Why this helps
Teams can struggle to compare requests when they have to jump between individual Canny posts.
- Review requests together in one Slack post.
- Preserve supporting context available in Canny.
- Make product discussion easier to start.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canny and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize recent feature requests from Canny and post the roundup with available supporting context to Slack.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
