One Contact with multiple personas

[Coline]

Hello community,

I have 3 companies managed by the same contact. I created this contact, and linked him to company 1. Ok no problem.

Then, I tried to link him to company 2. It worked, but at the same time, he disappeared from my list of contacts of company 1.

Can the same contact be linked to multiple companies?

Hi All  - I would love this feature too. For gathering business intelligence we'd love a field that allowed us to track if someone previously worked at a company.  PipeDrive allows this sort of as you can create a custom field that has the value of an organisation.

the beta looks great with the association labels. The sector I work in is quite and a lot people have roles in various companies. Being able to create your or own labels addresses this situation beautifully.

Hi All, Is one solution to create a custom object that replaces the Company standard object? Would you be able to associate a contact to multiple custom objects?

[TiphaineCuisset]

Hi @rogerlee 

Thank you for reaching out. 

This is indeed possible with a Enterprise subscription - Custom objects can be associated to multiple contacts and vice-versa. 

Thank you

Hello! Any update on this feature yet? When will this be available?

[TiphaineCuisset]

Hi @justinescs @JVial 

Thank you for reaching out. 

This is currently in private beta, you can find more about that here. You'll need to contact your account manager or hubspot technical support to get access. 

Hope that helps.
Have a lovely day,
Tiphaine.

@TiphaineCuisset  My Account Manager has applied to enter me into the beta, and has yet to recieve a response.

Hi @mikebrown 

Thank you for reaching out. 

That's strange, can you send me the HubID of the portal you want to access the beta with via DM? 

Thank you

Has there been any update on this fix?

[Inflectiv]

I am as well. I know a number of companies who are frustrated with this limitation. Thank you!

[AdamAllcock]

Very interested to follow these developments!

Hello , any solution for this issue ???

[PamCotton]

Hello @ABENMALEK @ahamaton @MMorini00 at the moment the beta for "related companies" is closed so we can prep for an improved version of this functionality, built on a new infrastructure, which is coming in the near-term future.

My recommendation is to please update and leave your comment on this idea here. Doing so will also auto-notify you if/when this functionality becomes available within HubSpot. You may read more about how that review process works here.

Thank you,

Pam

I'm not sure what you mean by 'update and leave your comment here', I clicked on that link and left that comment in that chat, so now I have the same comment in two chats ? is duplication necessary ? and what do you mean by 'update'  Thanks, Andrew

[PamCotton]

Hello @ahamaton,  here in our Community is different from our ideas forum. You may read more about how that review process works here.

Since it's not a featured yet what the original user requested, we direct our users to an idea of a feature creation that is not built yet at HubSpot, and it's the idea I shared above, where our product team will update once it's created, different from this Community post. 

Kindly,

Pam

Hi There - there's good news.  The development request is now "in planning" which means they're adding it to the development pipeline but no definitive date yet.   See here:  https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Associate-one-contact-to-multiple-companies/idi-p/192...

[PamCotton]

Thank you for sharing with the Community @Smudgers_81 !

Kindly,

This is a core feature HubSpot should really be adding.

Our most important contacts, the evangalists who recomend us into to businesss all have multiple company associations either as an investor or consultant /contractor. Not being able to track this or segment on this is killing our ability to get the most out of the HubSpot, I wish we'd know this before we signed up.

Hi @willtp ,

On my comment before I mentioned that this feature is in Beta currently.

"I have great news! I was able to find a similar idea to this subject, and currently it's on beta.

Please fill out this form here  if you would like to be ungated for our "Related Companies" beta feature."

More information about this feature available here.

Kindly,

Pam

[LasseNyrup]

Hi @PamCotton,

I have filled out the form weeks ago, but haven't heard anything since. Can you please give me a status on us beeing ungated for the Realted Companies beta feature?

We currently sit on our hands and can't deploy our new GTM strategy before this particular feature is live for us.

Best,

Lasse

Hello @LasseNyrup,

Looks like the form Related Companies beta request is no longer accepting responses.

I would recommend commenting on this Idea here   since the product team is updating there with Beta updates.

Kindly,

Pam
