crm_associations dont seem to pull inside emails

[Manobyte]

Im trying to pull custom objects associated to contacts in an email. And I have confirmed that my code is working on regular pages, but it is blank when I put the module in an email. So im wondering, does the {{ crm_associations() }} function not work in emails? or is there a different way to pull that information.

An update on this, I tryed using the crm_associations() call with a static ID rather then the personalization token ID, and it did return the expected values. I then found someone with a similar porblem on the developer slack that sugested not using the personalization token, but rather just using the 'contact.hs_object_id' right in the association call like this:

• {% set associated_objects = crm_associations(contact.hs_object_id, "USER_DEFINED", 18, "limit=20&orderBy=-weekly_pay", "company,connect_url,title,description,weekly_pay,start_date,end_date,shift_length,address,city,state,zip") %}

And this has worked for me!

I was not able to make it work, In only one case I've got an object representing an empty list while I had items in the association, I've tried with different association ids from the schema. In other cases even though the UI in the design tools was not showing error (it shows error on the line with  crm_associations if the property is not found on the association) I've got a null in return. 

Any clue about what I may be doing wrong?

I pull the ID using the personalization_token(), and this works just fine, but the 2nd part for the crm_associations() returns nothing, dispite it working just fine on a webpage, and previewing as a contact that has the association.

{% set contact_id = personalization_token('contact.hs_object_id', '') %}
{% set associated_objects = crm_associations(contact_id, "USER_DEFINED", 18, "limit=20&orderBy=-weekly_pay", "company,connect_url,title,description,weekly_pay,start_date,end_date,shift_length,address,city,state,zip") %}
