What happens when you sync your email account into Affinity?

When you sign into Affinity for the first time, we’ll start automatically syncing your email/calendar data, which we use to auto-create people-type and organization-type contacts for you.

• People-type contacts are auto-created when there are full names associated with each email address (see When does Affinity auto-create contacts?).
• Organization-type contacts are auto-created based on the person's email domain.
  • If the email address is Jane Doe <jane.doe@airbnb.com> and Jane Doe is auto-created as a contact, then we'll auto-create Airbnb (airbnb.com) as an organization as well, and also associate it with Jane Doe.

Note: Gmail accounts sync every 4-6 minutes, and Office365 and Exchange accounts sync every 6-8 minutes

While Affinity syncs with emails in most folders in Gmail, Office 365, and Exchange, below are the few exceptions that we explicitly do not sync:
