Add a Canny comment after phone verification
When a webhook brings follow-up feedback, let Abstract verify the supplied phone number before Notis adds the response to the specified Canny post.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Why this helps
Founders may need to check contact details and locate a feedback thread before posting a simple follow-up.
- Verify submitted phone numbers using Abstract before adding a comment.
- Post follow-up feedback to the Canny discussion it belongs to.
- Avoid switching between contact checks and feedback management.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to verify the supplied phone number with Abstract and add the supplied comment to the identified Canny post when verification succeeds.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example that includes a phone number, comment text, author ID, and post ID.

Can Abstract identify the Canny post for the comment?
