Associations

Records can be linked to each other: a deal to its company and contacts, a contact to companies and deals, and so on. The associate, disassociate, and associations commands manage these links. Each --company, --contact, or --deal option takes a record ID and can be repeated to link several records at once.

# Link a deal to a company and two contacts
hubspotctl deal associate 201 --company 301 --contact 101 --contact 102

# List everything linked to a deal
hubspotctl deal associations 201

# Unlink a contact from the deal
hubspotctl deal disassociate 201 --contact 102

By default these create the unlabeled HubSpot association. To apply a labeled association (e.g. "Primary", "Decision maker"), pass --label / -L with the label name or its numeric type ID. Use the labels command to see what is available for each object pair.

# See which labels exist from deals to companies and contacts
hubspotctl deal labels

# Link a contact to a company using a label
hubspotctl contact associate 101 --company 301 --label "Decision maker"

These commands expect numeric record IDs, not email addresses. disassociate removes all associations between the two records (it does not target a single label).

Properties

Each object type has a set of default properties that are fetched and displayed. You can request additional properties with the --property / -P flag on list, show, and search commands. You can also set arbitrary custom properties when creating or updating objects with --prop key=value.

You can filter results by property values using --filter / -F on list and search commands. Supported operators: =, !=, <, >, <=, >=, ~ (contains token). Multiple filters are combined with AND logic. Filter properties are automatically included in the output.

Contact properties (default):

• email — email address
• firstname — first name
• lastname — last name
• phone — phone number
• company — associated company name
