Keep Canny profiles current from agent activity

Trigger

Action

Tool to create or update a user in canny. use when you need to provision a new user or synchronize updates to an existing user profile. example: "create or update user with email user@example.com"
Why this helps
Profile updates captured in agent workflows can be forgotten before they reach the feedback workspace.
- Reduce manual profile maintenance.
- Keep known user details consistent across tools.
- Use a recurring review to catch updates that would otherwise be missed.
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 write its name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use user details available through Ably-connected agent activity to create or update the matching Canny user.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real user update and verify the matching profile.
Questions about this workflow
What user information can this sync?
Only details available to the connected tools and supplied by the activity can be used. Specify the profile details you want synchronized.
How does the schedule find updates?
The recurring instruction asks Notis to use information accessible through the connected Ably agent context. The workflow does not imply an Ably trigger or a guaranteed activity history.
What identifies the Canny user?
Provide a reliable identifier such as the user's email in the available activity so the right profile can be matched.
