Keep feedback follow-ups with the Canny post
Carry a conversation forward by adding a clearly identified follow-up to its Canny post.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Comment
Tool to create a new comment on a post. use when you have the authorid and postid and want to submit feedback or replies.
Why this helps
Follow-up context can be scattered across channels, leaving the original feedback thread out of date.
- Keep follow-up information beside the relevant request.
- Avoid manually copying replies into Canny.
- Preserve the author and post context supplied with the event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to add a Canny comment only when the incoming event identifies both the post and author.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real follow-up that includes a valid post ID and author ID.
Questions about this workflow
What information is required to create a comment?
The Canny action requires the author ID and post ID. Include both in the webhook request or the workflow cannot safely create the comment.
Can this workflow create a new post if no post ID is provided?
No. This workflow is specifically for a follow-up comment on an identified post.
Does the workflow listen directly to Ably events?
No direct Ably trigger is listed. Notis starts when its webhook receives the request.
