Add Affinity contact context to new Asana tasks
Get a quick Affinity people lookup when a new task lands, so relationship context is ready where you review automation reports.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
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 task can arrive without the relationship context you need, sending you between Asana and Affinity to figure out who is involved.
- Surface relevant people records alongside new work.
- Reduce manual context switching between task and relationship tools.
- Keep a concise lookup in the automation run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Affinity once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for contact lookup on new tasks.
- 3Tell Notis to use task details to find relevant Affinity people and summarize matching records in the run report.
- 4Pick Asana's New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task and review the returned people data.

No. It retrieves people data and summarizes relevant results; the listed Affinity action does not create or update records.
What data can it retrieve?
