Turn an incoming Ably request into an Affinity list brief
Ask for a list snapshot through an incoming request and get the useful context in one place.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get all list entries on a list
Access and export essential data and metadata for companies, persons, or opportunities from a list, specifying data via `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. "export data from lists" permission is necessary.
Why this helps
Checking a pipeline list manually interrupts focused work and makes it easy to miss the current state.
- Get a current list snapshot without switching into Affinity.
- Summarize entry data and metadata returned by the list endpoint.
- Use an incoming request to ask for the snapshot when it is needed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Affinity once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the requested Affinity list entries and summarize the returned data for an Ably update.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real list request and confirm the report is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does Affinity return every custom field on the list?
The endpoint supports requested field ids or field types. The automation can summarize only the data returned, and access requires the export data from lists permission.
Does Ably start this from an app event?
Ably has no trigger events in this setup. The automation starts from a Notis webhook request.
