Keep Canny feedback posts current with Airtable

When new context arrives in Airtable, send it to Notis to update the corresponding Canny post and keep the discussion grounded in the latest request.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Update Post

Tool to update post details. use when you need to change a post's title, details, eta, images, or custom fields.

Why this helps

Important customer details can change after a Canny post is created, leaving the discussion based on outdated information.

  • Keep post details aligned with updated feedback.
  • Reduce manual editing across tools.
  • Preserve context as a request evolves.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and Canny once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis to find the corresponding Canny post for each webhook update and refresh its details with the latest relevant Airtable context.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real update to an Airtable feedback record.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis match a record to a Canny post?

Describe the matching information available in your records, such as a stored Canny post identifier or a recognizable request title. The workflow cannot match using data that is not available.

Will this change the post title too?

Canny's Update Post action can change post details including title. Tell Notis which details to update and which to preserve.

What triggers the update?

An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts the workflow. Configure the Airtable side to send the updated record information.
