One or more associations are not valid when creating deal

[DEgiptsev]

Hello!

Have trouble with assotiating contact to deal. I try to create deal using POST crm/v3/objects/deals API with next associations array

"associations": [
        {
            "to": {
                "id": 3101
            },
            "types": [
                {
                    "associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED",
                    "associationTypeId": 3
                }
            ]
        }
    ],

And I getting an error:

{
    "status": "error",
    "message": "one or more associations are not valid",
    "correlationId": "6e479ecb-245a-4c4b-9071-ffed833b6683",
    "category": "BAD_REQUEST"
}

May be exists some ways to get more accurate error? Because contact id is 100% correct

Hey, @DEgiptsev 👋 Thanks for reaching out. I tried a similar request using the on-page example to Create a Deal — POST/crm/v3/objects/deals

Request:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/deals \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \

          "associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED",
          "associationTypeId": 3
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}'

}

In this case, it's hard to say what the root cause is. The endpoint in a simple form (using the on-page example) works as expected. Can you share your full request? 

Best,
