Keep a feedback brief current as the request evolves
When new details arrive in Canny, have Notis refresh the existing Drive brief so the working context stays together.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Edit File

Why this helps
Important clarifications can remain in feedback threads while the document teammates rely on goes stale.
- Keep the working brief aligned with new feedback context.
- Reduce manual copy and paste between tools.
- Help reviewers work from a current summary.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canny and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the brief refresh.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find the matching existing Drive brief and update its contents with the new Canny context while preserving useful prior information.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a run report channel.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the correct document was updated.
Questions about this workflow
Does this append to the document?
The Edit File action overwrites the file content with new text. Instruct Notis to include the existing useful information and new context in the replacement content.
What if no matching brief exists?
Specify in your instruction whether Notis should report that no brief was found or create one through a separate workflow.
