I have a custom object built out with Contacts associated to each “object.” There are no personalized tokens for customized objects when I try to email the associated contact in a 1-1 email. I know this option is available in automated marketing emails (and we subscribe to the Marketing Professional plan. But I want the option to send personalized emails on a 1-1 basis. Any ideas?
Hi @MLeonard54 it’s a bit of a workaround, but might be worth it if this is critical for you.
You could create a workflow to copy the object property to a contact property and then use the contact property for personalization.
If the object property is dynamic (it changes after being set), it would get a bit more complicated.
Basically you would:
- create a custom contact property, something like “objectname - propertyname”
- create a workflow with the triggers defined based on which contacts need this property for 1:1 emails
- copy the object property and use it to set the contact property
- create your email template with the personalization token for the new contact property
Hope this helps, maybe someone else has a better workaround 
Thank you @Jnix284 Unfortunately, this won’t be a viable solution. The personalized tokens I need are for property addresses and these change every month. These emails are going out to listing agents who have upcoming closings on properties. Each listing agent could have 1-10+ properties and after 30 days, the property is sold and they have additional listings on their profile. So, the object property is not static.
Hi @MLeonard54 Ah, I see, yes, that definitely won’t work.
Have you thought about putting the data behind a login page, so basically in the email they click a button/cta to open the login page and once they login, they are shown their unique listings/closings based on their association to the custom object?
You would need a developer to create an API for you to feed the data to the website page, but I can’t think of another way you could dynamically serve that information in the email directly.
Hello @MLeonard54 ,
I found one wonderful knowledgebase of HubSpot where step by step explanation was given to use personalization in marketing email for custom object - Create custom object records
I suggest you to please confirm that are you following right path.
Thank You

@SNigam Thanks - but I need this for 1 to 1 emails. The solution you offered was for automated emails.
