Contact to contact association

[NBouzid]

Hello everyone, 

I am working on trying to efficiently display assistants in the contact sheet of their manager (maybe using cards). But I understand that it is not possible to associate a contact to another contact... 

Are there workarounds that works for you ?

Thanks a lot

Any news on this feature? It would be very useful! Thanks.

Hi @NBouzid,

Correct, HubSpot seems to be working to make that feature available but it isn't yet.

Until then the best option is to copy the link to a contact record (A), then navigate to the contact record (B) you'd like to associate it to. On B, add and pin a note that contains the link to A. Then do the same vice versa, copy the link to B and add and pin a note to A.

(This will of course not be respected as an association by any HubSpot tool.)

Best regards!

Hello Karsten, 

Thanks for your reply.

Too bad that this feature is not on yet, it would have been very helpful. 

I will try your suggestion

Do you know some extern applications that can help with this in the meantime ?

Hi @NBouzid,

Associating records of the same object type is simply not possible, unfortunately. There wouldn't be any third-party solutions which can solve this in a way that tools would respect this association the same way that other associations are respected.
