The "Retrieve associated objects" action for HubSpot has several optional settings that might affect your results. Check if you have the "Remove blank values from results" option enabled, as this could filter out results that contain empty fields. You can also try adjusting the "Limit" setting to ensure you're not inadvertently restricting the number of results returned. Additionally, consider enabling "Include read only properties" to capture more comprehensive data from the associated objects. Are you using any specific filters or limits in your "Retrieve associated objects" configuration that might be causing the empty results?

The "Retrieve associated objects" action requires specific inputs to function properly: From object type, To object type, and From object ID (the unique identifier of the object you want to lookup associations on). When the action shows 301 associations found but returns empty results, this typically indicates the associations exist but the data retrieval isn't configured correctly. The optional settings you've already checked - "Remove blank values from results," "Include read only properties," and "Limit" - are secondary configurations that filter or enhance the output rather than control the core data retrieval. Can you confirm what values you're using for the From object ID field and whether it matches the exact HubSpot object identifier format?

Open the block settings. Go to Association Type Select the correct object type (e.g, "Companies" "Deals" "Contacts") Then click “Fields to Retrieve” Select the fields (e.g., Name, Email, Domain) Run the block again.

Retrieve associated objects only gives you IDs, not full data (like name, email)

✅ Solution: Add a “Get Contact by ID” block after it. Use the retrieved IDs as input. Select the fields you want (name, email, etc.)
