# Hubspot association

## Description

The **HubSpot Association** entity defines the relationships between different HubSpot records, such as linking a contact to a company, a deal to a contact, or a ticket to a company. Associations are essential for maintaining a connected data model and enabling contextual reporting and automation

The **HubSpot Association** activity enables creating, retrieving, and removing associations (relationships) between HubSpot CRM objects like Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tickets, and Engagements.

Use this activity to:

- Get – Fetch existing associations from a source object to a target object by specifying object IDs.
- Create – Establish new relationships between two HubSpot entities (e.g., link Contacts to Deals).
- Remove – Delete existing associations between objects in HubSpot.

> Use Case: Automate the process of linking contacts to deals and companies in bulk when ingesting data from a CSV file, enabling seamless relationship management across HubSpot modules during lead onboarding workflows.
