Why this helps
Product updates can be ready to share but still wait on someone to rewrite and publish them in Canny.
- Turn release notes into a customer-facing update faster.
- Choose whether an entry should publish now or later through your instruction.
- Make voter notification part of the stated publishing decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to turn each update into a changelog entry and whether to publish or notify users.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real product update and review the resulting entry.
Questions about this workflow
Can the changelog entry remain unpublished?
Yes. The Canny action supports creating an entry with optional publishing, so state the desired timing in your instruction.
What update details should the webhook include?
Include the title and product change details you want reflected. Notis cannot supply missing release information.
Does this workflow publish automatically?
That depends on your instruction. Specify whether entries should be published immediately, left unpublished, or scheduled if supported by the action.
