How to connect Specter with Affinity
Step 1: Create a new list on Affinity

Create New List
We highly recommend to push Specter Signals to a dedicated Affinity List
However, you can decide to push Specter Signal to any existing list
Select ‘Build from Scratch’
Select People if you are subscribed to Specter Talent Signals
Select Opportunities if you are subscribed to Specter Strategic Intelligence Signals
Select Organizations if you are subscribed to Specter Company Signals
Name and Create your List
Step 2: Connect with Affinity
Login to Specter
Go to Integrations
Click on Connect with Affinity
Paste your Affinity Admin API Key
Select the Affinity Lists you want to push Specter Signals to
Click Connect and go back to Affinity
Step 3: Customize View in Affinity
Go to the List you connected with Specter and click on Customize View
Specter automatically populated the list with its data points
Save the View
Go back to Specter
How to push one Signal

How to push Lists to Affinity
Each List now has the Add to Affinity feature enabled
Click on Add to Affinity and your Specter List will be pushed to Affinity
The Affinity API might take some time to process the requests, so don’t worry if the signals don’t appear right away 😉
How to push Filtered Searches To Affinity
Pushing less than 250 signals
You’ll also be able to push custom queries when you apply filters to Your Feeds
If the filtered query has less than 250 signals the Add to Affinity will automatically appear and you’ll be able to automatically push the signals - no difference compared to pushing a one Signal or a List.
Pushing more that 250 signals
However, if the filtered query has more than 250 signals, a different option called Export to Affinity will appear.
The reasoning behind this choice is because Affinity charges API calls for every single field connected to opportunities, people or organizations, hence by pushing hundreds or thousands of signals you may max out your Affinity API calls.
But no worries, it is all very straightforward 👉 this special export will include Specter signals formatted according to the fields we already built for you in Affinity. All you need to do is download the file and import it back in Affinity ✨
