Trigger

New Email Received

Action

Get metadata on a single list s fields

Returns metadata on the fields available on a single list. use the returned field ids to request field data from the get `/v2/lists/{listid}/list-entries` endpoint.

Why this helps

You may need a particular detail for follow-up but not know whether the relevant Affinity list tracks it.

  • See which fields are available on a relevant list
  • Identify whether a desired detail may be stored there
  • Prepare a more focused records lookup

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agent mail and Affinity once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
  • 3Describe how to identify the relevant list and summarize its available fields in one instruction.
  • 4Choose New Email Received as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a message tied to a list whose field metadata you can verify.

Questions about this workflow

Does this retrieve values from those fields?

No. It returns metadata about fields available on a single list. Values come from a separate list entry action.

Can it tell me if Affinity tracks a specific detail?

It can report whether a corresponding field appears in the returned metadata, but it cannot infer data that is not present.
