Why this helps
Review notes can live in separate tools and never make it back to the Canny discussion where teammates look for them.
- Record supplied review context beside the relevant post.
- Start the update from a connected system's HTTP request.
- Keep decision details visible in the existing feedback discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent Mail and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to add the supplied context as a comment to the identified Canny post, using only provided details.
- 4Pick a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Send one real example request and verify the comment appears on the specified post.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the request include?
Include the post identifier and the context you want added. The action requires the author and post identifiers.
Can it find the post from a vague description?
For reliable commenting, supply enough information to identify the post and author. Instruct Notis to stop for review if either is unclear.
