Apply approved user deletion requests in Canny
Keep the request and decision together, then carry out the approved account removal in the feedback workspace.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete User
Deletes a user and their comments and votes.
Why this helps
An approved privacy request can require follow-up across systems, and the Canny action also removes the user's comments and votes.
- Reduce manual follow-up for an approved deletion request.
- Keep the target user tied to the recorded request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to delete a Canny user only when the submitted record explicitly approves deletion and supplies a valid user identifier.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Send one approved test record for an appropriate test user and review the Canny result.
