Automatically associate contact/company records with Deals

I was under the impression that when a Deal is attached to a Company, the contacts would automatically be pulled into the "Contacts" box.

 

I would love the contacts to automatically be added when a company is attached to a deal so that

1. It saves me time

but 2. When making calls, I know exactly which people are affiliated with deals from their companies so I don't call them by accident.

232 now but it's continually ignored by the development team :0(
Be nice to just know they've seen this, pretty poor customer service in my view.

Hello, we came across the need for this feature some time ago. It feels such an intuitive way to work - associating deals with the contact of the deal. At the moment we have to do this manually, it really feels hubspot lacks at times of intuitive functionality - please make it happen soon.

Long overdue, as the deals stack up this manual processing is causing aggrivation. There is no need and in this day and age this function should be automated by now.

Hey everyone, 

We use Calendly to book meetings and create Hubspot deals and contacts from this.

We found a way to auto create Hubspot deals/contacts and auto-connect the 2 together using Zapier. 

Saving us lots of time and hassle in the process.

 

We just published a blog on how you can do this too.

Appreciate any feedback. 


Thanks,

Yes, please. We need this as we are wasting a lot time manually associating communications with deals, which is not sustainable to scale. Thanks for listening, HubSpot, and please please do something to make this happen!

This would be so amazing! It also would help a lot to not forget about any contacts when updating properties, such as lifecycle stage, etc.... @hubspot is this already on the roadmap? Thank you so much!

There is a way in Zapier to Create Associations. Happy to talk through any questions. There are some limitations with what you can do. Issues such as only identifying 1 associated Company to a Contact. If a contact is associated to more than 1 company, you can only see the primary company ID. I agree with the others, that there should be a built in way either through workflow or setting that allows users to autoamtically associate Contacts/Companies to deals based on other associations. It would greatly increase the power of HubSpot.

The more that data can be seamlessly integrated through workflows and associations, to allow greater ability to associate companies to contacts, I see this is a win-win for HubSpot. We are trying to bring as much data into HubSpot as possible to maximize our ability to market to our contacts however without having the ability to properly associate companies in full capacity to our contact records, we are having to do more "data-entry" vs a seamless integration. This is a barrier as we are spending more time on manual labor of import versus utlizing the system to market to each demographic based on their company associations.

i'd love to have this functionality

We need this from an ecommerce perspective. Our B2B sales team places orders for clients (and clients place orders themselves) on our ecommerce platform. The deals are pulled into hubspot via integration, but then these deals are not automatically associated with a company, and this cannot be done with a workflow. Come on hubspot 🙂

I would also love to be able to automatically associate custom object records created from e.g. a form to a Deal.

would love the Deals to be automatically associated with the same Companies as Contacts

Huge time saver to have it go both ways especially with shopify integration. I need my sales reps to be able to see the data from the company level, not the contact level. Since contacts and companies are associated, it would be great if the deal automatically pulled in the associated company.
