Get urgent Canny feedback in front of an issue owner
Tell Notis what counts as urgent and who should own it. When feedback identifies an existing GitHub issue, Notis can assign that issue for follow-up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Urgent customer feedback can be noticed late when someone must manually connect it to an issue and find an owner.
- Give urgent feedback a clear next owner.
- Use your own urgency criteria in the instruction.
- Skip feedback without a confident match to an existing issue.
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 how to recognize urgent feedback, which existing GitHub issue to match, and which GitHub username to assign when the match is clear.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real urgent Canny report that identifies an existing GitHub issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this assign every feedback item?
No. The instruction can limit assignment to feedback that meets your urgency criteria and clearly matches an existing issue.
What access is needed to assign an issue?
The authenticated GitHub user needs push access to the repository. GitHub may silently ignore assignment changes without that access.
Can this assign several users?
The instruction can name the assignee or assignees to add, provided they are assignable in that repository.

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.
