Give feedback follow-up a clear GitHub owner
Tell Notis which Canny feedback needs follow-up and who should own it. A scheduled review can assign the linked existing GitHub issue.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
Follow-up gets dropped when feedback has no obvious owner and no one revisits the queue.
- Add an owner to matched issues needing follow-up.
- Review the queue on a cadence that suits your team.
- See skipped or unmatched items in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canny and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which feedback needs follow-up, how to match it to an existing GitHub issue, and which GitHub user to assign.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Canny item that links to an existing GitHub issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can it assign issues without a clear match?
It should not. Instruct Notis to skip unclear matches and report them for manual review.
Can I use different assignees for different feedback?
You can describe routing rules in the instruction, but provide any ownership rules or context that Canny does not supply.
What if the scheduled run sees the same feedback again?
The provided app descriptions do not specify a history marker. Include a reliable way to distinguish items that already received follow-up, or review the run reports to prevent repeated assignment.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
