Hi,

I created a custom object that is associated to deals, contacts and companies.

However, the email/call communication from those objects doesn’t show on my custom object.

I’m unsure how to investigate the problem/fix it.

Thanks for your help

David

Hi @dmattauch

Thank you for reaching out.

From what I can see [here](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/associate-activities-with-records), it seems it should be possible with deals and tickets. However, it is not possible with contacts and companies but I can see how it can be useful so I’d recommend upvoting [this Idea](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/STATS-Automatically-Associate-Custom-Objects-to-Company/idi-p/381154) in our [Ideas Forum](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/ideaslandingpage) regarding this. You can also subscribe to the idea ( **Options \> Subscribe** ) to get notified if the status changes.

If this does not work with deals, I would recommend connecting with [HubSpot Technical Support](http://help.hubspot.com/), as Support is included in your subscription and they will be able to provide real-time assistance for this matter, where you are able to share screenshots and specific examples about this.

Thank you!

Best
