- Retrieve metadata for a specific Affinity list
- Confirm list context before a deeper data review
- Make targeted email research more efficient

Questions about this workflow
Does this retrieve the list's entries?
No. It retrieves metadata on a single list. List entries require a separate action.
What if no specific list is clear from the email?
Have Notis explain that the message did not identify a list clearly rather than selecting one without evidence.
