Turn validated email feedback into a Canny post
Send feedback from a webhook, validate the sender's email with Abstract, and let Notis create a Canny post when the address checks out.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Post
Creates a feature request or feedback post on a board.
Why this helps
Feedback can sit in inboxes while founders manually check addresses and re-enter requests in Canny.
- Screen submissions with Abstract email validation before creating a post.
- Reduce repetitive copying from incoming feedback into Canny.
- Keep feedback moving into the product feedback board.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to validate the submitted email with Abstract and create a Canny post from the feedback if it is valid.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example, including the feedback and the Canny board and user identifiers needed to create a post.
Questions about this workflow
Does Abstract send a trigger event for new feedback?
No. Abstract has no trigger events in this workflow, so a Notis webhook starts the automation.
What does the automation need to create a Canny post?
The request must supply the feedback and the board ID and user ID required by Canny. Abstract can validate the email, but it does not provide those identifiers.
