_Any Company_” and select the label you need.

Hi, could you please explain this in more detail? I don’t appear to have the category "Contact is associated to: Company with label “XXX” " I am trying to create a list of contacts that have a specific custom company association label assigned to them.

Hi @karstenkoehler,  
this solves listing association labels between contact to company. How do I create a list of associations between company to company? For example creating a list of all companies labelled as “child” companies.  
Thank you very much for the help!

@DerFabian same steps – create a company-based list, click ‘Add filter’, then change the dropdown from ‘Company (Current object)’ to ‘Company (Associated Object)’.

I just realized that I can create a company list and can switch from “Company (Current Object)” to “Company” as associated object as well. That does the trick.

@JGray30 in this step…

… click “Company properties”, then find “Create date”, select “is known” and then you should see the option to specify the label.

Hey @JGray30

maybe this article will help a little bit

> **[Create and use association labels](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/create-and-use-association-labels)**
>
> Learn how to label your record associations for relationship distinction and use labels in other HubSpot tools such as segments, workflows, and reports.

I think what you are missing is the : Contact is associated to any company""Then you click there and set the label.

@jrtbv first select “Company (Associated Object)”, **then click “Company properties” first, then search for “Create date” and filter for “is known”.** Then you should see the association label.
