Bloks integrates directly with Affinity, allowing you to push meeting notes and structured data into your CRM for seamless relationship management. This article walks you through how to set up the integration and where to use it within Bloks.
Integration Summary
The Bloks ↔ Affinity integration supports two main workflows:
Pushing meeting summaries to people or company records.
Updating structured data fields (generated by the Bloks knowledge base) for company and people records in Affinity.
This ensures your CRM stays updated with both qualitative insights and structured client information — all generated for you from within your Bloks workspace.

Select it to enter the Settings menu.

Pushing Meeting Summaries to Affinity
Now that you have integrated, you can easily push meeting summaries directly from Bloks to Affinity.
Access a Meeting Summary
Navigate to any past meeting in the Bloks Calendar View that has a meeting summary.
Select the meeting to open the Summary.
Open the Sharing Panel

Match to a Person or Company
If Bloks detects a match, it will be displayed automatically.
Otherwise, you can manually search for a person or company.
Select Export Note to push to the selected record.
If the contact does not exist, Bloks will create the record in Affinity and add the note.
Push to Affinity Confirmation
Once pushed to Affinity, an icon will appear on the calendar entry (or ad hoc note) in Bloks, indicating successful push.
Updating Structured Data in Affinity
The integration also allows structured data automatically gathered in Bloks templates to be pushed into Affinity.

On the right, choose an existing template or create a new one.

Below the data point mapping, you can also map longer-form text fields such as "Customer Overview" or other contextual insights.
Push to Affinity
From any Company Page in Bloks (via a calendar brief or search), click the Affinity icon (highlighted below) to initiate a data update.
A preview will appear showing fields that are ready to be updated.
