Relationship Intelligence Integration

Capture Every Call In Affinity, Without Lifting A Finger

Marlie AI answers your inbound calls, identifies the person and organization, and writes the activity straight into Affinity — so your relationship data stays sharp.

Built for VCs, dealmakers, and relationship-driven teams

Built for VCs, dealmakers, and relationship-driven teams

Affinity is the relationship intelligence layer that VCs, advisors, and dealmakers run on — every email, meeting, and warm intro automatically captured. Phone calls, especially the unscheduled ones from founders and LPs, are the one signal that often slips through.

Marlie AI fills that gap. Inbound calls are answered, the caller is matched to a person and organization in Affinity, and the call is logged as an activity with a transcript and summary. New people and organizations are created automatically so deal context is never lost.

What You Get with Marlie + Affinity

Everything you need to connect your phone calls with Affinity — fully automated, zero manual work.

Person & Organization Matching

Marlie matches inbound callers to existing Affinity persons and organizations by phone and email and creates new records when needed.

Activity Logging

Every call is logged on the matching person and organization in Affinity with a summary, transcript, and recording link.

List & Pipeline Updates

Calls can update relevant Affinity lists — pipeline stages, status fields, and custom fields — based on what happened on the call.

Deal Intent Detection

Marlie detects whether a call is from a founder, LP, co-investor, or service provider and routes activity to the right list.

Custom Field Mapping

Map call data points — sector, stage, ask, intro source — to any Affinity custom field so reports stay clean.

Real-Time Sync

Records are written to Affinity within seconds of the call ending so the team picks up exactly where Marlie left off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Marlie AI + Affinity integration.

Which Affinity plans work with Marlie?

Any Affinity plan that includes API access works. Marlie uses the Affinity REST API for matching, logging, and list updates.

Will Marlie create duplicate persons in Affinity?

No. Marlie matches inbound callers to existing persons and organizations by phone and email and updates the existing record instead of duplicating it.

Can Marlie update list entries and statuses?

Yes. Calls can update list entries — pipeline stage, status, custom fields — so movement on a deal reflects automatically based on what was discussed.

Are call recordings stored inside Affinity?

Transcripts and summaries are written to the Affinity activity. Full recordings stay hosted in Marlie with a secure link from the Affinity record.

How does Marlie handle calls from someone not yet in Affinity?

Marlie creates a new person and organization with the captured details and logs the inbound call as the first activity, so first-touch is preserved.

Can Marlie respect Affinity custom fields and lists per team?

Yes. The mapping is configurable per list and per custom field so different deal teams can keep their own pipeline structure.
