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.
