I want to associate multiple courses to a contact. How can i do that

[rahulkdp]

Hello Developer community. 

I want to add multiple courses to a particular contact through an api. I am unable to find a way on how to add multiple records against a particular contact. 

Looking forward to hearing from you on how can I achieve this.

Welcome, @rahulkdp.

What kind of HubSpot object or property are you using for these "courses?"

It's not possible to associate more than one company with a single contact, but you can associate multiple deals and mutliple tickets with the CRM Associations API.

Thanks for your reply @IsaacTakushi 

Will I have to create a new object - courses and the relationship between contact and courses should be 1: M i.e. one contact can have multiple courses?

Is there any better way to achieve this.

Hi, @rahulkdp.

It sounds like your ideal scenario involves creating a custom object in HubSpot to store course information. Is that correct?

HubSpot currently does not support custom objects like this. This CRM integration guide includes a description of every supported object and how they associate with each other.

The following objects can be associated with contacts in a 1:many way:

• Deals (You could also create a deal programmatically with the Deals API and associate it with the CRM Associations API.)
• Tickets (You could also create a ticket programmatically with the Tickets API and associate it with the CRM Associations API.)

CRM extensions are another option. They can be associated with any HubSpot CRM object (contact, company, deal, ticket) in a 1:many fashion, but instead of living inside HubSpot, HubSpot makes a GET request to a webhook of your choice to retrieve the data and display it on object load.
