Check available person fields when a task updates
Make the next contact lookup precise by checking which Affinity person fields exist.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified.
Action
Get metadata on person fields
Returns metadata on non-list-specific person fields. use the returned field ids to request field data from the get `/v2/persons` and get `/v2/persons/{id}` endpoints.
Why this helps
Contact research becomes noisy when task requests rely on assumed field names.
- Makes contact requests more precise
- Clarifies available person attributes
- Reduces back and forth before outreach
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Affinity in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for person field discovery.
- 3Tell Notis to return Affinity person field metadata relevant to the updated task and explain what can be requested.
- 4Choose Google Tasks Task Updated as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with a task asking for a specific contact attribute.
