Hi @PAtlan, Unfortunately, out of the box it’s not possible to make associations using workflows. You have two options if you’d like to only do that within Hubspot : 1. You have operations profesionnal and can write a custom code 2. You can use a marketplace app called [associ8](https://app-eu1.hubspot.com/ecosystem/25577305/marketplace/apps/productivity/workflow-automation/associations-app-272901) (check their docs, they do have working examples) that will add new actions in your workflows like associating a record with another from a separate object (custom or not) In both cases, you would indeed make your workflow a site-based workflow, and in the workflow triggers select : contacts \> create date is known. This way any contact that is associated with the site will trigger it. Here is an example with a test custom object on my portal (you’d replace bateau by site in your case) : ![LMeert_0-1649256978127.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/2/5/25d3a2f513c3d4537d21c6fa76cc57b82e887d50.png) Then you would use one of the two ways aforementionned to make your association with the company. Hope this helps ! If it does, please consider marking this as a solution 🙂 Best, Ludwig --- _[View the full topic](https://community.hubspot.com/t/workflows-custom-objects-and-associations/54468)._
