I am not sure if this is the right place for this question but if someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.  
Before starting to develop App Object and App Events we had a discussion with our HubSpot App Partner representative, they suggested that specific field values of an app object or app event associated with a Contact can be used in workflows and as tokens in emails.  
However while developing it seems that this is true but only via custom email tokens which is a marketing enterprise feature.  
Does anyone know if this is indeed a limitation? If so is there a work around? Can this be done via an App defined workflow?  
Thanks

Hey @AWWebinarGeek,

Great question, and this board is the right place, thank you! Hoping a few folks who may have hands on experience with this can weigh in on tier limitations and possible workarounds!

A couple of resources that might help in the meantime:

- 
  - [Overview of app objects](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/apps/developer-platform/add-features/app-objects/overview)
  - [App events overview](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/apps/developer-platform/add-features/app-events/overview)
  - [Use personalization tokens](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/marketing-email/use-personalization-tokens)

Hey @Anton, @SteveHTM, @GRajput -- do you have any suggestions for @AWWebinarGeek on this?

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Sam, Community Manager

Hi Sam,  
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately the personalize content with tokens link is not working for me, do you have another similar link?  
Thanks in advance
