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 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") %}
