Keep Canny feedback status aligned with Asana

Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Change Post Status
Tool to change a post's status. use when you need to update a post's workflow stage and optionally notify voters.
Why this helps
Teams may update task stages but forget to reflect the decision on the feedback board, leaving requesters unsure what happens next.
- Keep feedback status current as work progresses
- Reduce status updates across multiple tools
- Make the next stage clearer to reviewers
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, define which section moves matter, how to find the matching Canny post, and the intended status change.
- 4Pick the Asana Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task move that has a corresponding Canny post.
Questions about this workflow
Can I define different outcomes for different Asana sections?
Describe the relevant section moves and intended status changes in your instruction. The trigger fires when a task moves to a section.
How does Notis know which Canny post to update?
Provide a matching approach based on task information that is available. If there is no link or shared identifier, include the matching context in the task or instruction.
Can the status action notify voters?
The Canny action supports optional voter notification. State your preference in the instruction if that option is available in the connected action.
