Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new Affinity contact when no match is found?
No. The available action retrieves a person record; it does not create or update contacts. The report can note when no match is found.
Will it show custom person fields?
Affinity returns basic person details by default. Detailed fields may require field identifiers or types and the appropriate export permission.
