Create a contact and associate it with a company

[retorquere]

When I create a new contact with 'company': 'Company name', it doesn't list it as an associated company in the contacts overview. How do I associate a contact with a company during/after create?

Hi, @retorquere! You probably need to create association between contact and company manually.
Please check how this can be done in Companies Sample App.

Do you know in what property of the contact this would show up? I'm trying to keep a list of contacts synced with an associated company in HubSpot, so I'd need to test on this association before deletes/updates.

I'm not sure if "company" property is available during "contact" request.

What you can do is to request associations for a contact. Example of using associations is here.

Hello, to associate a contact with a company I am using the following code:

from hubspot import HubSpot
from hubspot.crm.contacts import PublicObjectSearchRequest, SimplePublicObjectInput, ApiException

def associateContactWithCompany(contact_id, company_id):
    try:
        return api_client.crm.contacts.associations_api.create(contact_id=contact_id, to_object_type="company", to_object_id=company_id, association_type="contact_to_company")
    except ApiException as e:
        print("Exception when calling associations_api->create: %s\n" % e)

Most of the times works fine, the issue comes when I create the user and the company at "the same time", sometimes this association doesn't work, I don't get any error but when I check in Hubspot's web console I see that the contact company is not the one I set, instead the one I chose I get the one that corresponds to the contact's email. I think there is a race condition, the association should be performing before the contact or the company is available on Hubspot. Have anyone had this kind of issue before? is there a way to overcome this?

Thanks
