Hi everyone,  
I am trying to access a **deal property** on a **contact-based workflow** for a **Teams** or **Slack** notification, however that does not seem to be possible.  
Is there a way I can access the properties of an associated deal like {{ deal.name }} or {{ associations.deal.name }} ?

Of course, I’ve tried both without any success.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi @vid,

No, using the token syntax won’t work, unfortunately. You would either have to create a deal based workflow or copy the deal information into the contact so that you can reference it as a contact token.

Best regards!
