Associate files to custom object attachment

[Brik]

Hi,

I am trying to link files uploaded throught the API with my "assets" custom objects.

My upload went well and I can see my files in Hubspot.

First I tried this way, it worked for contactIds and my file is now link to my test contact, I can see the file in my contact attachments on Hubspot.

So I tried to also add the "assetsIds" but it didn't worked for this association.

Here is the response, we can see in associations that I don't have my "assets" custom object.

So instead I tried this way but I am getting a 415 'Unsupported Media Type' (I also tried with the v3)

 

I am a bit confused, I tried to look into differents posts here and I read the documentation about engagement, associations and custom objects but I can't figure out how to link my files to my custom objects attachment. Hopefully you can help me !

Thanks !

For anyone that finds this post in the future, this app solves for this kind of thing natively in the UI using workflow actions: https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/apps/marketing/data-management/file-attachment-association...

While not the actual code necessary to do this, the app solves teh use case of attaching files to objects.

Hey, @Brik 👋 Thanks for reaching out. I've done this a few times now and always find it a bit mysterious.

Here's my quick test:

• I created a note and grabbed the ID 25906880309
• I have a test custom object called Boats
• I grabbed the objectType and objectID 
  Type — 2-7913954
  ID — 1976776222
• I used this endpoint — Associate a note with another object
  

  PUT /crm/v3/objects/notes/{noteId}/associations/{toObjectType}/{toObjectId}/{associationType}​

• Request
  

  curl --request PUT \
    --url https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/notes/25906880309/associations/2-7913954/1976776222/boat_to_note \

          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }​
