See the relevant Affinity person with a Drive comment
A comment may need relationship context before you act. Notis can retrieve the Affinity person record you specify and bring the available details into the run report.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Get a single person
Use get `/v2/persons/fields` with `fieldids` or `fieldtypes` for detailed data; basic info by default. request multiple fields at once. "export all people" permission needed.
Why this helps
A discussion in a document can leave you switching between Drive and Affinity to recall who is involved.
- Bring available Affinity person details into the report for a new comment event.
- Reduce manual lookups when reviewing document discussions.
- Make missing person identifiers visible instead of guessing a match.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Affinity once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which person identifier to use when available and how to summarize the returned person details.
- 4Choose the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment event and confirm the report identifies missing or ambiguous details.
Questions about this workflow
Will the comment text always identify a person?
Not necessarily. Tell Notis which event details to use, and have it report when the available information is insufficient or ambiguous.
Can this workflow add a note to Affinity?
No. The selected action retrieves a person record. It does not create or update Affinity data.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Affinity. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Affinity actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get a company s list entries
Summarize company data across all lists, including list-specific fields and metadata like creation date and author. access requires "export data from lists" permission.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get a company s lists
Returns metadata for all the lists on which the given company appears.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get all companies
Affinity api allows paginated access to company info and custom fields. use `fieldids` or `fieldtypes` to specify data in a request. retrieve field ids/types via get `/v2/companies/fields`. export permission needed.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Get all list entries on a list
Access and export essential data and metadata for companies, persons, or opportunities from a list, specifying data via `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. "export data from lists" permission is necessary.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
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.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get a person s list entries
Summary: browse rows for a person in all lists, showing field data and entry metadata like creation time and author. requires "export data from lists" permission.
