Hubspot API: Get Contact Custom Object Records with Hubl (Solved)

Seems straightforward enough, but for some reason it isn’t until it is. Sound familiar? Likely.

This walkthrough assumes you have already:

1. Created a Hubspot Private App and have the Bearer Token (this request requires setting an Authorization Bearer Token using your private app token)
2. Created a Hubspot Custom Object and associated it bi-directionally to Hubspot’s defined Contacts Object
3. Have the Custom Object ID (this can be found in the URL path when viewing the Custom Object in Hubspot)

Step 1:
Get the association ID by using a GET request to this URL endpoint, where {your-custom-object-id} is the Custom Object number:

https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/associations/contacts/{your-custom-object-id}/types

Step 2:
Take the returned association id number from the GET request results and construct the Hubl logic (the first number should be a known contact ID who you know has a custom object record associated to ensure it’s working for you):

{% set associated_object_records = crm_associations({any-contacts-id-with-known-custom-object-records}, “USER_DEFINED”, ASSOCIATION_NUMBER, false) %}

Step 3:
Then output using Hubl in your HTML:

{{ associated_object_records }}

Hope this helps √

This is part of my Hubspot API shorts as I’m working through Custom Objects.
