Hello Clay team. I am setting up a Workbook to keep Hubspot Company-Contact association up to date. To do so I need Clay to process remove associations. Why is not this an option?

Hey Guillermo- just to clarify, do you wish to remove the associations field?

Hello Amit. No, I would like to be able to remove association in Hubspot though Clay just like you can make association between objects

Guillermo – Thanks for this! Really appreciate your feedback, so I'm glad you took a moment to share it with us. I'm curious – could you let me know any specific use cases or workflows or challenges, where these updates would be especially helpful for you?
I'll relay this to our product owners. Any additional context is welcome, so we can keep your situation in mind as we build out the roadmap.

Hi Amit. I can use my use case: I am using a Clay agent to contrast the contact record information in Hubspot (company & email) vs. their Linkedin profile to validate if a contact is still in the same company or not.
If the contact is in the same company no action is taken.
If the contact is in a new company I look for their new email address and update the contact in Hubspot.
The issue here is that I would need to remove the association with the old company in Hubspot and associate it to the new company. However Clay does not allow me to remove the association as I explained.

Hey Guillermo! Thanks for breaking that down, I'll note down the remove association as a feature request. Currently, we don't integrate with that action, but I believe you should be able to use an Update Object instead to change the association to a new one. This would mean first creating the new Company Object and then updating the contact association to that new object

Hello Hari. Yes, you could do that but:
1.
You don't want to keep the association with the old company.
2.
If you have a limit of 1 contact associated to 1 company (which I wouls say it should be the case) It would not let you even create that new association...

Hey Guillermo! I see - thanks for that clarity. I'll note this down as feedback as this seems like a needed use case. In the meantime, I'd suggest trying a custom field in hubspot you can call "Clay Match" or something of the such you can use as a proxy here
