Why this helps

A name or term can prompt a distracting search when you only need a quick explanation and origin.

  • Get an origin alongside the word's definition.
  • Review phonetic details in the same result.
  • Keep the lookup connected to the company record context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Affinity and Dictionary API once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to look up the supplied word from an Affinity company record and return its definition, phonetics, and origin.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real company-record term.
