Keep Canny status in step with device recovery
Once a connected project confirms recovery, pass that signal to Notis so the related feedback status can catch up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Change Post Status
Changes a post’s status and can notify voters.
Why this helps
Resolved device issues can remain marked as active when nobody remembers to update the corresponding feedback post.
- Reflect a supplied recovery signal in the related feedback post status.
- Reduce stale open items after a device issue is resolved.
- Keep the recovery event and post update connected through a Notis run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Device recovery status update.
- 3Tell Notis to change the supplied Canny post to the agreed resolved status when a confirmed recovery event arrives.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and send confirmed recovery events to its URL from your connected project or relay.
- 5Choose a run report destination, then test with one real recovery event and post ID.
Questions about this workflow
Will a recovery event choose the Canny status automatically?
The prompt should name the status your team uses for resolved feedback. The event must identify the related Canny post.
Can this close a post based on any device reading?
Use only a meaningful, confirmed recovery signal from your project or relay. Notis cannot determine your device's recovery criteria without them being provided.
Does Canny notify voters when the status changes?
The Change Post Status action can optionally notify voters. Specify whether to notify them in your instruction to Notis.
