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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Affinity returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Person in CRM support batch operations?

Run Create Person in CRM inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Affinity's rate limits.
