Keep document workflow feedback current with verified findings
Bring new evidence into the feedback record the team already follows, without rewriting posts by hand.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Update Post
Updates a post’s details.
Why this helps
Feedback posts go stale when later document reviews uncover details that never make it back to the product discussion.
- Keep a related feedback post aligned with new review findings.
- Reduce duplicate posts caused by updates getting lost.
- Change only details supported by the available source data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name tied to document finding updates.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify the existing post and which verified details it may update, preserving unrelated content.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real result and review the updated post before relying on the schedule.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis update the post title, details, or ETA?
The action supports updating post details, but the workflow should specify exactly what may change and only use information supplied by the run.
Will this make a new post if it cannot find one?
This action updates a post. Instruct Notis to skip and report missing or ambiguous matches.
What if Affinda results are not available on the schedule?
Notis can only use results included in or accessible to the scheduled run. Supply the relevant data or reference as part of your workflow.
