Request Affinity list metadata on demand
When you need to understand a particular list, send a request to Notis and get its available metadata summarized for review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get metadata on a single list
Returns metadata on a single list.
Why this helps
Looking up the details for one list can interrupt focused work and make a quick question take longer than it should.
- Start a list metadata lookup from an HTTP request.
- Keep the result in a consistent report channel.
- Reduce the steps needed to inspect a specific list.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for on-demand list metadata.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve and summarize metadata for the list identified in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by sending one request for a real Affinity list.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook create a new Affinity list?
No. The action reads metadata for a single list.
What must the request include?
Include enough information in the request for Notis to identify the list, and test with a known list to confirm the lookup.

Get all list entries on a saved view
Use the endpoint to access rows in a saved view with specific filters and selected fields from a web app. it doesn't maintain sort order, supports only sheet-type views, and requires export permissions.
Task Moved to Section

Get all opportunities
Pagination through opportunities in affinity yields basic info but excludes field data. for field data, use specified get endpoints. "export data from lists" permission needed.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
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.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Get a person s list entries
