Add Close-Out Context to Canny Feedback
Keep useful learning from a completed deal beside the product request it relates to.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Comment
Posts a new comment on a post.
Why this helps
Deal outcomes may be recorded in Affinity while the corresponding Canny request remains without the context that could inform prioritization.
- Preserve appropriate outcome context with the related request.
- Help product reviewers understand what happened after the discussion.
- Keep comments concise and based on supplied deal information.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Canny once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation to comment on a related Canny post with appropriate close-out context from the incoming deal update.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 4Test with one completed deal and a known related post.
Questions about this workflow
Can it infer why a deal closed or was lost?
No. The comment should use only outcome information supplied by Affinity and should leave unknown reasons unstated.
What identifiers does the Canny comment need?
The action requires the post ID and author ID. Ensure the workflow has the necessary identifiers before creating a comment.
