How do I add a person to Affinity?

Short answer: You can create person in crm in Affinity by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Affinity Create Person in CRM action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Person in CRM.

What does the Create Person in CRM action do in Affinity?

Creates a new person record in Affinity, optionally tied to an organisation and to specific lists. Affinity dedupes on email — adding an existing email returns the existing person. For relationship-intelligence to work, the person needs interaction history (emails, meetings) which Affinity auto-captures from connected accounts.

What inputs does Create Person in CRM require?

Required: First Name, Last Name. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Affinity returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Create Person in CRM support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Person in CRM inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Affinity's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
