Keep a scheduled pulse on your Affinity people directory

Get a recurring, readable overview of the people data Affinity makes available.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get all persons

The affinity api offers paginated access to person data using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. bulk extraction needs special permissions and supports multiple parameters.

Why this helps

A large people directory is difficult to review consistently when every check requires manual searching.

  • Receive a repeatable overview of returned person data.
  • Use supported field ids or field types when detailed data is available.
  • Reduce the effort of routine directory reviews.

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 Affinity people data and summarize the returned fields for an Ably update.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real run and confirm permissions and returned fields.

Questions about this workflow

Are all person fields included automatically?

The endpoint uses field ids or field types for person data, and bulk extraction needs special permissions. The summary can only use fields returned.

Will this highlight new or changed people?

Not on its own. A comparison needs a baseline supplied or retained separately because this endpoint provides paginated person data, not change history.
